SEVENTEEN’s S.Coups Drops ‘Me’ MV as Year-End Gift to Fans

S.Coups, the leader of SEVENTEEN, surprised CARATS with a sweet year-end gifta new song titled “Me.” The release of this song, accompanied by a music video, serves as a thoughtful present from Choi Seungcheol to the fans who have eagerly awaited his return.

S.Coups Releases ‘Me’ MV as Year-End Gift for CARATS

“Me” is not only a heartfelt expression of S.Coups’ feelings but also a powerful track that showcases his artistic prowess. The song was written and composed by S.Coups in collaboration with BUMZU, SEVENTEEN’s longtime producer. The release of “Me” offers fans a glimpse into the leader’s musical style and a meaningful connection with him during his absence from SEVENTEEN’s recent activities.

S.Coups had been on a hiatus from SEVENTEEN’s promotional activities due to a health condition. In October, PLEDIS Entertainment announced that S.Coups would not be participating in the promotions for ‘SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN’, the group’s latest album. This decision was made in consideration of his health, as he had sustained a tear in his left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) while filming for a show in August. The vulnerability of his knee necessitated a comprehensive medical examination, leading to the decision to prioritize his recovery and well-being.

S.Coups’ Absence in Recent SEVENTEEN Activities

Despite S.Coups’ strong desire to participate in SEVENTEEN’s activities, the agency, in consultation with medical professionals, chose to prioritize his health and avoid any physical taxing activities that could hinder his recovery. The fans, known as CARATS, have shown understanding and support for this decision, emphasizing the importance of the health and well-being of the members.

SEVENTEEN, despite S.Coups’ temporary absence, has continued to achieve remarkable success. Their latest album ‘SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN’, recorded over 5.2 million pre-orders, making it the most pre-ordered K-pop album in history. Additionally, the group received their first MAMA Awards Daesang for Album of the Year on November 29, marking a significant achievement in their illustrious career.

The release of “Me” by S.Coups serves as a meaningful bridge between the artist and CARATS, providing fans with a special connection and a heartfelt musical gift as they eagerly await S.Coups’ full return to SEVENTEEN’s activities.
