BSS (Korean: 부석순, also known as BooSeokSoon or Seventeen BSS) is the first sub-unit of South Korean boy band Seventeen. Formed in 2018, the group is composed of DK, Hoshi, and Seungkwan.

Name

[edit]

BSS is an acronym that stands for BooSeokSoon, a combination of a syllable from each of the band members' names: "Boo" from Boo Seungkwan, "Seok" from Lee Seokmin (DK), and "Soon" from Kwon Soonyoung (Hoshi). The name was coined by fans during the members' training period, prior to their official debut as Seventeen.[1]

Career

[edit]

2018: Formation and debut

[edit]

On February 2, 2018, Seventeen members DK, Hoshi, and Seungkwan performed an unreleased song, "Just Do It", at a fan meeting as a special one-time skit.[2] Following the performance, the fans' enthusiastic reaction prompted the formation of Seventeen's first sub-unit, BSS.[3] The group debuted on March 21, 2018, officially releasing "Just Do It" as a digital single.[4][5]

2023–present: Second Wind and upcoming album

[edit]

Almost five years after their debut, BSS announced they would release a new album on January 7, 2023.[6] The group released their first single album Second Wind on February 6, 2023, alongside the music video for its lead single, "Fighting", featuring Lee Young-ji.[7][8] The album includes two other tracks, "Lunch" and "7PM", with the latter featuring Norwegian artist Peder Elias.[9] On the first day of its release, Second Wind sold over 478,000 copies, breaking the first-week sales record for an album released by a K-pop band sub-unit.[10] By the end of the first week, the album sold a record 610,189 copies in total.[11] On February 15, 2023, BSS received their first music show win on MBC M's Show Champion with "Fighting", followed by wins on M Countdown, Music Bank, Show! Music Core and Inkigayo.[12][13][14] Following the success of their promotions, BSS won the Best Performance of the Year category at the 2023 Asia Artist Awards, earning themselves their first daesang (grand prize) award.[15][16]

On March 10, 2024, BSS released the single "The Reasons of My Smiles" as part of the original soundtrack of the series Queen of Tears.[17] On November 18, it was confirmed that BSS were preparing new music, set to be released early 2025.[18]
