At midnight on the 28th, SEVENTEEN posted a trailer 'There or Death' of its fifth full-length album 'Happy Burst Day' on the team's official YouTube channel and SNS.
The trailer consists of a total of three versions of Side A 'Dare' and Side B 'Dead', which are produced in an interactive format and lead to different endings depending on the choice. Seventeen's self-awareness of the 'Daredevil (daredevil)' in them leads viewers to a crossroads between challenge and complacency.
In the main episode, members in an unknown impulse are depicted in intense images after facing 'Daredevil' falling in flames. The scene where those who go between anxiety and madness overlap with the shape of 'Daredevil' is the prevailing. This is a device that implies that the two beings are one person after all. The video features Wonwoo climbing on top of the building and taking a deep breath as if he has decided something, and 'Chooz for Yourself, Challenge or Sattle (choose for yourself). It ends with the phrase 'Will you challenge or stay?'
Side A 'Dare' version shows SEVENTEEN boldly challenging themselves as the title reveals. Those who have boldly stepped toward their next journey through fear finally accept 'Daredevil' and are reborn as one. The members who are born as new beings by turning their bodies violently leave a strong impression by embroidering the screen with the exploding flames.
On the other hand, in the version of Side B 'Death', the ending unfolds when you turn away your inner voice and stay in the present. Those who have decided to settle down due to anxiety and fear disappear in acrid smoke. Then, a missing flyer reading 'Missing' flies in and shocks her.
At the end of the versions of 'Dare' and 'DES', the sentences 'Face the Challenge By New (Fight the Challenge, Burn New)' and 'Without Challenge, Dear Is No New Beginning' appear respectively, demonstrating Seventeen's strong will to challenge and rebirth.
Seventeen previously announced an intense rebirth by releasing the album name 'Happy Burst', which combines the English words Birthday and Explosion, Explosion, and Burst. The trailer with two endings is then unveiled, and fans are looking forward to what kind of story and music Shinbo will contain.
Seventeen held a 'SEVENTEEN 2025 Japan Fan Meeting 'Holiday' in Osaka, Kyocera Dome, Japan, on the 24th and 26th and 27th, creating unforgettable memories with 120,000 audiences. Tickets for the three-day performance were 's sold out', realizing their high local popularity. The members will continue their performances at Saitama Super Arena from May 10-11.
