TELEPARTY

Teleparty is the highly anticipated second single album by BSS (부석순), a sub-unit of the popular South Korean boy band SEVENTEEN. Released on January 8, 2025, by Pledis Entertainment, the album marks the group’s return after their debut single “Second Wind” in 2023.

The album showcases BSS’s musical evolution, blending various genres to create a fresh, dynamic sound. The concept of “Teleparty” is built around the idea of connecting people through shared experiences, highlighting the importance of cherishing everyday moments. The title itself is a fusion of “telepathy” and “party,” symbolizing a connection that transcends time and space. The group’s concept for this release includes an “election campaign-style” video, cleverly planned before South Korea’s 2024 elections, adding an element of humor and creativity to the album’s theme.

Upon its release, “Teleparty” received significant commercial success, particularly with the lead single “CBZ (Prime Time),” which quickly topped charts in South Korea. The album sold over 500,000 copies in its first week, further solidifying BSS’s strong presence in the K-pop scene. This release continues to build on the group’s growing popularity, showcasing their versatility and ability to experiment with new sounds while maintaining their signature style.
