SEVENTEEN's special unit, S.COUPS and MINGYU, has unveiled a new music video teaser for their upcoming mini-album 'HYPE VIBES', building anticipation for their debut as an 'iconic duo'. The title track, ‘5, 4, 3 (Pretty woman) (feat. Lay Bankz)’, is generating buzz with its captivating visuals and catchy sound.

The teaser features a surprise appearance by American Gen Z hip-hop artist Lay Bankz, who not only delivered a memorable rap verse but also intrigued fans by uttering the Korean lyric "Yeppeo" (pretty). Shot in the iconic Long Beach area of Los Angeles, the music video showcases dynamic choreography amidst a backdrop of numerous 'pretty women', blending exotic scenery with a cool, free-spirited vibe. The harmonious depiction of diverse individuals enjoying music together draws viewers into the present moment with S.COUPS and MINGYU.

‘5, 4, 3 (Pretty woman) (feat. Lay Bankz)’ is described as a track that expresses candid feelings of attraction, interpolating the classic hit 'Oh, Pretty Woman' by Roy Orbison into the duo's unique style. Prior to this, a challenge video for the title track amassed over 100 million views in just four days, underscoring the immense public interest in this new unit.

Beyond their music, S.COUPS and MINGYU are actively engaging in various projects. Their appearance on the web variety show 'Salon Drip 2' is rapidly gaining views, approaching the one million mark. Furthermore, their cover photoshoot for the 20th-anniversary issue of global fashion magazine 'HYPEBEAST' has been met with positive reception. The duo is set to release their new album on the 29th and will perform the title track for the first time on Mnet's 'M Countdown' on July 2nd.

S.COUPS, the leader of SEVENTEEN, and MINGYU, known for his striking visuals, form a powerful duo. This special unit project allows them to explore musical territories distinct from their group's signature sound. Their ventures into web entertainment and high-fashion spreads highlight their versatile appeal and growing global influence.
