Debut Album Breakdown

Serenade captures “a love song sung at night,” delving into emotions between meeting and parting with wintery sentimentality. The vocal-centric project highlights ordinary love’s bittersweet moments, free from SEVENTEEN’s signature choreography. Teasers like the An Ordinary Love trailer on HYBE Labels’ YouTube show DK in longing phone scenes and Seungkwan reminiscing at a comic café, with symbolic wilted plants signaling fading romance. A track sampler on TikTok previews enchanting melodies, building hype for the 6 PM KST drop. Tracklist teases emotional depth, including a “Blue” nod tying into the poster’s vibe.

Members Spotlight

DK (Lee Seokmin) and Seungkwan (Boo Seungkwan) anchor SEVENTEEN’s vocals with refined technique, powerful delivery, and expressive timbres. Known from group hits, solos, OSTs, and covers like Lady Gaga’s Die With A Smile, they shine in live synergy. DxS lets their complementary voices explore ballads without dance demands, echoing BSS vibes but more intimate.

Style & Aesthetic

DxS embraces understated romance: soft blues, nocturnal imagery, and relatable heartbreak. The cinema poster—blue edition with Lee You Mi and Noh Sang Hyun—evokes moody films, blending K-drama visuals with R&B-infused vocals. Expect elegant packaging in Compact Ver., prioritizing emotional immersion over high-energy concepts. This aligns with SEVENTEEN’s 2025 subunits like HxW and CxM, post-HAPPY BURSTDAY anniversary.
