Two of the greatest vocal powerhouses of K-Pop are indisputably DK and Seungkwan of SEVENTEEN, and the duo decided to remind us of that once again with the release of their first project as DxS. The mini-album Serenade takes us through the emotional arc of a relationship, from the first meeting to the heartbreaking end.
The angelic voices of DK and Seungkwan bring the absolute best of this love story to life and comfort us through it as well. From the thrill of DK’s solo, ‘Rockstar,’ which narrates the “butterflies in your stomach” feeling of first meeting someone to the gut-wrenching feeling of seeing that person slip away in ‘Silence,’ Serenade is a perfect showcase of DxS’s vocal and storytelling abilites. Honestly, there’s a little something for everyone waiting to be discovered in this album.
‘Blue’
‘Blue’ is the lead single of Serenade and one of the tracks that got us crying the most while we listened… and then again when we watched the music video. A 7-minute music video, by the way. Starring actors Yoo-mi Lee and Steve Sanghyun Noh, the MV feels like a short film that, much like the lyrics, depict “love moving at different paces,” causing the couple to drift apart.
We could spend hours talking about the masterpiece that is this MV. After showing us Sanghyun as a man whose wounds seem too deep to overcome and Yoo-mi as the devoted lover who grows weary of this relationship, we are left wondering what will happen to these two. Will they overcome the difficulties or drift apart forever? Well, seems like we’ll find out on January 19, when an epilogue version of the music video is set to be released.
You can check out the 7-minute cinematic music video for ‘Blue’ below and join us as we sob our way through this beautiful track (again).
The Kings of Musical Versatility
It’s not like we didn’t know that already, but seeing DxS deliver a whole mini album actively showing us how much range they have is honestly very nice. The six songs present in Serenade range from pop-rock to ballad to R&B and we love it!
Like we’ve mentioned, Serenade opens with DK’s solo track, ‘Rockstar,’ and towards the end we also have Seungkwan’s solo, ‘Dream Serenade,’ a direct contrast to the upbeat vibes of DK’s solo. This one explores the concept of finding mutual closure through understanding. Also, DxS were involved in writing and composing these tracks, which is probably why we enjoy them so much.
Beyond the solos, we’re also obsessed with ‘Guilty Pleasure,’ with its R&B sound and irresistible lyrics about being curious enough to face the possible dangers. ‘Silence’ captured our hearts as well with its depiction of the emptiness that follows a breakup we all saw coming but still hurts anyway. And what can we say about the album closer ‘Prelude of love?’ Insipiring to say the least, and a reminder that there’s always a new beginning at the end of every journey.
We already knew DK and Seungkwan are incredibly talented artists from group releases, previous solo tracks and covers, that’s not news. However, Serenade feels like a step further into that talent. And we cannot wait to see what comes next!

But enough chit-chatting for now! We’ve got a hefty September K-Pop hotspot, so let’s get into all the comebacks and debuts you may have missed.
NCT WISH
We’re holding on to the last bit of summer with this September hotspot, and NCT WISH are on the same wavelength! Their new mini-album, COLOR, is a breath of fresh air. The title track ‘COLOR’ is bright and fun, with a chorus that has been stuck in our heads all month! We even got music videos for ‘Surf’ and ‘Baby Blue!’ Don’t sleep on the rest of their b-sides like ‘Videohood’ and ‘WICHU.’
TREASURE brought us to ‘PARADISE’ with their September K-Pop comeback! Who says summer is over? We’ll be back to those fun days with this funky title track—a star for any party. We fell immediately for this song, and how could we not? It’s so fun and makes us feel like we’ve traveled to a special, magical place. It was the perfect start to the month, and a beautiful way to say goodbye to the hot season while still keeping it alive in our hearts through music. Who else is grooving to the sounds of TREASURE’s new music?
Our K-Pop queen is back to serve and slay! We’re living for HYOLYN’s unapologetic new single, ‘SHOTTY.’ She sings about moving on from a breakup, knowing her ex will grow to regret losing her. The choreography has our jaws on the floor, and we expected nothing less from our fave K-Pop baddie. HYOLYN gave us everything we needed with just one song, and we hope she’ll bless us with more soon!
