On October 14, SEVENTEEN released their twelfth mini-album, “Spill The Feels,” along with the title track “Love, Money, Fame.” This marks their second comeback of the year, following their Best Album of April. It is also the first promotion without member Jeonghan, who enlisted in late September.
Before the album’s release, SEVENTEEN performed new songs, including “Love, Money, Fame”, during their world tour concert in Goyang on October 12-13. “Spill The Feels” contains 6 tracks, including songs from the Hip-hop, Vocal and Performance teams, showcasing the group’s growth and international appeal.
The title track combines pop elements with a fresh sound, featuring the famous DJ Khaled. It conveys a message of love and encourages listeners to share their feelings for a better future. The music video, shot in Thailand, features an elegant urban atmosphere with artistic outdoor settings that highlight the group’s visuals and the song’s profound message. The choreography fuses romantic hip-hop moves, cementing SEVENTEEN’s reputation as one of the best K-pop dance groups.
However, SEVENTEEN’s comeback faced challenges due to controversy over DJ Khaled’s ties to rapper Diddy. Some international fans called for a boycott of the title track, but SEVENTEEN’s commitment to quality prevailed. The mini-album sold 1.2 million copies in its first 40 minutes and reached 2.49 million on its first day, cementing their status as the best-selling act of 2024.
Here are some reactions from K-netizens to SEVENTEEN’s new song:
- The music is crazy; Woozi is a genius.
- It’s really easy to listen to and fits the current time.
- I’ve heard a lot about it, so I didn’t know what to expect, but the music is really good. You don’t have to worry about the quality of the song.
- It’s so catchy. Easy to listen to and understand.
- I thought there would be a boycott because of that DJ, but if the music is good, the performance will be solid. The reactions are more positive than expected.
- This is definitely a song that doesn’t spark controversy. I apologize for criticizing it when I first heard the highlight medley…
