K-pop icon SEVENTEEN will return with their highly anticipated 12th Mini Album SPILL THE FEELS on October 14.
Today, SEVENTEEN revealed the mysterious title of the upcoming album through a short teaser clip featuring an anagram where the phrase ‘I FELT HELPLESS’ transforms into ‘SPILL THE FEELS,’ hinting at an emotional and introspective theme of overcoming helplessness by embracing vulnerability and spilling out honest feelings. This signals another album that continues SEVENTEEN’s long-standing mission of spreading positivity and hope through their music.
Prior to the title reveal, the teaser revealed on September 13 sparked numerous speculations among fans after a scene set in a dark, eerie subway station ended with the scrambled letters of ‘I FELT HELPLESS’ displayed on a billboard, leaving the meaning shrouded in mystery.
The K-pop icon also dropped a series of concept photos between the teasers, capturing the members submerged in water with their eyes closed, evoking a sense of helplessness and loneliness. Other photos show the members gazing into the camera, their faces conveying deep, meaningful expressions that exude a sense of tranquillity.
The announcement of their 12th Mini Album follows the group’s history-making performance as the first K-pop headliner at Lollapalooza Berlin. SEVENTEEN will soon hit the stage again with their 'RIGHT HERE' world tour, kicking off on October 12 in Korea, and continuing through the U.S., Japan, and across Asia.
Pre-order for SPILL THE FEELS began on September 13, with the official release scheduled for October 14 at 6 PM KST. More information about pre-orders is available on Weverse.
