SEVENTEEN’s album details reveal this comeback is going to be huge, so check out their schedule below.

Fans can pre-order the album now until Oct. 18. If you’re researching the best websites to purchase it from, try the Weverse Shop (You can download it in the app store if you don’t have it already).

Semicolon Album Concept

CARATs will love SEVENTEEN’s album concept because it’s so unique. Just like its title implies, ; [Semicolon] is inspired by what a semicolon represents.

“In a sentence, a semicolon allows a momentary break to enable seamless continuity and unhindered explanation,” SEVENTEEN explained in a press release. “Youth also calls for a temporary break, which paves the way for longevity. The semicolon is not a symbol of the end. Rather, it represents the eternity of our journey in life. It gives the young generation a moment of laughter through the melody and instills hope to appreciate the true joy of living in the moment.”

Unlike Heng:garæ, which represents a “journey of youth,” ; [Semicolon] is also described as an “invitation for youth.”

Semicolon Album Details

K-Pop albums are always jam-packed with all kinds of goodies and SEVENTEEN’s new EP is no exception. Get this: ; [Semicolon] will have 14 different versions, with one dedicated to each member of the group and a group version. Each edition will come with the following items:

Semicolon Tracklist

The EP will have six songs total: “Home;Run,” “Do Re Mi,” “HEY BUDDY,” “Light a Flame,” “AH! LOVE,” and “All My Love.” The lead single, “Home;Run,” is described as a swing-genre based song that combines retro, rhythmic, and cheerful sounds. WOOZI helped write and compose the song, while VERNON and SEUNGKWAN also helped write some of the lyrics.

Fans will be excited to hear this EP includes several sub-unit tracks. “Do Re Mi” will feature SEUNGKWAN, VERNON, and DINO. “HEY BUDDY” will have The8, MINGYU, and DK. “Light a Flame” will see JUN, HOSHI, WONWOO, and WOOZI working together, while “AH!

Semicolon Video Teaser

CARATs can get more of an idea of SEVENTEEN’s next concept through their ; [Semicolon] video teaser. The clip shows the members enjoying their time together while sharing drinks and going bowling together. Some of the guys receive invitations that say “Work Hard” and “Rest Hard,” which could reference their concept of youth calling for a “temporary break.”
