K-pop boy band Seventeen members S.Coups and Mingyu will make their debut as a new unit under the name CxM. 

CxM will release their first mini-album “Hype Vibes” on Sept. 29. 

For the album, a trailer filmed in Los Angeles was released, capturing S.Coups and Mingyu living freely in the moments of their daily lives.

Waking up disheveled after a vibrant night out, they move through their day with small yet lively moments, their natural cool blending with the city’s upbeat atmosphere. When the video closes at a beach party, the duo’s infectious energy radiates through a diverse crowd, embodying their free-spirited vibe and genuine connection with others.

The video also introduces their animated characters—Kuute and Mante—playfully imagined as alien beings who journeyed to Earth to recharge through music, adding a fun and enjoyable dimension to their unfolding musical narrative.

“Hype Vibes” welcomes everyone to join their vibe and connect with one another. Originally planned as a single album, the unit expanded it into a mini album to offer a richer spectrum of music that celebrates each colorful moment of everyday life.

S.Coups and Mingyu have showcased their musical range through a wide variety of releases including the group’s discography, hip-hop unit projects, SVT Leaders (S.Coups, Hoshi, Woozi), and Wonwoo X Mingyu. 

Meanwhile, Seventeen will launch their new world tour “New_” this month in South Korea before heading to the US with stops in Tacoma, Washington (Oct. 11), Los Angeles, California (Oct. 16 and 17), Austin, Texas (Oct. 21 and 22), Sunrise, Florida (Oct. 26 and 27), and Washington, DC (Oct. 30). 

Seventeen bagged nomination of Best Group at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, a category they won last year.

Pre-orders for “Hype Vibes” will start at 11 a.m. KST on Sept. 3 with more information available on Weverse.
