The energetic and fun-loving special unit of SEVENTEEN, BSS (Seungkwan, DK, and Hoshi), is ready to return with a bang! Their second single album, "TELEPARTY," will drop on January 8, and fans can’t wait.

At midnight KST on December 27, Pledis Entertainment shared the exciting teaser for BSS’s comeback through HYBE Labels' YouTube channel and SEVENTEEN’s social media. The trailer, titled "How is your youth?", instantly grabbed attention with its touching and inspiring vibe.

The trailer dives deep into the meaning of youth, opening with the question: "What is youth? Is it simply about being young?" It shows everyday moments from people of all ages and ends with the uplifting answer: "Youth is about enjoying the life you’re living at this very moment."

BSS takes on the role of "Youth Protectors," spreading joy and positivity across generations.

Their efforts bring smiles, laughter, and a reminder to embrace life’s little moments.

Fans were also thrilled to see a familiar face in the trailer—actor Moon Sang Hoon, famous for his "Moon Saem" character from the YouTube channel Bba-Doners. His comedic interactions with BSS added even more charm and excitement.

The title of the album, "TELEPARTY," combines "Telepathy" and "Party," representing a celebration that connects everyone in the world. Through this concept, BSS sends the heartwarming message: "If you’re happy in this moment, you are living your youth."
