SEVENTEEN have announced the upcoming release of a new full-length album, which will be in celebration of their 10th anniversary this May.
South Korean news outlet Star News reported on March 24 that the K-pop boyband are due to release a new studio album on May 26, the 10th anniversary of their debut. The as-yet-untitled record would be their fourth studio album so far, with the most recent being 2022’s ‘Face the Sun’, featuring title track ‘Hot’.
Although details about the new project remain sparse, their label Pledis Entertainment confirmed that all 13 members of the band were involved in the album’s creation and recording. This includes Jeonghan and Wonwoo, who worked on the record prior to their military enlistment.
Jeonghan was the first SEVENTEEN member to enlist for two years of mandatory service back in September 2024. Wonwoo is scheduled to enlist on April 3, as announced earlier this month.
The announcement of new music from SEVENTEEN comes only a few weeks since members Hoshi and Woozi debuted as a new sub-unit with their single album ‘Beam’ on March 10. It featured lead single ’96ers’, as well as B-sides ‘Stupid Idiot’ and ‘Pinocchio’, featuring So!YoON!
The duo are the second SEVENTEEN sub-unit to release music in 2025, with BSS – comprising Hoshi, DK and Seungkwan – releasing the ‘Teleparty’ single album last month. The record marked their first comeback in two years, headlined by title track ‘CBZ (Prime Time)’.
‘Teleparty’ received a glowing five-star review from NME’s Carmen Chin: “Over the course of three tracks, Seungkwan, DK and Hoshi, having rekindled the lost art of quirky K-pop, expand on their grounded whimsicality.”
