SEVENTEEN's new special unit S.COUPS & Mingyu will rearrange Roy Orbison's hit song 'Oh, Pretty Woman.' Pledis Entertainment released six track samplers from S.COUPS & Mingyu's 1st mini-album 'HYPE VIBES' yesterday, the 16th. The videos include parts of the new songs and show the two enjoying their daily lives freely, raising fans' expectations. The first video features a pleasant melody that leaves an impression, with the two enjoying surfing at the sea, enhancing the refreshing feeling. Their unexpected charm, which has shown strong charisma as members of the hip-hop team, stands out in the content. The second video plays a well-known melody that captures the viewers' hearts. The two incorporate the century's love song 'Oh, Pretty Woman' through interpolation (a method of creating new songs by referencing existing tracks and drum patterns). This song, well-known as the theme song for the movie 'Pretty Woman,' recorded a whirlwind popularity with 7 million sales at the time of its release in 1964. There is growing interest in how they will reimagine this romantic song. The third track sampler features a lyrical guitar melody that resonates warmly. S.COUPS's silhouette against the backdrop of a sunset sea enhances the emotional atmosphere. The fourth video shows Mingyu swimming under the moonlight, accompanied by gradually rising EDM sounds. The fantastical flow of visuals transitioning from the evening sunset to the night draws attention. The last two videos feature music with a mood completely opposite to the previous ones. The fifth track sampler captivates with a catchy flute melody, while the sixth video features a sensory sound reminiscent of a club party that makes one want to move. Through these diverse track samplers, S.COUPS & Mingyu showcase their wide-ranging musicality. The hashtags included in the videos also stimulate curiosity. From '#HOMIES_NOW' to '#CRUSH_NOW,' '#GOLDEN_NOW,' '#FEEL_ALIVE_NOW,' '#PARTY_NOW,' and '#HOT_NOW,' the various 'now' moments captured in their daily lives are expressed through music, visual beauty, and hashtags. 'HYPE VIBES' represents a hot and free atmosphere where anyone can enjoy and connect together. S.COUPS & Mingyu participated in the lyrics and composition of all songs, including the title track '5,4,3 (Pretty Woman) (feat. Lay Bankz),' incorporating their own tastes and emotions. Following the highlight medley on the 22nd, they will release two teaser videos for the official music video on the 25th and 26th. The long-awaited new album and title track music video are scheduled to be released on the 29th at 6 PM.