In the words of the legendary Cher, “I am a rich man.” aespa embodies this self-assured and confident energy in their sixth mini-album, Rich Man. The title track, ‘Rich Man,’ is an explosive track with a cinematic music video masterpiece. aespa inspires us to be the rich man in our lives, beyond having money to sustain our lifestyles. We didn’t skip through any of their b-sides, and our favorites are ‘Angel #48’ and ‘To The Girls.’
We never thought we’d see the day NCT DREAM’s Haechan would release his first-ever solo album! TASTE fully exceeded our expectations, especially the title track ‘CRZY.’ His vocals and rap skills immediately hooked us, and we stayed for the choreography. Haechan proves his all-rounder talents with this album. We especially love the b-sides ‘ADRENALINE’ and ‘WYN?’ with HAON!
Next on our September K-Pop hotspot is CIX’s new EP, GO Chapter 1: GO Together! They’re entering a new era, and we’re here for it. Whoever edited the ’WONDER YOU’ music video knew exactly what they were doing with the thumbnail. It definitely worked on us, though! The title track is groovy and too catchy to skip. Speaking of skips, this mini-album doesn’t have any! Each b-side is worthy of being the title track, and we don’t say that lightly.
TWICE Chaeyoung’s solo debut is finally here! LIL FANTASY vol. 1 is easily one of our favorite September K-Pop releases. ‘SHOOT (Firecracker)’ is a dreamy title track with such a creative concept and music video. The music video for ‘AVOCADO’ (feat. Gliiico) is so kooky yet so Chaeyoung. She knows her strengths, and we’re in love with the indie and R&B sound of the album. Every song fits her vibe, and we especially love ‘BAND AID’ and ‘BF.’
After getting a taste of JUNHEE‘s solo music with the pre-release of ‘Supernova,’ we’ve been so eager to hear more. And now we’re hooked on the whole The First Day & Night mini-album. Ever felt spoiled by a music release, because this is how we feel. Not only did the album give us double title tracks in ‘Umbrella (10:00)’ and ‘Too Bad (15:00),’ but it also fed our CHOICE hearts. We yelled after seeing the B-side ‘Tattoo (12:30)’ featuring all of the A.C.E members, instantly knowing it would be one of our favorites on the album. We also find it interesting and quite a fun choice to match each song with a time of day, emphasizing the title of the release, The First Day & Night. Now we have a JUNHEE song to listen to throughout the day, yes, even at 2 AM.
Are we ever ok when TAEMIN releases new music? The answer is a definite no. ‘Veil’ has us in its clutches, and it’s not letting us go any time soon (not like we’re even trying to escape, anyways). The song draws us with its dark atmosphere, creating an alluring charm. TAEMIN’s artistry always leaves us in awe, with jaws dropped and words lost. This special digital single captured our hearts with all three of its tracks, which also include the absolutely enchanting ‘FINALE,’ and the equally captivating Japanese version of ‘Veil.’
PLAVE blessed us with the Korean version of ‘Hide and Seek,’ and we couldn’t be happier! This version feels like the bittersweet feelings that come at the end of summer. We’re sad to see it go, but we’re hopeful of the promise that it will return. ‘Hide and Seek’ is such a beautiful and uplifting song about finally finding the one and announcing it to the whole world.
New boy group alert! IDID finally dropped their official debut, and we’re too busy dancing to their title piece, ‘CHAN-RAN.’ It gives off a refreshing feel and spreads so much positivity that we can’t help but love this for the boys’ entry into the K-Pop music scene. It matches them extremely well, and honestly, we can never have too many songs with a message of hope. We highly recommend checking out their B-sides as well. We have a feeling you’d like the variety they prepared for this special start of their idol careers.
September is full of new K-Pop singles! BADVILLAIN came back with ‘THRILLER,’ a self-empowerment anthem that’ll get you hyped! If you ever need some morning motivation, this is the song you need. These girls eat up every concept they get, and we need to see them on our playlists more often!
