SEVENTEEN's S.COUPS x MINGYU Dazzle with Contrasting Charms on Music Shows

SEVENTEEN's special unit, S.COUPS and MINGYU, are setting the music show stages ablaze with their opposing yet captivating charms.

The duo appeared on the June 2nd broadcast of Mnet's 'M Countdown' to unveil their first mini-album 'HYPE VIBES'. They performed the title track '5, 4, 3 (Pretty woman) (feat. Lay Bankz)' and the B-side 'Worth it' for the first time, igniting fervent responses from fans.

On the '5, 4, 3 (Pretty woman)' stage, S.COUPS and MINGYU showcased their signature cool and free-spirited energy. Moving in sync with the upbeat disco rhythm, they presented a unique synergy. Their superb live vocals, groovy rap, and hip performances stood out. American Gen Z rapper Lay Bankz, who featured on the track, made a surprise appearance, adding to the song's perfection with her powerful rap.

In stark contrast, the 'Worth it' performance was filled with the members' mesmerizing charisma. Dressed in 'all-black' outfits, S.COUPS and MINGYU exuded mature masculinity, prompting fervent sing-alongs from fans. The use of lifts in their choreography amplified the grand atmosphere, deeply immersing the audience.

The album 'HYPE VIBES' continues to dominate both domestic and international music charts. Within four days of its release, it surpassed 840,000 cumulative sales, topping the Hanteo Chart's daily physical album chart. It also broke the record for the highest first-week sales for a K-pop unit album. Furthermore, the album secured the number one spot on Japan's Oricon Daily Album Ranking for two consecutive days and topped QQ Music's 'Digital Best-Selling Albums' EP section in China for four days straight.

The duo is scheduled to perform their new songs on MBC's 'Show! Music Core' on June 4th. Additionally, for the Chuseok holiday, SEVENTEEN's official YouTube channel will be live-streaming past concert performances starting at 6 PM on the 7th.

Netizens are praising the unit's versatility, commenting, "Their concept-switching ability is insane," "Both songs have such different vibes, but they absolutely nailed them," and "I got goosebumps watching their stage performances."
