Most recently, DK and SEUNGKWAN teased their joint involvement as part of a new SEVENTEEN sub-unit with the release of a cover of Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ chart-topping hit single, “Die With A Smile.” In the cover’s performance video, both of them find themselves dressed in outfits that mirror the costumes of Gaga and Mars from the original music video –– with the stage design, lighting, and production value also paying close homage to the source material.
2025 marked quite a busy year for SEVENTEEN, following the release of their fifth studio album, HAPPY BURSTDAY, which commemorated their tenth anniversary on the K-pop scene. On the record, each member of the group released a solo track, with DK performing “Happy Virus” and SEUNGKWAN performing “Raindrops.” Additionally, the chart-topping K-pop group also debuted new sub-units with HxW (HOSHI and WOOZI) with their 1st Single Album, BEAM, as well as CxM (S.COUPS and MINGYU) with their 1st Mini Album, HYPE VIBES.
Together with HOSHI, both DK and SEUNGKWAN (as their sub-unit trio, BSS) released their 2nd Single Album, TELEPARTY, which spawned the viral single, “CBZ (Prime Time).” Alongside their fellow SEVENTEEN members, the duo are set to perform in the Philippines on March 21, 2026, as part of their [NEW] World Tour at the Philippine Sports Stadium in Bulacan. Limited tickets to the show are still available, with prices ranging from Php 7,950 to Php 21,200.
