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.

SEVENTEEN’s S.Coups Donates 50M KRW to Shelter for Abandoned Pets

S.Coups, the fearless leader of the boy group SEVENTEEN, recently made another significant contribution to animal welfare. He donated 50 million KRW (approximately 38,500 USD) to Angels’ Nest, a private, non-profit shelter for abandoned animals in South Korea. His agency, PLEDIS Entertainment, revealed what he did.

A warm and healthy winter

Angels’ Nest will use S.Coups’s donation to care for the animals living in the shelter and cover their medical expenses. This shelter is a no-kill facility, meaning it doesn’t euthanize animals that haven’t been adopted yet. Currently, Angels’ Nest has about 200 animals in its care. It relies on donations and volunteers across various fields to sustain its operations.

In South Korea, animal shelters like Angels’ Nest play a key role in offering shelter, protection, and medical treatments for stray, sick, lost, or abandoned animals. These shelters often put animals up for adoption. After a certain period of time, they euthanize those no one adopts.

S.Coups’s donation comes at a crucial time for Angels’ Nest, and the people running it are deeply grateful for his help. “We are sincerely thankful for S.Coups’s benevolence,” the shelter expressed. “Thanks to his warm support, the animals can spend a warm and healthy winter.”

S.Coups is a real animal lover

Known for his efforts to promote animal welfare, S.Coups’s actions are not surprising, especially considering how much he loves his own pet. Kkuma, a white Maltese dog, has been a major source of comfort and strength for S.Coups, especially when he went on hiatus for a while to focus on his mental health.

This isn’t the first time S.Coups has extended his support to animal welfare. In September, he donated 30 million KRW to the animal rescue organization WEACT to help save dogs from breeding farms. In February, he donated 20 million KRW to aid recovery efforts after a massive earthquake hit Turkey and Syria.

S.Coups’s acts of kindness underscore the ongoing need for support and attention to animal welfare issues in South Korea. The efforts of organizations like Angels’ Nest are crucial in addressing these issues. – K-Pop News Writer

SEVENTEEN Fans React To S. Coups Torn ACL Surgery

S. Coups is taking a break to recover from a recent injury. It was recently announced that the SEVENTEEN leader suffered from a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) after injuring his left knee. Since the announcement, CARATs have been sharing their thoughts about Choi Seungcheol’s injury. Most fans are expressing their concern for the rapper after realizing he would be on hiatus for several months.

On August 17, PLEDIS Entertainment issued a statement confirming the SEVENTEEN member’s injury. According to the agency, S. Coups was injured while filming content with the rest of the group. Once taken to the hospital, it was confirmed that Choi Seungcheol had suffered from a torn ACL and would need several months to recuperate.

The statement further confirmed that Choi will be going through necessary medical treatment prior to the knee surgery. Unfortunately, this meant that S. Coups will not participate in group activities until he is fully recovered.

CARATs React To S. Coups’ Latest Injury

Not surprisingly, fans met the news with mixed reactions. Although several CARATS were quick to wish S. Coups to get better soon, others worried that he would be out of the spotlight for almost a year. It was noted that recovering from a torn ACL could last six to nine months at most. This means the SEVENTEEN rapper will have to halt promotions until early next year.

This isn’t the first time that S. Coups had to stay away from the limelight due to an injury. In 2021, he had to withdraw from promotions for the EP “Your Choice” after sustaining injuries from a fall. According to reports, Choi injured his right shoulder and had additional abrasions and cuts to his right ear, chin, and forehead. However, he was able to return and continue promoting with the group.

SEVENTEEN recently held a two-day concert titled “Follow” at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome.

SEVENTEEN’s S. Coups Resumes Japan Activities

S. Coups is officially back to work. The SEVENTEEN leader has resumed group activities after taking a short break due to some health issues.

PLEDIS Entertainment Announces S. Coups’ Absence From Fan Meeting

On May 27, PLEDIS Entertainment issued a statement confirming that S. Coups will not participate in a fan meeting scheduled on that day. The agency revealed that Choi Seungcheol was not feeling well.

“As he is not feeling well, SEVENTEEN’s S. Coups will inevitably be absent from the Tokyo performance of SEVENTEEN 2023 JAPAN FANMEETING ‘LOVE’ on May 27,” the statement read.

“We apologize to fans and ask for your understanding,” it continues. “We will do our best to support S. Coups so he may recover his health as soon as possible.”

SEVENTEEN Quickly Reunites With Group Leader

Luckily, it looks like the SEVENTEEN leader quickly recovered from his illness. The group’s maknae Dino shared two selfies on Twitter confirming Choi Seungcheol resumed group activities the following day.

It is unclear why S. Coups was not able to join the rest of the group on May 27. However, Japanese CARATs were happy to see him reunited with the other SEVENTEEN members so soon.

There is a good reason why fans are concerned about S. Coups. Back in November 2019, the Hip-Hop Team leader announced that he is taking a break from the group. Choi Seungcheol was in hiatus for several months, eventually reuniting with his members on March 2020. However, SEVENTEEN was still unable to go on tour due to COVID-19.

SEVENTEEN is currently promoting their tenth mini album ‘FML’ and the singles “F*ck My Life” and “Super”. The group are also touring Japan for the “LOVE” fan meetings.

S. Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, THE8, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino recently celebrated an awesome milestone. SEVENTEEN celebrated the fifth anniversary of their Japanese debut on May 30, 2023.
