New Delhi: Five years since their first digital single ‘Just do it’, BSS (SEVENTEEN) is back with the unit’s first single album SECOND WIND. BSS is a special unit under the 13-piece K-pop powerhouse act SEVENTEEN, consisting of SEUNGKWAN, DK and HOSHI. The unit name is the acronym for ‘BooSeokSoon,’ each of the three letters taken from the Korean name of the members that form the unit.
In SECOND WIND, BSS present themselves as a part of the listeners’ ‘run crew,’ promising to run alongside them and act as a boost to the energy and persistence needed to achieve their respective goals. The term ‘Second Wind’ refers to a state where an overstrained runner suddenly finds renewed energy to press on, which BSS promise to help their listeners reach with the latest release.
The album’s tracklist is designed to resemble a workout playlist, with each of the three tracks corresponding to different times of the day. The lead single ‘Fighting (Feat. Lee Young Ji)’ opens the album as the perfect background music to kick-start the day, followed by the pop R&B track “LUNCH” which helps fight off post-lunch drowsiness. The final track “7 PM (Feat. Peder Elias)” sets the mood for a laid-back evening, bringing the listeners full circle and preparing them for another day.
BSS’ first digital single ‘Just do it’ was released in March 2018, soon becoming a fan favourite with high-spirited performances of the song packed with the three members’ signature exuberant energy.
SECOND WIND arrives on the heels of SEVENTEEN’s 6-month world tour ‘BE THE SUN’ in 2022, which took place across 19 cities and 29 shows. The band closed out the tour with multiple wins at major award shows worldwide, including the MTV Video Music Awards, MTV European Music Awards, Japan Record Awards, Asia Artist Awards, and more.
