MUMBAI : SEOUL –SEVENTEEN’s JEONGHAN and WONWOO are coming together to release their first-ever single album THIS MAN, slated to debut on June 17 at 6 PM KST (5 AM ET).
A cryptic logo trailer revealing the two members of the unit was unveiled on May 19, followed by a futuristic teaser trailer titled ‘The City.’ Set in a bustling metropolitan area at nighttime, the trailer shows lightning striking the city and causing a momentary blackout.

LeeHi),” SVT LEADERS’ track “CHEERS,” and most recently, BBS’ Single Album SECOND WIND.
The announcement of JEONGHAN and WONWOO’s first single album further heightens excitement, with its release scheduled shortly before SEVENTEEN’s highly anticipated performance at Glastonbury Festival’s Pyramid Stage.