YUQI is back with a new solo single album, Motivation! Her title track, ‘M.O.,’ is giving us old school hip-hop vibes. The instrumental is absolutely a banger, and YUQI’s voice and rap pair with it so well. No one’s doing it like her! On the flip side, she also blessed us with Korean and Chinese versions of ‘Gone,’ a pop-rock track we can blast in the car with all the windows down!
Is anyone else a fan of the dark and mysterious vibes? LUN8‘s ‘Lost’ gave us exactly that through this latest focus track and its music video. And after listening once, we have to say we are ABSOLUTELY obsessed! The boys did it again with a new concept that slayed and showed a more mature side to them, which took our hearts with its dreamy sound. The boys also made sure to include only bangers in the single album, so you’d better be all over ‘Bad Girl’ and ‘Nauty’ already! LUN8 outdid themselves, making this one of our top releases from them so far.
EXO’s solo comebacks this year are healing all of us. Next is SUHO with his fourth EP, Who Are You. The title track is a rock masterpiece about moving on from an ex after a breakup. He also gave us the English version, which we’re hoping is a hint at a future solo tour. We absolutely adore SUHO’s classic sound, and his discography has only been getting better and better. Our favorite b-sides are ‘Birthday’ and ‘Fadeout.’
KickFlip has just dropped their third mini-album, My First Flip! These boys are booked and busy this year. We’ve been obsessed with the title track, ‘My First Love Song.’ It carries a freeing energy that comes with being a teenager in love. We really hope to see KickFlip perform this song live one day. Their b-sides deserve all the love, and we recommend listening to them all!
Did you also scream a little (or a lot) after hearing the news of The KingDom‘s special album? And then did the realization that we’re going back to their iconic sound and roots make you lose your minds as well? Yes, we can fully relate! With ‘Last Flower’ first making an appearance a couple of years back, we’re absolutely rejoicing that the song finally got its long-awaited official release. We’ll be playing this track, along with the rest of the B-sides on the album, and crying a little from how happy we are over them.
Everyone, wake up! Stop sleeping on Yerin because she has released her first digital single, Awake, and we couldn’t be more obsessed! It’s a pop-rock track that motivates us to chase our dreams. ‘Awake’ is the type of freeing song we’d play running through a field of flowers, slowing down and stopping for no one! Yerin brings out this side of us with every new release.
MOODZ, we’re so back! Our favorite rockstar is finally here and releasing his absolutely captivating music again, and we couldn’t be happier. WOODZ has us locking onto his latest two-piece release, and if you’re not joining us, you’re already missing out on so much. ‘I’ll Never Love Again’ hits so hard; it reminds us why we love everything WOODZ drops our way. From the deep meaning to the calmer yet gradually building verses of the song, to how it explodes during the chorus. We’re absolutely lost in the music!
We are living for the rock vibes in so many EXO members’ solo comebacks! Chen has just released his fifth EP, Arcadia, and we find it to be refreshing yet uniquely him. The title track, ‘Arcadia,’ is a breakup anthem for when you finally feel ready to move on from your ex. While Chen opted for a simpler music video setup, we can feel his rocker energy straight from the screen. His talent never ceases to amaze us, and we can’t get enough of his B-side tracks! Trust us when we say you won’t want to skip through any of them.
The latest unit by SEVENTEEN is here! S.COUPS and MINGYU brought us quite the title track. ‘5, 4, 3 (Pretty woman) (feat. Lay Bankz)’ inserts the instantly recognizable hit ‘Oh, Pretty Woman,’ infusing it into the duo’s song and sound, bringing forth a different yet still funky appeal while also making it their own. The song is already ruling our playlists. But that’s not all we love from CxM (SEVENTEEN). We’ve been excited for this unit, and you can easily tell why through their sound. We’re having a ‘Fiesta’ with the entirety of the HYPE VIBES album, and yes, we’re having trouble picking a fave track. They’re all just THAT good.
