The group Seventeen (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino) is offering a new fan experience through an immersive listening session, where fans can preview some parts of their new song's audio.
Seventeen has been holding a listening session to celebrate the release of their 5th studio album 'HAPPY BURSTDAY' since the 17th at Listening With Friends in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Tickets sold out just 7 minutes after reservations opened on the 10th, demonstrating high interest in the new release.
The listening session is a unique format that combines a highlight medley audio experience with an exhibition. Visitors can clearly enjoy the solo songs of all members while wearing headsets. The 'NEW BURSTDAY' version concept film playing on the screen enhances the immersive experience.
In the group song listening area, visitors can listen to high-quality highlight audio of the title track 'THUNDER' along with 'HBD' and 'Bad Influence (Prod. by Pharrell Williams)'. The sound effects, which are maximized for spaciousness, and the cake-shaped projection mapping, which is styled according to the mood of the songs, provide a sensory experience for the audience.
Additionally, concept photos from the new release are displayed on the walls and ceiling, and props shaped like cakes and candles create a party atmosphere. The process of Seventeen's voluntary disappearance and self-reconstruction, and their explosive rebirth through this, has also been visually implemented.
Fans who visited the venue have been giving positive feedback. Responses included, "I once again realized the difference in sound felt in a professional space," "It was filled with the colors of Seventeen, making it enjoyable to explore," "The energy of the music felt definitely different," and "Hearing Seventeen's songs on a good sound system made them resonate more deeply in my ears."
The previously released highlight medley video drew a lot of attention for its unique format. The video harmonized a 360-degree VR viewing format with immersive 8D audio, capturing the eyes and ears of viewers simultaneously.
Seventeen has infused a variety of challenges into their upcoming 5th studio album 'HAPPY BURSTDAY', to be released on the 26th. It features solo songs from all members for the first time in the team's album history, comprising a total of 16 tracks, marking an unprecedented scale. Additionally, renowned producers and artists such as Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, Pdogg, VINCENZO, EL CAPITXN, and Ha Hyun-sang have participated in the songwriting and composition, generating anticipation.
