K-pop trio BSS made their highly-anticipated comeback with their second single album TELEPARTY. Comprising three SEVENTEEN members SEUNGKWAN, DK and HOSHI – previously made waves with their hit track 'Fighting (Feat. Lee Young Ji)'.
TELEPARTY, a portmanteau of “telepathy” and “party,” is BSS’ invitation for a party connected with everyone through their telepathic empathy. Continuing on their mission of spreading happiness and positive energy, the trio step up as “ambassadors of youth” promising listeners release from daily struggles and encouragement to live in the moment.
In the wake of the album release, BSS also dropped the official music video for the lead single 'CBZ (Prime time)', an anthem that blends swing jazz and country music with their distinct style, delivering an infectious vibe that compels everyone to get moving. Featuring star-studded cameos of Korean talents such as Uhm Jung-hwa, Jung Young-joo, Kal Sowon, and Moon Sang-hoon, the video portrays a celebration of youth as individuals from all walks of life—exhausted students and office workers, a distressed mother and a teenage daughter—join the unit in a joyful chant of “CBZ” (an acronym for "CheongBaZi"), conveying the uplifting message, “’Youth’ is anyone finding joy in the moment.”
Alongside 'CBZ (Prime time)', TELEPARTY includes two other tracks—a New Jack Swing track 'Happy Alone' that sings of treating oneself to a "party" after a tiring day, and an R&B love ballad 'Love Song' that captures the longing to reconnect with past. As with their previous album, all of the tracks have the three members on the credits for lyrics, along with SEVENTEEN's primary producers WOOZI and BUMZU credited as composers.
“Thanks to the love from our fans, we were able to make a comeback as BSS. Since it’s already been two years since our last release, we’re bringing in even more energy to cheer everyone on. We hope this album will be your happy start to 2025,” said SEUNGKWAN.
DK continues by stating, "We’ve filled the album with great songs including the lead single 'CBZ (Prime time)', full of youthful energy. BSS promise to always cheer for the youth of our listeners. We’ll give it our all for this release, so please stay tuned.”
"Being young doesn't guarantee youth, and being old doesn't deprive one of it. Anyone who finds joy in the moment is youthful. BSS will always be supporters of youth for our listeners. We hope this album brings strength and encouragement to many," HOSHI concludes.
