Dokyum and Seungkwan of SEVENTEEN delicately express winter sensibilities. Pledis Entertainment released official photos of the 'Surenade' version of Dokyum and Seungkwan's 1st mini-album 'Serenade' on December 22. The version name combines 'su' meaning 'original' or 'pure' and 'ren' meaning 'longing' or 'love,' representing 'unadorned love.' First, Dokyum depicts a moment focused solely on love for one person. His expression, as if slowly gazing at emotions treasured deep in his heart, carries a serious tone. The background reminiscent of a soundproof wall evokes a quiet and intimate atmosphere. Seungkwan's photo captures a scene where love resonates. The production expresses the process of inner emotions echoing like a reverberation, highlighted by shadows swaying in a clean space. His gaze, quietly looking at the camera, enhances the romantic atmosphere. 'Serenade' means 'a love song sung at night,' expressing various moments of ordinary love, from weariness and misunderstandings to new beginnings, through music. Dokyum and Seungkwan weave a unique emotional storytelling around the theme of ordinary love, creating an album that anyone can empathize with and understand. The two plan to release 'Serenade' on January 12 at 6 PM, marking the start of their activities in 2026. Prior to this, additional official photos reflecting the concept of the new mini-album will be released today (23rd). Track samplers, track lists, cinema posters, highlight medleys, and official teasers will be released sequentially.
