SEVENTEEN BSS Kick Off the Ultimate Youth Party with TELEPARTY
SEVENTEEN BSS (made up of Seungkwan, DK, and Hoshi), has officially launched a party for the youth with their new single album TELEPARTY, and it’s exactly what we all need right now.
On the 8th of January, BSS dropped the full album, along with the music video for the title track "청바지(which literally translates to Jeans)", and let me tell you, it's pure happiness wrapped in music. The concept of TELEPARTY is all about connecting the world through a telepathic party, and it’s a refreshing message of support and encouragement for anyone feeling a little worn out by the grind of daily life. If you’ve been caught up in the hustle and forgot what it feels like to embrace your youth, BSS is here to remind you.
"청바지" Music Video: A Party for Everyone
The "청바지" music video is a total vibe. BSS brings the fun by being ‘happiness makers’, lifting everyone’s spirits and bringing back the youthful energy. Whether it's the hectic office, tired classrooms, or nagging living rooms, they swoop in, hand out jeans (yep, jeans!), and turn everything around. With catchy music, high energy, and funny parodies, it’s impossible not to hit repeat.
And let’s talk about the cameos! First up, we get a surprise appearance from the legendary Um Jung-hwa, who gave SEVENTEEN their first Grand Prize at the 2023 MAMA Awards. Plus, actresses Jeong Yeong-joo and Gal So-won play a hilarious mother-daughter duo fighting over a pair of jeans. It’s relatable, funny, and totally heartwarming. But the highlight has to be actor Moon Sang-hoon, who channels his famous Bba Deo Neos YouTube character ‘Moon Teacher’. It just adds so much fun to the whole thing.
A Fresh Take on Youth and Happiness
The song "청바지" itself is a blend of swing jazz and country vibes, but of course, BSS adds their own twist. The title is actually short for "청춘은 바로 지금" which means "Youth is Now", sending a simple yet powerful message that if you’re happy right now, you’re youthful, no matter what your age is. It’s such a feel-good anthem that’ll have you dancing and smiling.
TELEPARTY features three tracks, each one bringing something different to the table. Besides "청바지", there’s the super catchy "Happy Alone" (a total New Jack Swing throwback) and "사랑 노래", which gives major 2000s R&B vibes. The best part? SEVENTEEN’s hit-making duo, Woozi and Bumzu, wrote and composed every single song on the album, with the three BSS members also contributing to the lyrics. It’s clear that they put a lot of heart into this one.
What's Next for BSS?
After the album drop, BSS is set to perform "청바지" live on M Countdown on January 9. If the music video is anything to go by, their live performance is going to be a blast, and I’m excited to see how they bring that same energy to the stage.
So if you haven’t already, go check out TELEPARTY. Trust me, it’s the perfect soundtrack to lift your spirits and remind you that no matter how crazy life gets, you can always find your youth and joy just like BSS is doing with their infectious party vibes.
