Subunits of Seventeen, the 13-member K-pop sensation, announced their plans for 2025, hinting at another vibrant year filled with their energy.

Pledis Entertainment, the group's agency under K-pop giant HYBE labels, said Friday that the subunit BSS will release its second single, 'TELEPARTY,' on Jan. 8. BSS is a trio composed of Seventeen members Seungkwan, DK and Hoshi.

Pledis described the upcoming single as a blend of "telepathy" and "party," calling it "a shared celebration connecting people worldwide through telepathy."

The agency added that the trio seeks to convey that "anyone who feels happiness in the moment, regardless of age, is living their youth."

The upcoming release marks BSS' first new music in nearly two years since its 2023 single album "SECOND WIND." Its title track, "Fighting," dominated Korean music charts immediately upon release, winning top honors on music shows and solidifying the unit's widespread appeal.

Another Seventeen subunit, reportedly composed of members Woozi and Hoshi, is set to release a new single, according to a report Thursday. This will mark Seventeen's second duo release, following Jeonghan and Wonwoo's single, "This Man," which debuted in June.

Woozi and Hoshi previously collaborated on the duet track "Bring It," featured on Seventeen's 2017 studio album "Teen, Age." The release date for their upcoming project has not yet been announced.

Seventeen is currently gearing up for a stadium tour across major Asian cities in January and February, further cementing the group's global appeal.
