Seventeen announces new unit featuring DK, Seungkwan
K-pop group Seventeen announced a new unit featuring members DK and Seungkwan, to be known as DxS (Seventeen).
DxS (Seventeen) will launch their first mini-album “Serenade” on Jan. 12, a gift for fans in the new year.
DxS unveiled a trailer titled “An Ordinary Love” through HYBE Labels’ official YouTube channel, presenting a cinematic narrative of lovers on different paths in life that mirrors the album’s emotional arc, heightening anticipation for the upcoming release.
The trailer opens with DK unable to hang up an unanswered phone call, capturing a moment suspended between longing and hesitation.
Scenes that follow depict DK and his loved one existing in the same space yet feeling worlds apart. Symbolic objects—such as wilted plants and dried fruit—hint at a relationship nearing its end. DK’s monotonous daily rhythm soon shifts when an unexpected encounter introduces new tension and a turning point in the story.
Seungkwan appears as a clerk at a comic book café, a character who recalls a past love when he sees a customer’s book. A brief smile flickers across his face as he revisits the warmth of the memory, only for the moment to break when he accidentally drops a comic while rushing to hand over the books. The title of the fallen book, “Blue,” flashes across the scene, adding intrigue to the unfolding narrative.
Serenade, meaning “a love song sung at night,” captures every moment between meeting and parting through DK and Seungkwan’s emotional storytelling.
Filled up with the sentimentality of winter, the album portrays relatable moments of ordinary love, promising deep emotional resonance for listeners.
