SEVENTEEN’s BSS Launch 2025 Comeback With ‘Teleparty’ EP: Stream It Now

Close to two years on from their debut EP, BSS – one of the sub-units of South Korean outfit SEVENTEEN – have returned with their latest musical offering, sharing the three-track Teleparty.
When SEVENTEEN first launched in 2015, the collective divided its 17-strong membership into the Hip-Hop Unit, Vocal Unit and Performance Unit. Three years later, in 2018, the first sub-unit was announced, with Seungkwan, DK and Hoshi coming together to form BSS.
Launching that same year with debut single “Just Do It”, the trio unveiled their debut EP in 2022, with Second Wind topping Korea’s Circle Album Chart upon its release. With lead single “Fighting” seeing BSS joining forces with breakout Korean hip-hop star Lee Youngji, it was a testament to the power of three as SEVENTEEN’s members divided and continued to conquer.
While SEVENTEEN have been busy in the interim with more chart-topping singles, EPs, compilations, and reissues, so too have BSS, who announced their long-awaited return in December.
That comeback arrives by way of Teleparty, which releases Wednesday (Jan. 8). Taking its title from a portmanteau of “telepathy” and “party”, the EP is said to represent BSS’ “heart-to-heart party of connection through their telepathic empathy”, while also reminding listeners to slow down and take note of the ordinary – though precious – moments in everyday life.
In a trailer promoting the EP, the trio act as apparent “ambassadors of youth”, providing everyone from students, office workers, and elders the chance to reclaim their youthful behavior as they live in the moment. “Youth is, in fact, knowing how to enjoy life in the present,” they claim. “If you can’t do that, you’re not youthful, even if you’re young.”
The three-track release finds itself fronted by the swing and country-influenced lead single “CBZ (Prime Time)”, and accompanied by the new jack swing throwback “Happy Alone” and ’00s-era R&B cut “Love Song”, further showcasing the musical diversity of the trio.
The arrival of Teleparty is also being accompanied by a “special fan party” being held at Seoul’s CG Art Hall on Sunday (Jan. 12).
