K-pop boy band SEVENTEEN dropped their 12th mini album Spill the Feels today, opening doors to a wider audience with deepened honesty and authenticity instilled in every track. Spill the Feels is an anagram of ‘I Felt Helpless’ which is reflective of the 13-member band’s transformative journey.
Ahead of its official release, the mini album recorded over 3.4 million copies in pre-orders, adding to the group’s total album sales of 5.32 million in just the first half of the year.
This continues SEVENTEEN’s record-breaking streak after extraordinary accolades such as being recognized with the ‘Biggest-selling global album in 2023’ by IFPI and having the two best-selling albums in K-pop history.
The release’s lead single “LOVE, MONEY, FAME (feat. DJ Khaled)” is an R&B/Hip-hop track layered with groovy melodies. The song explores the universal theme of ‘love’ in juxtaposition with ‘money’ and ‘fame’, values juggled in modern life. The accompanying music video follows each member’s unique perspective and storyline to confront the profound emotion of love, which ultimately converges on the shared realization that the essence of love lies in honest expression. The mini album comprises a total of 6 songs.
Meanwhile, the band’s SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR kicked off on October 12 with two sold-out shows at Goyang Stadium in Korea and will see them make their way to 13 cities across the U.S., Japan and Asia, starting later this month through to next year.
