SEVENTEEN Returns with Milestone Album ‘HAPPY BURSTDAY’
K-pop sensation SEVENTEEN is set to make a powerful return on May 26 to mark their 10th anniversary with the release of their fifth studio album titled ‘HAPPY BURSTDAY.’ The title cleverly combines “birthday” and “burst,” symbolizing both celebration and transformation—a nod to a new era for the group.
A Decade of Global Success
Since their official debut on May 26, 2015, SEVENTEEN has become a global force in K-pop. Known for their boundless energy, fearless experimentation, and unmatched teamwork, the 13-member boy band has cultivated a loyal international fanbase called Carats. This latest album is both a celebration of their journey and a bold declaration of a new beginning.
Teasing the Comeback in True SEVENTEEN Style
Hints of the comeback first surfaced during their fan meeting in March, where the group surprised attendees with the phrase ‘2025. 05. 26. HAPPY BIRTHDAY’ lighting up the screen—a subtle but thrilling preview. They followed this with a teaser video featuring a cryptic, burnt invitation, sparking curiosity and excitement online.
More Than Just an Album
Alongside the regular album release, fans can look forward to new sub-unit singles and a variety of fresh digital content. According to Pledis Entertainment, “SEVENTEEN plans to connect with Carats worldwide not only through the fifth album, but also through a wide range of additional content.”
Global Engagement Continues in Japan
SEVENTEEN won’t be stopping at Korea. From April 24 to May 11, the group will host their ‘SEVENTEEN 2025 JAPAN FAN MEETING ‘HOLIDAY”, with events scheduled at Osaka’s Kyocera Dome and Saitama Super Arena. These gatherings will offer fans in Japan a taste of the group’s latest music and a chance to strengthen their bond with the idols.
Looking Ahead: A Gift for the Fans
The comeback with ‘HAPPY BURSTDAY’ promises more than just new music—it’s a heartfelt gift to fans who’ve supported them for a decade. With the excitement building, SEVENTEEN appears more ready than ever to continue shaping the future of K-pop. As they prepare to blow out the candles on their first decade, they also light the fuse for their next explosive chapter.
