K-pop giants SEVENTEEN are gearing up for the release of their much-anticipated album SPILL THE FEELS, scheduled to drop on October 14, 2024. However, what has really caught everyone’s attention is the unexpected partnership with American music producer DJ Khaled, stirring up a wave of mixed reactions from fans.
Speculation about the collaboration began swirling on September 29, when listeners identified DJ Khaled’s signature phrase, “Another one,” in a teaser for the album. These rumours were quickly confirmed by SEVENTEEN’s agency, Pledis Entertainment, through a social media post that included a special message from DJ Khaled himself. The collaboration track is set to premiere at 6 PM KST (5 AM ET) on the album’s release day.
Carats have taken to social media to voice their thoughts on this bold collaboration. While some are excited to see SEVENTEEN venture into new musical territory, others are far from pleased. One fan bluntly tweeted, “I adore SEVENTEEN, but a track featuring DJ Khaled? That’s a hard pass. I’m definitely feeling conflicted now that the collab is officially confirmed.” Another fan didn’t mince words, writing, “Nobody asked for this lackluster collab with DJ Khaled and SEVENTEEN. Seriously, do better.”
On the flip side, a few fans found humour in the situation, with one joking, “The thought of DJ Khaled yelling ‘SEVENTEEN!!!!’ is hilarious, I can’t lie.” Despite the criticism, many Carats are staying positive, eagerly awaiting to hear how this unconventional collaboration might surprise them.
As some fans express concerns about DJ Khaled’s influence overshadowing SEVENTEEN’s distinct style, the group remains determined to break new ground and deliver something unexpected. With the album’s release just days away, the world is watching closely to see if this daring collaboration will resonate with listeners or fall flat.
The countdown to SPILL THE FEELS continues, and fans everywhere are holding their breath to discover how SEVENTEEN’s bold choices will shape the sound of their latest work.
