Spoiler Alert: This Album’s Bringing the Hype
SEVENTEEN’s dynamic duo S.COUPS and Mingyu are turning up the heat with their first unit mini album ‘HYPE VIBES’, and fans just got a generous taste. On June 22, the pair released a highlight medley through SEVENTEEN’s official social media, previewing all the songs—yes, all—before the album even drops.
From Roy Orbison to K-pop Disco Kings
The track that instantly grabbed attention? The funky, feel-good title track ‘5, 4, 3 (Pretty woman)’ featuring Lay Bankz. Inspired by Roy Orbison’s legendary hit Oh, Pretty Woman, this song reimagines the catchy melody with infectious disco beats and cheeky charm. It’s a track that’ll have you dancing in your car—and maybe swiping right on someone’s Instagram story.
Lyrics like “She’s on fire” and “So spicy” add a playful, straight-to-the-point vibe. The duo’s confident delivery oozes charm, while the highlight medley video brings the visuals—think rom-com energy with a twist. Picture S.COUPS heading out per a text and Mingyu nervously waiting for a reply… only to get ghosted with a “Maybe next time?” Classic K-drama setup with a wink, tbh.
Six Tracks, Endless Vibes
HYPE VIBES throws genre boundaries out the window. Here’s the breakdown:
- ‘Fiesta’: A bold hip-hop mix of deep bass, flute melodies, and quirky talkbox effects. The line “You can’t even capture my dance on your phone” screams swagger.
- ‘Worth it’: Synth-heavy and passion-packed, this slow burner celebrates that electric spark known only between two people.
- ‘For You’: Easy-listening pop with a heartwarming message—“Anyone can be friends with us.” Seriously, who’s not applying?
- ‘Young Again’: Rock out to this nostalgic take on youth, perfect for your quarter-life crisis playlist.
- ‘Earth’: Explosive EDM energy meets outer-space-level synths. Get ready to rave in your living room.
The whole medley, titled ‘HYPE VIBES FLOW’, plays out like a day-in-the-life montage: sunrise jogs, afternoon drives, water fights at sunset, and late-night parties. Basically, the duo packaged an entire summer into one mini album.
Undeniable Buzz Ahead of the Drop
The official release of ‘HYPE VIBES’ lands on June 29 at 6 PM KST. Expect more than just catchy hooks—S.COUPS and Mingyu co-wrote and co-composed every track. Talk about hands-on artistry. The title track’s challenge video? About to hit 100 million views in just four days. That’s not just hype—that’s domination.
