SEVENTEEN’s honest and simple story of youth, Mini 7th Album [Henggarae]! SEVENTEEN participated in songwriting and composing! SEVENTEEN releases Mini 7th Album [Henggarae]! An explosion of passionate energy… Title track ‘Left & Right’! The group SEVENTEEN will release their Mini 7th Album [Henggarae] after approximately 9 months. SEVENTEEN's latest album [Henggarae] captures a powerful energy to move forward together into a new world with ‘dreams,’ breaking away from the emotion of ‘fear’ encountered in their 3rd full-length album [An Ode], and is an album that delivers a message of support to the youth challenging themselves toward their dreams. ‘Henggarae’ is a pure Korean word describing the action of several people tossing one person high up into the air and catching them. It wittily expresses the will to rise up by their own strength—comparing it to a ‘henggarae’—if one cannot find an answer amidst the countless worries and confusion of youth, a time when one is lost on which direction to take. It would be no exaggeration to say that SEVENTEEN's albums are a history of their growth, as they have consistently presented various variations based on their thoughts and appearances at the time since their debut in 2015. Through this, they established the one-and-only brand called ‘SEVENTEEN,’ eventually becoming artists who receive hot spotlights worldwide, easily recording first-week sales of 700,000 copies. Behind the global artist was always an album containing their own unique stories. Accordingly, for this Mini 7th Album, the members, led by WOOZI, immersed themselves in the overall album production and participated in songwriting and composing. In particular, Vernon and S.COUPS increased their involvement to melt in an honest and simple story of youth that everyone can relate to, creating a solid and high-quality album. Furthermore, through this album, rather than expressing the pain of youth standing at a crossroads and worrying, SEVENTEEN intends to reach out first with their own unique ideas to support them, permeating them with passionate energy and showcasing a cheerful, popping, and different kind of charm. The title track ‘Left & Right’ from [Henggarae], a healing album for youth captured in SEVENTEEN's own colors, is a song that reimagines the hip-hop genre of the 2000s with a 2020 sound. It delivers powerful energy, shouting a positive message of support—"Let's move forward vigorously without fear"—to those who feel there is no exit to the left or the right. Additionally, the opening track of this album, ‘Fearless,’ perfectly continues the narrative from the previous work by depicting a version of SEVENTEEN that has broken free from the fear of ‘Fear’ from the previous album [An Ode]. In addition, the album completes a SEVENTEEN-style youth tracklist with a total of 6 songs: ‘Good to Me,’ which expresses emotions that were the only ones not ‘green’ (blooming) during a spring when everything else was green; ‘My My,’ which contains SEVENTEEN's autobiographical story and was pre-released through the trailer; ‘Kidult,’ which crafted comfort for youth into pure lyrics; and ‘Together,’ which beautifully carves the meaning of being together. By capturing the various emotions and perspectives that can only be felt during youth in their Mini 7th Album [Henggarae], SEVENTEEN will deliver a deep resonance to many listeners, cheering them on by saying that our youth, running toward dreams and goals, is still ongoing and that we can move forward vigorously because we are together. 1. Fearless Composed by WOOZI, BUMZU, Simon Petrén / Lyrics by WOOZI, BUMZU, Vernon / Arranged by BUMZU, Simon Petrén A Soul genre piece led by intense drum and guitar sounds, perfectly depicting SEVENTEEN's image of breaking free from fear. This expresses my time of "youth," which I could not fully comprehend while trapped in fear, and signals the start of this album with a fearless and challenging spirit. 2. Left & Right *TITLE Composed by WOOZI, BUMZU / Lyrics by WOOZI, BUMZU, Vernon / Arranged by BUMZU Designed with the 2000s hip-hop genre and reborn with a 2020s sound, "Left & Right" is a song that captures the image of youth taking on challenges, allowing listeners to feel SEVENTEEN's positive energy. It features SEVENTEEN's special encouragement to the youth who are struggling to run every day, telling them that "not running is also a way" and that "we are not alone." 3. Good to Me (좋겠다) Composed by WOOZI, BUMZU, Hwang Hyun (MonoTree) / Lyrics by WOOZI, BUMZU, Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), Wonwoo / Arranged by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree) A medium ballad where soft brass sounds and the members' vocals blend harmoniously, "Good to Me" puts into lyrics the emotions of the narrator who was the only one unable to be "green" during the lush spring. It express envy toward someone who achieved the love the narrator could not, sensually melting in the perspective of contrasting emotions. Additionally, the warmth of the analog synth and the three-dimensional chord progression within the medium tempo support the melody and lead the emotional line of the song. 4. My My Composed by WOOZI, BUMZU, Vernon / Lyrics by WOOZI, BUMZU, Vernon, S.COUPS / Arranged by BUMZU, WOOZI, Park Ki-tae (PRISMFILTER) A song featuring trendy synth sounds based on the Moombathon genre, it contains an autobiographical story about the "journey toward a dream." With the independent message that "the start of my journey is me," it is an energetic cheering song that provides comfort to the youth embarking on a journey where the answers are unknown. 5. Adult Child (어른 아이) Composed by WOOZI, S.COUPS, BUMZU, Park Ki-tae (PRISMFILTER) / Lyrics by S.COUPS, WOOZI, BUMZU, Vernon / Arranged by Park Ki-tae (PRISMFILTER) A medium-tempo track with an impressive escalating sound progression, "Adult Child" is a song where delicate vocal expressions stand out. It contains a message of deep comfort from SEVENTEEN to the "adult children" living in this era who want to cry like a child when things are hard, but have no choice but to smile on the outside. 6. Together (같이 가요) Composed by WOOZI, BUMZU, Park Ki-tae (PRISMFILTER) / Lyrics by WOOZI, BUMZU, S.COUPS, Hoshi, Mingyu / Arranged by BUMZU, Park Ki-tae (PRISMFILTER), Nmore (PRISMFILTER) A song where impactful string sounds and intense rock-based sounds blend harmoniously, it beautifully carves the meaning of being together through the direct and impactful lyrics "Let's go together" for the youth living day by day when things don't go as planned, expressing SEVENTEEN's own "praise of youth."
