To drum up excitement for the albums’ re-releases, SEVENTEEN have also released a compilation clip features music videos of the most popular songs from the eight albums that are set to be re-released. It includes the music videos for songs such as ‘Mansae’, ‘Boom Boom’, ‘Don’t Wanna Cry’ and more.
The re-release of SEVENTEEN’s older out-of-print albums comes just a month after the boyband made their return with ‘FML’. The project, which is the group’s tenth mini-album, was led by the singles ‘F*ck My Life’ and ‘Super’.
At the time of release, ‘FML’ broke the record for the highest-selling K-pop album in its first week of release in South Korea, moving over 3.9million copies in its first day. That figure also made the boyband the only act to exceed 3million copies in sales within the first day of an album’s release.
