SEVENTEEN: A first step between past and present
The group SEVENTEEN (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, Dokyeom, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino) released official photos with nine years of history before the release of its “Best album” on April 29.
SEVENTEEN released the official photos version “HEAR.zip” of their “Best album” “17 IS RIGHT HERE” on its official SNS on April 17. A total of 27 photos were released, with one collage cut added to two individual cuts for each member.
In these photos, SEVENTEEN shows off its urban charm surrounded by various music-related objects, such as guitars, keyboards, turntables and speakers. The sky blue background gives a soft impression and the members of SEVENTEEN dressed in achromatic costumes which create a sophisticated atmosphere.
There are photos with words from SEVENTEEN’s first albums, “17 CARAT“, “BOYS BE“, “Al1”, “TEEN, AGE“, “DIRECTORS…CUT”, “YOU MAKE MY DAY“, ” 헹가래”, “ATTACCA”, “FACE THE SUN” and “FML” which were recorded to raise expectations for this “Best album”.
The official photos version “HEAR.zip” suggests that the best album will tell SEVENTEEN’s own story. Agency Pledis Entertainment explained: “It expresses the process of SEVENTEEN communicating with the world and building its own world with music that contains its own stories.”
SEVENTEEN will release two more official photo versions of the “HEAR.zip” version for their “Best album” on April 18 and 20. As the album is known to be a work that encompasses SEVENTEEN’s past, present and future, fans are becoming more and more curious about what concepts and meanings will be included in the newly released photos.
SEVENTEEN meets its fans through the “SEVENTEEN TOUR ‘FOLLOW’ AGAIN” encore tour in major stadiums in Korea and Japan. The tour, which kicked off at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium from last month’s 30th to 31st, will take place at the Seoul World Cup Stadium from 27th to 28th, followed by the Yanma Nagai Stadium in Osaka from May 18th to 19th, and the Nissan Stadium in Kanagawa from May 25 to 26.