POW continue to explore their musical colors, and their new single, ‘Wall Flowers,’ shows us a different side of the boys yet again. The song has a smooth and captivating sound that keeps our attention glued. We love when idols experiment and test out new styles and sounds, and we’re already giving ‘Wall Flowers’ much love. We can’t wait to see what’s next on their release plan.
izna brought out their powerful presence with ‘Mamma Mia’ and gave us a confidence-boosting end of September. Not Just Pretty is a comeback we encourage everyone to take a listen to. And if you loved their single ‘SIGN,’ which dropped earlier this year, then you’d be happy to hear that this album comes with its remix version! A new way to enjoy one of our favorite releases from the girls. And because we love giving suggestions, make sure you check out the B-side ‘Racecar.’
That’s all for our newest K-Pop hotspot! What was your favorite September K-Pop comeback and debut? Which comebacks are you most looking forward to in October? Let us know in the comments below, or tweet us @TheHoneyPOP!
What a time to be a K-Pop fan! We at THP are so excited to share our October K-POP HOTSPOT with you all. This month blessed us with so many new K-Pop comebacks and debuts. Have you been keeping up?

THIS MONTH’S NEWS

First of all, we have some fun releases that might have flown under the radar like BTS Jin’s full version of ‘Super Tuna’ which got us ready for his first full comeback with a fun music video! Next up we had one of our favorite groups XG giving us another earworm with ‘IYKYK,‘ like turn this bop up and make sure you listen here and pre-order AWEhere! Additionally, our girls from aespa finally gave us some solo songs! Before the girls dropped their new banger mini, they released solo songs from the SYNK : PARALLEL LINE world tour, and the girls delivered and really captured their personalities in each song. make sure you listen to them here. Well, that’s it for music news.

Tickets have been on sale since the 15th so make sure you grab yours asap! Another artist that already hit the stage in the US on the 23rd is SEVENTEEN. The boys are on the road for the time being so check out if there are still tickets available on official sites!

Let’s go and support our boy!
As a final piece of exciting news is the fact that BABYMONSTER just dropped their first full album and to honor that Spotify just selected the girls as the newest RADAR KOREA artist. What an honor! We are so proud of these girls.
EXO CHEN
Chen. The man that you are. He didn’t have to bless us with two new songs for this October hotspot, but he still did. ‘Love you’ and ‘Brighter than’ from his latest single, Beyond, are such emotional ballads that bring tears to our eyes. And the live clip for ‘Love you’ hits even harder. Forget the fancy sets and special effects; all we need is Chen and his beautiful voice. He knew exactly what we needed to hear and worked on these songs with us in mind.
Speaking of our fave K-Pop men, Changsub of BTOB is officially back with his new solo studio album, 1991. Last month, he gifted us five pre-release songs from the album, and we haven’t stopped listening since. This album is an ode to Changsub’s life journey, and we’re so happy to take part in it just by listening. If there’s one thing we know about Changsub, it’s that he has the ultimate range of vocals for any style of song. From dance songs like ‘Saturday Night’ to headbanging rock tracks like ‘Chivalry,’ Changsub has it all on lock!
SF9’s Yoo Taeyang is back with an emotional new single, ‘Hug Me!’ He sings about longing for comfort and warmth when you’re feeling lost. The guitar instrumentals and Taeyang’s vocals hit us right in the feels. It sounds like it belongs in a romance drama, specifically when the two main characters go through a rough patch. They miss one another but need the time apart for the plot. Does anyone else feel that way, or is it just us?
We got the collab of the summer with ‘Easy dance’ a couple of few months ago, and now Hui is back with another timeless collab! This time, he joins forces with Jang Hye-Jin to showcase mind-blowing vocals and emotions in the most beautiful and heartbreaking way with ‘Nameless.’ Hui never fails to deliver with his songwriting because ‘Nameless’ is simply the perfect ballad.
Were you ready for a groovy EPEX experience in the October K-POP HOTSPOT? The boys stole our hearts with the cute pre-release ‘My Girl,’ and we will gladly point you in the direction of this single so you can join us in loving the group’s music. Who doesn’t like an adorable love song? And when EPEX is this good at bringing us just the right delivery of emotions and atmosphere, there’s only one thing to do. Stream ‘My Girl’ and stream their music.
