Seventeen<\/a> members, DK and Seungkwan, are debuting a brand\u2011new unit under the name DxS, with their first mini\u2011album, Serenade<\/em>, dropping on Jan. 12. DxS joins the band\u2019s existing lineup of four subunits \u2014BSS (featuring DK, Hoshi, and Seungkwan), JxW (Jeonghan and Wonwoo), HxW (Hoshi and Woozi), and CxM (S.Coups and Mingyu). The announcement arrives via a trailer titled \u201cAn Ordinary Love,\u201d released recently on HYBE Labels\u2019 official YouTube channel, offering a first taste of the duo\u2019s cinematic storytelling.<\/p>\n

The trailer opens with DK staring at a phone he can\u2019t hang up, a frozen beat of longing that hangs in the air like a held breath. The scene then cuts to his apartment. Around him, wilted potted plants and a bowl of dried-out fruit sit in muted, desaturated tones, their gray\u2011washed leaves mirroring a love that\u2019s slowly losing its spark. His everyday routine feels like a loop of endless, cloudy days, until an unexpected someone (without revealing her face) appears and snaps the scene into motion, hinting that the two lovers are about to drift onto separate tracks. The visual vibe is a warm yet melancholy mix of vintage Nineties and the nostalgia it brings: flip phones, grainy film stock, and a cozy comic\u2011book caf\u00e9. Every frame is drenched in soft, slightly desaturated colors, with a delicate color grade that gives the whole thing a short-film-like feel.<\/p>\n

Seungkwan enters the scene behind the counter at a little comic\u2011book caf\u00e9, and when a customer pulls out a pile of books, his eyes light up like he\u2019s just seen an old flame. A quick, wistful smile slides across his face, and he\u2019s instantly back in that warm, fuzzy memory. Then, in a split second, he fumbles, misses one of the books off the pile, and rushes to hand it over, a tiny reminder of missed chances and those fleeting connections. The cover of that book flashes \u201cBlue,\u201d adding a sense of melancholy and also a hint of mystery to the sequence. On the other side, DK\u2019s finger ring (possibly a wedding ring) glints in the low light, a subtle nod to a love that once felt forever, while the \u201cBlue\u201d comic acts as a symbolic key to the album\u2019s heart. Together, their stories \u2014 DK\u2019s static boredom and emotional distance, Seungkwan\u2019s wistful recollections \u2014 weave an anthology of ordinary love: the encounters, the separations, the quiet moments, and the new beginnings. The trailer, titled \u201cAn Ordinary Love,\u201d captures all that in a cinematic, almost poetic way, setting the stage for Serenade<\/em>.<\/p>\n
