Seventeen floats another teaser for 4th LP

Seventeen shared another trailer on Monday for its upcoming fourth studio album.

Junghan was the main character featured in the sixth video clip, which is part of the “13 Inner Shadows” series. In the teaser, he unlocks bird cages and sets the birds free, but lets go of the keys and locks himself up in a cage.

The LP “Face The Sun” will be fully unveiled on May 27. The band pre-dropped the single “Darl+ing” on April 15.

This weekend, the 13-member group will host a fan meet event called “Hanabi” in Saitama, Japan. All 60,000 tickets for the two-day event were sold out. The bandmates flew to Japan on Monday, getting ready to meet their fans in person in Japan for the first time in 2 1/2 years.

Victon to return by the end of May

Victon will come out with a new album by the end of this month, said agency IST Entertainment on Monday.

It has been only four months since it released its third single, “Chronograph.” The single ranked among the top 10 of the iTunes top songs chart in four regions.

The seven-piece act debuted in 2016, but it took three years before the band won its first trophy at a music chart program in 2019 with “Nostalgic Night,” the main track from its fifth EP “Nostalgia.” The EP came after a hiatus of 1 1/2 years, during which two members -- Han Seungwoo and Choi Byungchan -- participated in “Produce 101,” a survival audition show on the Korean music TV channel Mnet.

Han has been serving his mandatory Korean military service since July last year.
