SEVENTEEN will release a double title song for the first time since its debut. Through the double title songs "F*ck My Life" and "Super (손오공)," Seventeen will attract music fans around the world by presenting music of opposite colors and all-time performances.
"F*ck My Life" sends a message to those living in a fierce reality that accepting the current state as it is will be a greater comfort and hope than any ambiguous comfort.
Another title song, "Super" is inspired by Journey to the West's Monkey King, who upgrades himself through trials and frustrations, and contains a message that compares SEVENTEEN, which continues its "career high" march and is growing indefinitely, to "손오공."
Seventeen will show an energetic blockbuster "Mega Crew Performance" that moves like one body with more than 200 dancers through "Super."
Regarding the performance of the title song "Super" they explained, "In terms of performance, it is stronger than any choreography in SEVENTEEN's history.
