BSS ( Korean: 부석순, also known as BooSeokSoon or Seventeen BSS) is the first sub-unit of South Korean boy band Seventeen. Formed in 2018, the group is composed of DK, Hoshi, and Seungkwan.
BSS is an acronym that stands for BooSeokSoon, a portmanteau composed of a syllable from each of the band members' names: "Boo" from Boo Seung-kwan, "Seok" from Lee Seokmin (DK), and "Soon" from Kwon Soonyoung ( Hoshi). The name was coined by fans during the members' training period, prior to their official debut as Seventeen. [1]
On February 2, 2018, Seventeen members DK, Hoshi, and Seungkwan performed an unreleased song, "Just Do It", at a fan meeting as a special one-time skit. [2] Following the performance, the fans' enthusiastic reaction prompted the formation of Seventeen's first sub-unit, BSS. [3] The group debuted on March 21, 2018, officially releasing "Just Do It" as a digital single. [4] [5]
Almost five years after their debut, BSS announced they would release a new album on January 7, 2023. [6] The group released their first single album Second Wind on February 6, 2023, alongside the music video for its lead single, " Fighting", featuring Lee Young-ji. [7] [8] The album includes two other tracks, "Lunch" and "7PM", with the latter featuring Norwegian artist Peder Elias. [9] On the first day of its release, Second Wind sold over 478,000 copies, breaking the first-week sales record for an album released by a K-pop band sub-unit. [10] By the end of the first week, the album sold a record 610,189 copies in total. [11] On February 15, 2023, BSS received their first music show win on MBC M's Show Champion with "Fighting", followed by wins on M Countdown, Music Bank, Show! Music Core and Inkigayo. [12] [13] [14] Following the success of their promotions, BSS won the Best Performance of the Year category at the 2023 Asia Artist Awards, earning themselves their first daesang (grand prize) award. [15] [16]
Prior to their comeback, on February 13, 2022, BSS was selected as the brand ambassador of skincare brand Bring Green. [17] In March 2024, BSS was appointed as Oppo Reno Experts, serving as the face of Oppo's campaign to launch the Oppo Reno11 F 5G smartphone into the Asia-Pacific market. [18] [19]
On March 10, 2024, BSS released the single "The Reasons of My Smiles" as part of the original soundtrack of the series Queen of Tears. [20]
