Seventeen is maybe gearing for a major comeback this May. An exclusive media outlet confirmed the news and it may come with a full album.
Rumors about Seventeen's return in the limelight have been swirling for sometime now. So, will fans soon see S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino back on stage?
AllKpop revealed the report that claimed the 13-member group would come back with a new album in the middle of May. If this happens, it will be the first time they will drop a full album in about two years and eight months, following the release of "An Ode" in 2019.
So, will this support Twitter user @elsserafim's prediction that the "Rock with You" hitmakers would return to the business? The fan account posted screenshots from the business prediction report in February.
However, Sports Keeda revealed such analysis or business prediction reports usually don't happen, though it gives fans an idea of what to expect. The news in question comes from Meritz Securities Report, predicting the boys will return in June with a fourth full album.
The target sales for this new LP are said to be 2.1 million. Knowing they have already surpassed 1 million sales in their pre-order period, they are not far from hitting that target.
So, this motivates the group's fandom, CARATS, to work harder to help Seventeen reach that mark and break another record. They are now planning for voting strategies, donation links, information guides on streaming and multiple vote-collect apps, among others, to achieve this success.
In addition, the business report also predicts a second on-con or online concert and a regular Japanese release this March. However, the only official schedule Pledis Entertainment confirmed, so far, for this month is the fan meet, "Seventeen in Carat Land."
Korea Herald revealed it would be the sixth fan meeting event the K-pop idols would do in Seoul. It would be held from March 25 to 27 and the final day would be streamed live online.
Meanwhile, Seventeen reclaimed the No. 1 spot on Oricon's daily single chart with its special single release in Japanese, "Ainochikara." The song managed to top the chart for six consecutive days after dropping in December.
In fact, it has already earned a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan for recording more than 250,000 shipments. Not only that, though, Seventeen's music video for "Very Nice" also surpassed 100 million views on YouTube.
