SEVENTEEN is set to make a highly anticipated comeback with their 5th Studio Album HAPPY BURSTDAY on May 26. This marks their first full-length album in nearly three years since Face the Sun in 2022.

The news was officially announced today through a teaser video released across SEVENTEEN’s social media channels. The teaser opens with striking visuals: candles spelling out 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' flicker atop a cake. The flames then transform the message into HAPPY BURSTDAY, revealing the new album’s title. The video concludes with a roadmap of what lies ahead, teasing: “COMING SOON: NEW TOUR, NEW UNIT SINGLE ALBUM, NEW SEVENTEEN CONTENT… AND MORE TO COME.” The visuals have heightened fan excitement, promising an expansive lineup of activities throughout the year in celebration of their 10th anniversary.

HAPPY BURSTDAY blends the words “birthday” and “burst” to express the explosive energy of SEVENTEEN’s rebirth, capturing their desire to reinvent themselves and embrace a new era as a “new SEVENTEEN” beyond a decade. Its release on May 26, the group’s 10th debut anniversary, adds defining resonance to this pivotal moment.

Since their debut in 2015, SEVENTEEN’s journey through the global music scene has been one of steady and remarkable ascent. Earning unparalleled reputation for their self-produced artistry and dynamic stage presence, they have constantly achieved history-making milestones. Recently they headlined Tecate Pa’l Norte, one of the world’s largest festivals as the first K-pop act to appear.