Got sleepless nights? We recommend you fill them with CNBLUE’s music. It took us exactly one second (no joke) to know that ‘A Sleepless Night’ would be a banger, and after listening to the whole song, we concluded that we were correct. But when has CNBLUE’s music disappointed us? Their entire album 𝘟 reminds us just why we love the band. With a versatile set of tracks to choose from, you won’t go wrong with any of the songs. And in the spirit of diverse musical colors, here are our recommendations from the B-sides: ‘BAD BAD,’ ‘RACER,’ and ‘Tonight.’
When it comes to SEVENTEEN, is it even a question if we love their music? ‘LOVE, MONEY, FAME (feat. DJ Khaled)’ immediately climbed into our hearts and settled there (as well as on our playlists.) SEVENTEEN has this talent for creating songs we’ll love, title tracks, and B-sides alike. SPILL THE FEELS is yet another proof of the group’s immense talent. Among the two group side tracks, we are also gifted new unit songs, making for an ideal SEVENTEEN release. With a tracklist like this one, we experience the many sides of the artists, including their group colors and the different vibes that each unit brings to the table. Constantly growing and showing us their new musical sides, it is impossible for us not to love SEVENTEEN.
Billlie has returned with their fifth mini-album, Of All We Have Lost! And dare we say, this is one of the best EPs they’ve released so far? Every one of their comebacks has been simply *chef’s kiss*, but there’s something about this one. The title track, ‘Remembrance Candy,’ is perfect for playing on a chill afternoon. And the pre-released title track, ‘trampoline,’ is a groovy and jazzy song reminding us of the comfort we can find in simple things from childhood, like a trampoline. We’re also obsessed with the b-sides, ‘Bluerose’ and ‘Shame!’ Of All We Have Lost is a THP-certified, no-skips mini-album!
SAYMYNAME has made their official debut in this October hotspot with their first mini-album, SAY MY NAME! The title track, ‘WaveWay,’ is so refreshing and fun, and it has an addictive melody! The animated and plush cats are adorable next to these girls in the music video. (Can we also discuss how cute the album cover art is?) Don’t sleep on their b-sides either. It’s safe to say we’ll keep our eyes on SAYMYNAME in the future!
ILLIT has made their first comeback with their second mini-album, I’ll Like You! The title track, ‘Cherish (My Love)’ is super catchy and dreamy with a quirky, tooth fairy-esque music video to match. We catch ourselves singing the chorus randomly throughout the day. And their b-sides are so good! ‘Pimple’ is our absolute favorite, and it deserves to be on repeat on your feel-good playlist.
It’s always good news to know Purple Kiss is making a comeback – and what a comeback they just had with HEADWAY! ‘ON MY BIKE’ is everything with love about Purple Kiss: addictive, overflowing with confidence and talent, yet fun and an absolute banger. But, of course, in great Purki fashion, the b-sides are just as worthy to rave about. If you’re like us and haven’t forgotten the masterpiece, ‘Sweet Juice,’ then their songs, such as ‘Sweet Nightmare’ and ‘Encore,’ and this entire comeback, are made for you!
AMPERS&ONE having an October comeback means only one thing: we’re all over it! The boys have us obsessed with yet another title track, ‘He + She = We.’ The song is an addictive, funky piece that chooses a fun way to express one’s love and how two people who are meant to be together simply complete each other. And that’s not the only thing we love about their comeback. We’ve been swaying to the B-sides, having fun listening to AMPERS&ONE’s music. We have just 𝘖𝘕𝘌 𝘘𝘜𝘌𝘚𝘛𝘐𝘖𝘕 for you. What are 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 favorite songs from this album?
BOL4 is back! This is not a drill! We got a new single, ‘Bloom,’ and we haven’t been able to talk about anything else since it dropped. Fans of house music, this one’s for you! The beat drops in ‘Bloom’ are simply everything we’ve needed, especially in the last chorus. BOL4 never misses; this new concept and sound fit her well. We can’t wait to blast this at our next solo dance party.
