SEOUL, Oct. 14 (Yonhap) -- "We've ventured into a genre we haven't explored recently, so we are eager to show a new side of ourselves. Please look forward to us enjoying the stage." (Jun)

 

On the 14th, SEVENTEEN, through their agency Pledis Entertainment, introduced their new title track "LOVE, MONEY, FAME" from their twelfth mini album SPILL THE FEELS.

 

Joshua expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "The music is really great. It's an easy-listening track that people can enjoy effortlessly, and I believe it’s a song that everyone will like." Vernon added, "This title track feels a bit different from our previous ones. It's more relaxed, and I wanted to try capturing that mood through our performance."

 

SPILL THE FEELS marks SEVENTEEN's return to the music scene with a collection that embodies their signature positive energy and relatable themes, combined with a more polished sound. The album recorded pre-orders nearing 3.5 million copies.

 

S.Coups described the album’s intent: "We hope listeners can process and release a variety of emotions, moving toward a brighter future with a healthy mindset. That’s the message we wanted to convey through this work." Wonwoo added, "When discussing the concept for this album with the members, many keywords came up. The first one that stood out was 'comfort.' We wanted our fans, 'Carats,' to feel comforted and uplifted through this album."

 

Seungkwan characterized the new release as "new yet still SEVENTEEN." He noted that "LOVE, MONEY, FAME" offers a different atmosphere from their previous title "MAESTRO," emphasizing, "This represents a new challenge for us, and we hope to bring our unique energy to it."

"We want to show the vibrant, fun, and energetic side of SEVENTEEN to the fullest," said DK. "We'll do our best to make sure fans think, 'SEVENTEEN is still going strong.'" Dino highlighted the tour’s storytelling aspect: "Our last tour focused on grand performances, but this time, we've built a narrative for each chapter. I hope fans will pay attention to those stories."

 

"To all our 'Carats,' we'll always be cheering you on, wherever you are. Thank you for your constant support and love," concluded Jeonghan.
