SEVENTEEN Duo Drops Spoiler Alert Ahead of Mini Album
When SEVENTEEN’s S.Coups and Mingyu tease something, the internet listens. On June 19, the duo released a surprise dance challenge video for their upcoming title track ‘5, 4, 3 (Pretty woman)’ featuring Z-gen rapper Lay Bankz—igniting a frenzy across social media.
A Retro Remix with a Modern Twist
The song borrows the iconic melody of Roy Orbison’s classic ‘Oh, Pretty Woman’—yes, the one from the Julia Roberts rom-com—and layers it with vibrant disco beats and glossy production. Add in Lay Bankz’s cool rap verse and the duo’s sleek vocals, and you’ve got a recipe for global appeal.
This isn’t just a throwback—it’s a reinvention. The interpolation pays homage to the original while giving it a K-pop glow-up that feels both nostalgic and now.
Choreo with Charm (and a Fan Move)
The choreography is just as playful. In the clip, S.Coups and Mingyu groove with effortless rhythm and cheeky charisma. One standout move? A whimsical fanning gesture that mirrors the lyric “She on fire.” It’s already TikTok bait—and fans are biting.
10 Million Views and Counting
In just over 13 hours, the video racked up more than 10 million views. Fans couldn’t get enough, calling it “addictive,” “adorably chic,” and proof that the group’s hip-hop unit has “unexpected charm.” One netizen even dubbed them the “hot guy unit.” Accurate.
Unit Debut Album ‘HYPE VIBES’ Drops June 29
The full mini album, titled ‘HYPE VIBES’, lands on June 29 and features tracks entirely co-written and composed by the duo. The theme? Bold freedom and music that brings people together. Says Mingyu: “We wanted every track to feel like a celebration.”
And for super fans in Seoul, a release pop-up is happening at Yongsan’s I’Park Mall from June 30 to October 5. Expect exclusive merch, photo ops, and maybe a surprise guest (fingers crossed).
The Vibe? Hype Looks Good on Them
Between the addictive beat, sharp moves, and undeniable chemistry, it’s clear: S.Coups and Mingyu are not just dabbling in sub-unit territory; they’re ready to dominate it.
Will ‘5, 4, 3 (Pretty woman)’ become the next viral K-pop challenge? Judging by the early buzz, it’s already halfway there.
