Moreover, it is a track that intensely depicts the image of SEVENTEEN who bravely advances their own path in the face of the scorching sun.
Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN will hold a comeback show for their fourth studio album "Face the Sun" on May 28 at 7 p.m. KST. The event will be broadcast live worldwide through the HYBE Labels YouTube channel, Naver Now, and Line Music.
