Seventeen's new unit, DKXSC, has begun the countdown to their new release. HYBE Music Group's Pledis Entertainment posted the promotional scheduler for DKXSC's first mini-album, "Soya-gok," on Seventeen's official SNS at 10 PM on December 18. The scheduler includes images reminiscent of a snowy night scene, evoking a winter atmosphere.

DKXSC plans to release official photos in the "Soyeon (素戀)" and "Cheongheun (靑痕)" versions on December 22 and 23, respectively. These two version names are rare combinations of Chinese characters in K-pop albums, sparking curiosity among fans.

Promotions for the new release will continue into the new year. On January 2, 2026, a track sampler will be unveiled, followed by the tracklist announcement on January 5. On January 8, a highlight medley will be shared with fans. Alongside this, various contents hinting at cinematic storytelling will be provided.

"Soya-gok" means "a love song sung at night (Serenade)." DKXSC expresses various moments of love—such as boredom, discord, and new beginnings—through their music, creating an album that anyone can relate to. Recognized as Seventeen's main vocalists, they plan to solidify their presence as a "K-pop traditional vocal duo" through diverse activities based on their solid vocal skills and deep emotions.

This new release by DKXSC is highly anticipated among fans, and their musical growth is attracting attention in the K-pop market. The two artists are expected to showcase a new musical color through their unique personalities and harmony.

This promotional schedule increases fans' expectations for the new release and raises interest in DKXSC's musical journey. This project, featuring two members of Seventeen, will serve as an opportunity to further expand their musical capabilities.

DKXSC's "Soya-gok" is regarded as an important stepping stone to establish their musical identity and strengthen communication with fans. They will continue to open new horizons in K-pop through various activities.
