SEVENTEEN members S.Coups and Mingyu color the stage with their characteristic free-spirited energy.
S.Coups and Mingyu will kick off the glamorous CxM [DOUBLE UP] LIVE PARTY at Incheon Inspire Arena for three days from today (23rd) to the 25th. Tickets sold out on the day FC membership pre-sale opened. All three shows will be accompanied by online live streaming so fans who cannot attend in person can feel the excitement.
A variety of attractions have been prepared to maximize viewers' immersion. Even the seating arrangement is unusual. S.Coups and Mingyu will install an island stage situated like a small island within the audience to interact more passionately with spectators. LEDs placed around the stage and productions using lifts add splendor and dynamism to the duo's performances.
Attention is also focused on the intense energy the two members will unleash. When S.Coups and Mingyu released their first mini album, they captivated global fans with an unadorned freedom in their performance of the title track 5, 4, 3 (Pretty woman) (feat. Lay Bankz). Their solo songs showcased during SEVENTEEN's world tour — Jungle (S.COUPS Solo) and Shake It Off (MINGYU Solo) — also highlighted more mature musical capabilities.
CxM [DOUBLE UP] LIVE PARTY will continue from Incheon to major domestic and international cities. S.Coups and Mingyu will perform at Aichi IG Arena on the 31st and Feb. 1, Makuhari Messe in Chiba on Feb. 5–6, Busan Exhibition & Convention Center (BEXCO) on Feb. 13–14, and Kaohsiung Arena on April 25–26.
S.Coups and Mingyu boast a distinctive presence as an "iconic duo" encompassing music, performance and fashion. Their first mini album HYPE VIBES surpassed 880,000 in first-week sales (album sales in the week immediately after release), breaking the record for the highest sales by a K-pop unit album, and entered the Billboard 200 at the highest rank ever achieved by a K-pop unit.
They are also in the spotlight in the global fashion world. S.Coups, who serves as a global ambassador for BOSS, drew attention last year when he appeared at the Met Gala (The Costume Institute Benefit), the world's largest fashion charity fundraising event. Mingyu recently shone as an ambassador for Dior by attending Paris Fashion Week in France for a third consecutive year.
