SEVENTEEN’s JEONGHAN and WONWOO are coming together to release their first-ever single album THIS MAN, slated to debut on June 17 at 6 PM KST (5 AM ET).
A cryptic logo trailer revealing the two members of the unit was unveiled on May 19, followed by a futuristic teaser trailer titled ‘The City.’ Set in a bustling metropolitan area at nighttime, the trailer shows lightning striking the city and causing a momentary blackout. A multitude of flyers then shower the screen, confirming that the album will drop on June 17.
Widely recognized as the creative powerhouse of K-pop, SEVENTEEN has consistently reaffirmed their musical diversity through clever interplay of units among the 13 members. Aside from the original Hip-hop, Vocal, and Performance Units, various combinations have come forth with colorful music unique to their own colors, including WONWOO and MINGYU’s single “Bittersweet (feat. LeeHi),” SVT LEADERS’ track “CHEERS,” and most recently, BBS’ Single Album SECOND WIND.
The announcement of JEONGHAN and WONWOO’s first single album further heightens excitement, with its release scheduled shortly before SEVENTEEN’s highly anticipated performance at Glastonbury Festival’s Pyramid Stage. The new unit’s album will follow SEVENTEEN’s Best Album 17 IS RIGHT HERE dropped on April 29, which recorded sales of 3.18 million copies despite being a compilation album.
Pre-order for THIS MAN began on May 20 and more information about pre-orders is available on Weverse.
