Pledis Entertainment group SEVENTEEN brings yearning in the form of electro-pop beats as their next comeback officially rears its head.

Your Choice, the eighth mini album by the third generation group, has fans buzzing with excitement.

Trailers for the main single “Ready to love” have been revealed this past week, hinting at the title track’s dance-enticing sound. 

Your Choice will contain six songs varying from dabbles in hyper-pop to tear-striking ballads, as shown in a highlight medley posted by the band’s YouTube channel on June 14. 

Album collecting is a key feature in K-pop fan culture, and the boy group has offered three versions for Carats to choose from One Side, Other Side, and Beside. Each version will include a poster and a random selection of member photo cards, one of the many enticing reasons fans are drawn to purchasing physical albums in the K-pop community.

Concept photos that have dropped since the initial announcement give way to the album’s boy next door imagery in the One Side version, with waves of something nostalgic contained in both Other Side and Beside. 

On June 17 official SEVENTEEN Twitter account disclosed that member Xu Minghao, on stage known as “The 8”, sustained an injury to his ankle, which will hinder his performance in comeback activities.

While the member will be present, the statement reads his role in the showcases will be “minimal” for the time being.

Your Choice drops alongside the main single’s music video on June 18, 6 pm KST. In addition, the group will debut the performance of “Ready to love” in the U.S. on Jimmy Kimmel Live! June 23.
