Seventeen’s S.Coups and Mingyu Debut Unit with ‘Hype Vibes’ Mini-Album

Seventeen's leader S.Coups and rapper Mingyu have debuted a new subunit called CxM with their mini-album 'HYPE VIBES,' released on September 29. The album features six tracks, including the title song "5, 4, 3 (Pretty Woman)," which creatively interpolates Roy Orbison's classic "Oh, Pretty Woman" with modern disco beats to express themes of irresistible attraction. Both members took active roles in writing and composing the album, aiming to showcase an honest, natural, and uncensored side of themselves distinct from Seventeen's larger group dynamic. The duo chose to film the music video in Los Angeles, matching the track's nostalgic Americana vibe with a casual, streetwear-inspired aesthetic reflective of their personal styles. Their collaboration highlights a strong creative chemistry fostered within Seventeen's close-knit environment and marks a new avenue for exploration beyond their hip-hop unit, with plans to continue evolving this subunit. This project underscores their desire to connect with fans through fresh, genuine musical expressions and diverse performances.
