A short teaser clip played at the end of the show featured the three units – hip-hop, performance, and vocal – in distinct aesthetics and revealed the title of the highly anticipated album.
Meanwhile, an animated teaser created in collaboration with illustrator Max Dalton, widely known for his work in the film “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” was also released shortly after.
A collection of colorful scenes depicting each of Seventeen’s past releases, the teaser offered a first peek into how “17 Is Right Here” is a proud representation of Seventeen’s past, present, and future.
According to the tracklist (hidden ver.) released on April 2, the two-CD album will be composed of the K-pop boy band's beloved tracks and commemorate their accomplishments.
The partial yet extensive list includes Korean versions of eight Japanese lead singles as well as 20 lead singles from previous Korean releases with smash hits like “Very Nice,” “Don’t Wanna Cry,” and “Super.”
The announcement for the best album follows the 13-piece act’s remarkable rise, ending 2023 with over 16 million album sales and taking home the title of best-selling album in the world with the 10th mini-album “FML” released in April 2023.
The IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) announced in February that Seventeen’s “FML” became the biggest-selling Global Album of the Year for 2023.
Seventeen also took the No. 1 spot on the IFPI Global Album Sales Chart.
Seventeen will perform at Glastonbury Festival and Lollapalooza Berlin in the coming months.
