SEVENTEEN’s S.COUPS and MINGYU are set to make their unit debut as CxM (SEVENTEEN) with the release of their 1st Mini Album HYPE VIBES on September 29.
A trailer filmed in Los Angeles dropped today, providing a first glimpse into the highly anticipated album capturing S.COUPS and MINGYU living freely in the moments of their daily lives. Waking up dishevelled after a vibrant night out, the duo moves through their day with small yet lively moments, their natural cool blending with the city’s upbeat atmosphere. When the video closes at a beach party, the duo’s infectious energy radiates through a diverse crowd, embodying their free-spirited vibe and genuine connection with others.
The trailer also introduces their animated characters—Kuute and Mante—playfully imagined as alien beings who journeyed to Earth to recharge through music, adding a fun and enjoyable dimension to their unfolding musical narrative.
HYPE VIBES, representing CxM’s ethos of fully embracing the present in their own rhythm, welcomes everyone to join their vibe and connect with one another. Originally planned as a single album, the unit expanded it into a mini album to offer a richer spectrum of music that celebrates each colorful moment of everyday life.
Known for their leadership and effortless charisma, S.COUPS and MINGYU have showcased their musical range through a wide variety of releases including the group’s discography, hip-hop unit projects, SVT LEADERS (S.COUPS, HOSHI, WOOZI), and WONWOO X MINGYU. Their influence extends beyond music, with ambassadorships and collaborations in fashion and beauty, further heightening anticipation for what lies ahead for this high-profile duo.
While the unit embarks on a new trail with the upcoming album, SEVENTEEN is also gearing up for their new world tour ‘SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_],’ kicking off in Korea this month before heading to the U.S. with stops in Tacoma, WA (October 11), Los Angeles, CA (October 16 & 17), Austin, TX (October 21 & 22), Sunrise, FL (October 26 & 27), and Washington, DC (October 30). The group also celebrates their second consecutive nomination for ‘Best Group’ at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, a category they won last year.
Pre-orders for HYPE VIBES begin at 7 PM PT / 10 PM ET on September 2 (11 AM KST on September 3) with more information available on Weverse.
About SEVENTEEN
SEVENTEEN comprised of S.COUPS, JEONGHAN, JOSHUA, JUN, HOSHI, WONWOO, WOOZI, THE 8, MINGYU, DK, SEUNGKWAN, VERNON and DINO have rocketed to the forefront of the music scene fuelled by a fiercely independent spirit and a nonpareil in-house creative ecosystem. The 13-piece act’s innovative structure hinges on the interplay of three units: hip-hop, vocal, and performance. Holding the titles for the two best-selling K-pop releases of all time, FML (Apr 2023) and SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN (Oct 2023), SEVENTEEN went on to solidify their global presence as FML (with more than 6.4 million copies sold) became the IFPI-certified top-selling album worldwide in 2023. They soared to new heights in 2024, making history as the first K-pop act to perform at Glastonbury and headline Lollapalooza Berlin, while also becoming UNESCO's first-ever Goodwill Ambassador for Youth. Crowned ‘Best Group’ at the 2024 VMAs and ‘Top K-pop Touring Artist’ at the 2024 BBMAs, SEVENTEEN became the highest-ranking K-pop act on IFPI Global Artist Chart 2024, propelled by the success of their 12th Mini Album SPILL THE FEELS. Celebrating their 10th anniversary this year, the K-pop icon have blazed a new trail of reinvention with their 5th Studio Album HAPPY BURSTDAY, which debuted at No.2 on the Billboard 200, tying their highest record. The group’s touring success has been equally remarkable, ranking No. 1 among K-pop acts and No. 3 overall on Billboard’s 2025 midyear Boxscore charts.
