2 million preorders for K-pop boy group Seventeen’s fourth full-length album

Mingyu said ‘Face the Sun’ candidly depicts the band’s ambition to be an important presence like the sun and its strong will to squarely face all hardships on the journey with courage and move straight forward.

The album consists of nine tracks, all of them sung by the members as a group, without any solo or unit numbers.

The main song, “Hot”, which combines hip-hop with western guitar sounds, is all about the band’s desire to become a presence as hot as the sun.

Debuting in 2015, Seventeen is known for its perfectly synchronised dance moves and capabilities to write, compose and arrange its own music. It is now one of the leading K-pop groups whose recent albums have sold more than 1 million copies upon their release.

The fourth LP has sold more than two million copies in preorders, a new record for the group. It became the most-preordered album from Seventeen, surpassing 1.41 million copies for the band’s previous release and ninth EP, ‘Attacca’.
