Five years since their first digital single “Just Do It”, K-pop boy band SEVENTEEN’s sub unit BSS is back with their first single album ‘SECOND WIND’. BSS is a special unit under the thirteen-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 the album ‘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 promised 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-starting the day, followed by the pop R&B track “LUNCH” that 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 favorite with high-spirited performances of the song packed with the three members’ signature exuberant energy.
‘SECOND WIND’ arrived on the heels of SEVENTEEN’s six-month world tour BE THE SUN in 2022, which took place across nineteen cities and twenty-nine 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.
