K-pop stage-breakers Seventeen are back with their 10th mini album Fml today. The album arrives on the heels of the historic news that pre-orders for the new release surpassed 4.64M, the largest number of pre-orders ever in the history of K-pop.

K-pop group Seventeen have shared their latest mini-album, titled Fml. The six-track project includes two lead singles alongside unit tracks from the hip-hop team, performance team, and vocal unit of the band. Stream the album below.
The double singles, titled “F*ck My Life” and “Super,” show different sides of the thirteen-member group — “F*ck My Life” flips the acronym Fml around to encourage listeners to “fight for their lives.” “Super,” meanwhile, is an explosive, high-energy group track that is accompanied by the group’s trademark synchronization in choreography. Of the contrasting lead singles, band leader S.Coups shares, “Our new album contains both the music we want to present and the messages we want to convey.”
Notably, Fml exceeded 4.64 million pre-orders, which makes it the most pre-ordered album in K-pop history. This project is the band’s follow-up to 2022’s Face the Sun, the act’s fourth full-length album...

Following the news of their forthcoming mini album Fml receiving over 4M pre-orders, K-pop stage-breakers Seventeen unveiled a trailer for the mini album ahead of its arrival at 5 Am Et/6 Pm Kst on April 24. Reminiscent of a trailer for a feature film, the video opens as the voice-over narration asks, “How do you define the world that surrounds you?”
The short clip captures members of Seventeen at the center of disorder, placed in the midst of broken cars, messy rooms, dull offices, packed buses, and groups of menacing chasers. Rather than being set back by distress, however, the members soon start to get on their feet and take off, as the narration in the background suggests to them, “Fight for your life.”
The K-pop supergroup also dropped a series of concept photos this week, while the tracklist released earlier this month revealed that there will be 6 tracks to the mini album.

Vernon, a member of the K-pop powerhouse act Seventeen, released his first solo mixtape “Black Eye” today. A pop punk song delivered in a tone of raw openness to the backdrop of a rhythmic and airy instrumental, “Black Eye” tells the story of an adolescent trying to cope with the constantly changing world around him. The accompanying music video visually amplifies the sense of loneliness, rebelliousness and self-doubt one experiences in the course of growth, reminiscent of footage captured with a hand-held camcorder.
Vernon is the third member of the 13-piece act to release a mixtape as a part of their ‘The Thirteen Tapes’ series, following Hoshi’s “Spider” in April 2021 and Woozi’s “Ruby” in January 2022.
While being a member of Seventeen’s Hip-hop unit, Vernon also continues to venture outside of the group, shedding light to his flair as a solo artist. He collaborated with Charli Xcx for...

To spot a member of Korean pop group Seventeen, you just need to look at their pinky. All 13 members wear a distinct ring on their little finger. Though it doesn’t carry the promise of the Jonas Brothers’ sort, it does symbolize a promise of unity, and an assurance to fans that they always have them in mind. The group was first gifted these rings when they made their 2015 debut, and have gotten new versions ahead of every full-length release since. Now, they wear the tradition’s fifth iteration — silver...
