HOSHI and WOOZI are set to make their highly anticipated unit debut with the release of their first-ever Single Album BEAM on March 10 at 6 PM KST.
A captivating logo trailer announcing the album title, BEAM, was revealed today, followed by a powerful concept teaser indicating the emergence of a strong unit. Set in a black-and-white palette, the teaser uses flickering light and shadow to reveal snippets of the album's imagery in a mysterious and sensual setting. Towards the end, numerous papers are displayed being printed with distinctively designed logos and the official release date, creating a lasting impression.
BEAM represents the light emanating from HOSHI and WOOZI, with the duo artistically using ‘light’ as a metaphor to reflect their self-love and originality, shaped by their shared journey from their trainee days to SEVENTEEN’s ascent to global stardom.
The pairing of HOSHI and WOOZI carries a profound significance as SEVENTEEN’s ‘mastermind duo,’ with HOSHI leading the performance unit, and WOOZI serving as the vocal unit’s leader and the band’s main producer. They are coming back together with an official unit debut, 8 years after they showcased their chemistry through “Bring It,” a B-side track on SEVENTEEN’s 2nd Studio Album TEEN, AGE.
Widely recognised with their diverse interplay of units among the 13 members, SEVENTEEN has consistently expanded their musical spectrum. Since their launch in 2018, BSS have released massive hits such as “Fighting (Feat. Lee Young Ji),” continuing on their eye-catching career with their recent comeback album, TELEPARTY. JEONGHAN and WONWOO also came together as a unit for their 1st Single Album, THIS MAN, last year, recording the highest first-week album sales in the history of K-pop units. Following suit, HOSHI and WOOZI are raising excitement for the unique sound the new unit will add to SEVENTEEN’s ever-evolving discography.
Pre-orders for BEAM begin on February 19 at 11 AM KST with more information available on Weverse.
About SEVENTEEN
SEVENTEEN comprised of S.COUPS, JEONGHAN, JOSHUA, JUN, HOSHI, WONWOO, WOOZI, THE 8, MINGYU, DK, SEUNGKWAN, VERNON and DINO have rocketed to the forefront of the music scene fuelled by a fiercely independent spirit and a nonpareil in-house creative ecosystem. The 13-piece act’s innovative structure hinges on the interplay of three units: hip-hop, vocal, and performance. Since their debut in May 2015, SEVENTEEN’s journey has been a continuous ascent towards solidifying their position as ‘K-pop icon.’ Last year, they placed two albums at No.2 on the Billboard 200, topped the Billboard Artist 100, and earned the title for the best-selling album worldwide (10th Mini Album FML with more than 6.4 million copies sold) by IFPI. 2024 saw the group soar to new heights in global presence, as they made history as the first K-pop act to perform at Glastonbury and headline Lollapalooza Berlin, while also becoming UNESCO's first-ever Goodwill Ambassador for Youth. Further recognized with the ‘Best Group’ win at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, SEVENTEEN scored their 10th No.1 album on the Billboard World Albums chart with their recent 12th Mini Album SPILL THE FEELS.
