Seventeen's new special unit S.Coups X Mingyu is gaining attention with the release of their new album. Pledis Entertainment revealed 16 individual cuts of the official photo "COMBI" version and 3 mood board images for S.Coups X Mingyu's first mini album "HYPE VIBES" on September 9.

While the previously released "BUDDY" version simply portrayed the daily lives of S.Coups and Mingyu, the new "COMBI" version emphasizes the two's stylish outing. Dressed in monotone outfits, they roam the night streets and enjoy their time at a billiards hall, showing perfect chemistry as a duo.

The official photos were taken in Hawaii, USA, capturing a relaxed atmosphere transitioning between day and night. The scenes of the two catching their breath under the blue sky and enjoying the vast coastal road scenery evoke a summer vacation vibe. S.Coups and Mingyu sitting on an open car highlight their cool charm.

S.Coups X Mingyu will release their first mini album "HYPE VIBES" on the 29th. The album title represents a hot and free atmosphere where anyone can enjoy and connect together. The two expressed an attitude of living in the present with their own rhythm without fixed boundaries in the album.

Ahead of the album release, the tracklist and title song will be revealed on the 12th. Then, a track sampler will be released on the 16th, followed by a highlight medley on the 22nd. Two types of official music video teasers will be unveiled on the 25th and 26th.

Seventeen's group activities will continue as well. They will hold the first performances of the "SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_]" at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on the 13th and 14th. Afterwards, they will continue with concerts at Hong Kong Kai Tak Stadium on the 27th and 28th, followed by a tour in five North American cities in October and four major domes in Japan in November and December.

This album and tour are highly anticipated by Seventeen's global fans. The combination of S.Coups X Mingyu is expected to offer fans a new charm. Through this activity, Seventeen plans to showcase a more diverse musical color.
