DK and Seungkwan from SEVENTEEN have taken on intriguing villain personas as part of their new unit. On January 7, the duo released a special content piece titled 'GOING DxS SPECIAL: Villains BBOODO' on SEVENTEEN's official YouTube channel to promote their upcoming mini-album 'So-ya-gok'. They expressed their commitment to creating a 'blue' world through music, blending humor and warmth in their promotional activities.

Their portrayal of villainy, interspersed with genuine camaraderie, captivated audiences. While they proclaimed their mission to 'destroy all music', they quickly pivoted to nostalgic singing of their senior vocal duo's songs, showcasing their softer sides. Approaching locals for spontaneous performances of their new song added an endearing touch, emphasizing their affectionate demeanor.

In a surprise twist, Dino made a cameo at the end of the video, embodying 'Picheorin' and providing humorous commentary that enlivened the content, tying well with the themes of their upcoming album. DK and Seungkwan will officially release 'So-ya-gok' on January 12 at 6 PM, with the lead single 'Blue' exploring the complexities of love.

SEVENTEEN's new unit, DK and Seungkwan, are pushing boundaries not only in music but also in their personal image. By adopting villainous personas, they aim to introduce a broader spectrum of expressions that offer fans a fresh experience beyond their traditionally bright and healthy image. This change in character could also influence the themes and genres of their music, adding emotional depth to their upcoming tracks.

The lead single 'Blue' addresses the complexities of love, a shift from the usual upbeat love themes that SEVENTEEN often explores. By capturing both the joyful and tumultuous facets of love, this song is poised to become a mature love ballad. The emotional expressions and vocal harmonies showcased by the duo will undoubtedly enhance the album's overall appeal.

Fans can expect to discover new facets of DK and Seungkwan through this unit activity. Their humor and warmth extend beyond music, showcasing a relatable public persona that will likely have a positive impact on their brand image. This move is expected to resonate well with the audience, solidifying their place in the industry further.
