SEVENTEEN's S.COUPS X MIN-GYU Drop 'HYPE VIBES' Official Photos, Showcasing "Perfect Chemistry"

SEVENTEEN's special unit, S.COUPS and MIN-GYU, have unveiled official photos for their upcoming 1st mini-album 'HYPE VIBES', highlighting their remarkable chemistry.

Pledis Entertainment released 16 individual cuts and 3 mood board images for the 'COMBI' version of the photos via SEVENTEEN's official SNS on the evening of the 9th. While the previously released 'BUDDY' version captured the members' daily lives, the 'COMBI' version depicts a stylish outing. Dressed in monochrome outfits, they are seen roaming city streets at night and enjoying a game of billiards, exuding a perfect synergy.

Shot in Hawaii, USA, alternating between day and night, the official photos are filled with a relaxed atmosphere, reminiscent of a summer vacation. Their poses against the vast coastal scenery under the blue sky add to their cool charm.

The mini-album 'HYPE VIBES' is set to be released on the 29th. The album title signifies a hot and free vibe where anyone can enjoy and connect, reflecting the duo's attitude of living in the moment with their own rhythm. Content revealing the album's mood, including the tracklist and title song reveal on the 12th, followed by a track sampler and highlight medley, will be unveiled sequentially. Two official music video teasers will be released on the 25th and 26th.

Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN will kick off their world tour 'SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_]' on the 13th and 14th at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium, continuing in Hong Kong, five North American cities, and four Japanese dome venues.

S.COUPS serves as the leader of SEVENTEEN and the leader of the hip-hop unit, demonstrating strong leadership and charisma. Min-gyu is known for his visuals and rap skills within the group, garnering significant fan affection. This special unit project is anticipated to showcase a new facet of their talents distinct from SEVENTEEN's group activities.