Next on our list of October K-Pop comebacks, DIA’s Eunice is back with her new solo single, ‘Daydream!’ And we always love to see her pop up on our playlists. ‘Daydream’ is her third single of the year and another banger courtesy of Eunice. It’s the type of song we’d play frolicking through a field or just sitting with nature. Her voice does not disappoint. We’re obsessed with how well it pairs with the rock ballad sound!
MISAMO’s style team seriously deserves a raise! This trio has returned with their second mini-album, HAUTE COUTURE. And it’s everything we could’ve wanted it to be! Their pre-release track, ‘New Look,’ covers Namie Amuro’s song. Mina, Sana, and Momo are breathtaking in this feel-good tribute. ‘Identity’ is an empowering self-love anthem about being yourself and slaying no matter what. They know what the people want, and we’re living for this comeback.
It is known The Boyz can pull off every concept, but something constantly shifts in the air when they come back with a dark concept, and ‘TRIGGER’ did indeed just rearrange our brain chemistry. While ‘TRIGGER,’ with its glorious and intense sound, already makes this comeback a masterpiece, every song in the mini-album adds to it while having its own identity and style. And we finally got the studio version of ‘Bite Back!’ That alone was enough to have us on the edge of our seats for this comeback, but it shouldn’t be a surprise at this point that The Boyz exceeded all of our expectations!
Don’t let this October K-Pop comeback slip under your radar! Solar’s latest single, ‘First Love,’ is a remake of Utada Hikari’s song. She translates the lyrics into Korean, which sounds just as beautiful and healing as the original. Solar has somehow wowed us even more with her talents, soft voice, and the feelings she brings out of us. We’ll forever be glad we stan a queen like Solar!
Speaking of queens, SNSD’s Sooyoung has made her official Japanese debut with ‘Unstoppable!’ This inspiring track has the high energy of someone who can do anything. They’re simply unstoppable, just like Sooyoung! And the chorus, rap verse, music production, and visuals? Sooyoung didn’t come to play with this debut, and we’re so glad she’s finally given the spotlight she deserves!
Everyone, sit down! Jamie is back with a new single, and we’ve been missing her from our playlists for too long. ‘Bad Luck’ is a catchy heartbreak anthem about wishing an ex bad luck. It’s dedicated to everyone who played you or did you wrong, and honestly, real. Jamie’s releases are always fire, and we’ve been repeating this track since it dropped. We hope this comeback means she’ll be in the studio again. (Please?)
Not only did we get a Changsub solo album in this month’s hotspot, but we also got a BTOB unit comeback! How did we get so lucky? Our kings have dropped ‘Please Stay,’ the most beautiful ballad we’ve heard in a long time. And you know it’s serious business when Minhyuk and Peniel sing their hearts out, too. We already planned to stay by BTOB’s side no matter what, but this song only makes us sure of our decision. Here’s hoping we get a full 6TOB comeback soon!
It’s happening, everyone! STAY CALM! After seven years, the king of K-Pop, the one and only G-DRAGON, made his triumphant return with ‘POWER.’ We don’t know about anyone else, but we’ve been freaking out this past week trying to figure out when his comeback or pre-release track would drop. And wow, was it worth the wait! ‘POWER’ proves G-DRAGON’s true artistry, especially with the references to iconic solo and BIGBANG songs. There’s no one doing it like GD, and we’re even more hyped for his future releases. It’s still the year of the dragon, after all!
Fellow BABYs we are actually getting so fed this year as long-time B.A.P fans. First a reunion now more and more solo music by the boys! Jongup has always been one of our favorite boys and he proved it again this month with his new mini album and title song ‘Twist Ya.’ The groove in this one is insane we love the more retro sound and the beat. Jongup’s vocals are up to par and he performs the heck out of this song. The entire album is full of bangers and we can’t get enough of it for now. It’s the perfect way to end this spooky month!
That’s a wrap on this month full of K-pop treats! What was your favorite comeback of the month? Which comebacks are you most excited about for next month? Let us know in the comments below, or tweet us @TheHoneyPOP!
