Hot off the heels of the successful release of their career-spanning greatest hits album “17 Is Right Here,” the 13-member ensemble convened a global press conference to delve into their latest endeavor and unveiled their ambitious plans for the upcoming year, including a US tour.

But before the tour kicks off, fans can immerse themselves in the group’s latest album, a monumental achievement showcasing their diverse music styles across its two CDs and 33 tracks.

The compilation includes Korean renditions of previously released Japanese singles, along with beloved hits from Seventeen’s discography. Furthermore, fans are treated to four new tracks and four new accompanying music videos set to drop in the following days.

Finally, the vocal unit, led by Woozi, Jeonghan, Joshua, DK and Seungkwan, will captivate fans with “Cheers to Youth” on May 24, rounding off the series of releases.

Accompanying the album’s launch is the music video for the lead track, “Maestro,” which transports viewers to a dark, futuristic and dystopian realm while seamlessly integrating artificial intelligence.
