DK and Seungkwan of SEVENTEEN have made their unit debut with a broader musical spectrum. DK and Seungkwan released all tracks of their 1st mini-album "Serenade" and the music video for the title track "Blue" today (12th) at 6 PM through various music streaming sites. The title track "Blue" expresses "love with different paces" through DK and Seungkwan's perfect harmony. Their appealing voices blend into a poignant melody, completing the essence of a winter ballad that one wants to listen to every year at this time. The complex emotions that arise when the way, speed, and depth of expressing love differ are depicted in poetic lyrics. The music video, unusually composed of 7 minutes and 20 seconds, includes various scenes such as when the brilliant present gradually loses light from you, when the unanswered silence engulfs us, and when your touch is no longer felt on the desperately outstretched fingertips. Actors Lee Yu-mi and Noh Sang-hyun portray the gradually estranged lovers with deep performances, enhancing immersion. The 1st mini-album "Serenade," crafted with DK and Seungkwan's sensibility, consists of six tracks that trace the emotional journey from a relationship's stagnation through a phase of weariness to eventual steps forward. It includes the retro-pop song "Rockstar," expressing gratitude to those who fill ordinary days, the ethereal ballad "Dream Serenade" about the end of mature love, the R&B-based "Guilty Pleasure," the emptiness after a breakup in "Silence," and the hopeful beginning in "Prelude of love." DK and Seungkwan not only participated in writing and composing their solo songs but also co-wrote the final track "Prelude of love," proving their musical prowess.