SEVENTEEN continues to make history this year, and we’re just super proud of them. We also got some news on Jeonghan, Jun, and Seungkwan, as well as sneak peeks at their upcoming album!👀

If you’ve ever been to a SEVENTEEN show, then you’ve heard a handful of these tracks live and know how well they can perform. So, we expected some of these tracks because they do like to pull out their top hits for moments like this. Some of our favorite track performances had to be ‘Headliner,’ ‘Cheers,’ ‘Hot,’ ‘Maestro,’ and, of course, the never-ending ‘Aju Nice.’ We know you have been seeing the fancams from that day 😉
You can watch the full performance on their official YouTube channel. The boys always put on one hell of a show, but this one is just different, making history; while it was Jeonghan’s last performance for a little while, sadly, we were missing Jun.
It Will Always Be 13
Okay, so we got the news about Jun and Jeonghan around the same time; PLEDIS let Carats know that neither will be going on their upcoming tour nor will they be participating in album promotions, but they did film some stuff for the album beforehand, which is good! So Jun is currently in China diving into more acting, and Jeonghan will be starting his Military Service on September 26th. We also want to mention that Seungkwan has been appointed public relations ambassador for Jeju Island, which we know is a big deal for him as he is a Jeju Native. And a possible collab between Vernon and DJ Khaled? We’re proud of all the boys!
12th Mini Album
So we got our first teaser of the upcoming 12th mini-album, pictures, and the album name! Pledis first tweeted the 12th mini-album teaser, and we were shown a subway with the words “I Felt Helpless” as the standout. We can also see the words, labeled from one to three, “SEVENTEEN,” “HELPLESS,” and “BLUE” on a sign in the subway, with “M12,” “1014,” and “1800” right beside them. If you’ve been here long, you know everything in a teaser is a clue, so we know most, if not all, of the words are important.
Soon after that, we got the teaser pictures where all 13 guys are basically floating or submerged under the water, and honestly, just from these first pics, we know they’re gonna eat up the concept. And now, onto the most important part. Drumroll, please! The upcoming mini-album will be called Spill The Feels. From that name alone, we know we will most definitely also be in our own feels. We also got the title track, which is called ‘Speak Up,’ its release date, which is 10.14.24, as well as the teaser, which you can watch below!
You can pre-order and pre-save the album here. We can also expect these songs to be performed at their upcoming U.S. Tour; you can get more info about that from our coverage here.
Carats, we all know when an album is around the corner, we should expect more news and announcements leading up to it. So keep your eyes peeled and ears open, and we’ll do the same!
How excited are you for Spill The Feels? Which SEVENTEEN news was your favorite? Let us know in the comments down below or over on Twitter @thehoneypop, and don’t forget to talk to us on Facebook and Instagram!
And if you want more SEVENTEEN content while waiting for Spill The Feels, we gotchu!
Carats (a.k.a. SEVENTEEN fans) had just celebrated the 8th Carat Land event a few days ago. Now, a 2024 world tour for SEVENTEEN has been announced. If you’re a Carat who has never been to a SEVENTEEN concert, start saving up because the boys might tour in your area.
Titled “Right Here” World Tour 2024, the 13-member boy group will be visiting Korea, Japan, the US, and other to-be-announced Asian countries this year in October.
Many fans were disappointed that the latest world tour is still limited in scope. Hopefully, in the future, more Carats will be able to watch SEVENTEEN live on stage.
We’re all waiting for tickets to go on sale, or even for the ticket sale date to be announced. We’ll have to wait for Ticketmaster to put the Right Here World Tour tickets up for sale on their website.
SEVENTEEN Right Here World Tour 2024
In 2022, SEVENTEEN had their “Be the Sun” World Tour. The group had visited similar territories in addition to having shows in Canada. For the 2024 World Tour, it’s unknown if SEVENTEEN will return to Canada.
But let’s look at the bright side. The Right Here World Tour will surely be memorable and nostalgic. We can anticipate SEVENTEEN to perform songs from their “17 is Right Here” compilation album. We might hear songs that the group debuted with, in addition to newer releases.
