The top K-pop group SEVENTEEN released their 5th full album, HAPPY BURSTDAY, on May 26, marking their 10th anniversary since debut.
For the past 10 years, SEVENTEEN has been known for constant challenges and adventures. They debuted with a unique formula: 13 members + 3 units + 1 team = 17. SEVENTEEN is famous as a “self-producing idol” group because they write, compose, and produce their own music and performances.
*13 members
에스쿱스 (S.Coups), 정한 (Jeonghan), 조슈아 (Joshua), 준 (Jun), 호시 (Hoshi), 원우 (Wonwoo), 우지 (Woozi), 디노 (Dino), 민규 (Mingyu), 도겸 (DK), 승관 (Seungkwan), 버논 (Vernon), 디에잇 (The8)
The album title, HAPPY BURSTDAY, combines the phrase "Happy Birthday" with the word "Burst," which means explosion or beginning. This title shows SEVENTEEN’s rebirth and the explosive new possibilities ahead.
Like the album name, the songs mix celebration, chaos, and bold challenges, creating a strong and impactful sound.

3. SEVENTEEN ‘Thunder’ – Lyric Breakdown
떨어져 flash 온몸이 crash
Falling flash, my whole body crashes
회로가 미쳐버렸어 제멋대로
My circuits went crazy, out of control
Now I'm funked up 액셀 밟어
Now I’m funked up, stepping on the gas
Everybody say ‘Whoa’ ‘Whoa’
Everybody say ‘Whoa’ ‘Whoa’
Uh 매일 이러면 좋아 달라진 DNA
Uh, I’d love it if every day was like this—my DNA’s changed
신남은 덤이야 아, 기분 어떡해
The excitement’s just a bonus, ah, how do I handle this feeling
달라진 동공을 희한하다고 다 놀려대면 어때
So what if they tease me for my changed gaze
이게 꿈이라면 그게 더 아쉬울 것만 같은데
If this is a dream, I’d be sadder when I wake up
다 모여봐 날뛰어 보자
Everyone, gather up and let’s go wild
우리 밤은 뜨거우니까
Our night is burning hot
친구들 Ring Ring 영감도 Ring Ring
Friends go ring ring, inspiration too ring ring
떠올라 마치 번개처럼 번쩍
It strikes like lightning, suddenly flashing
ALO ALO T.H.U.N.D.E.R
ALO ALO T.H.U.N.D.E.R
ALO ALO 번개처럼 찾아왔다
ALO ALO came like a flash of lightning
ALO ALO T.H.U.N.D.E.R
ALO ALO T.H.U.N.D.E.R
ALO ALO 떠올라 마치 번개처럼 번쩍
ALO ALO struck like lightning, suddenly flashing
계속 걸려 오는 전화벨 소리
The phone keeps ringing non-stop
번개처럼 계속 찌릿찌릿 따끔해요
It stings and tingles like lightning
계속 걸려 오는 전화벨 소리
The phone keeps ringing again and again
번개처럼 계속 찌릿찌릿 따끔해요
Just like lightning, it keeps stinging sharply
찌릿찌릿 like
Tingle-tingle like
소문이 참 빨라 또 시끌벅적해
Rumors spread fast, and it’s getting loud again
몰려드는 인파 아, 기분 어떡해
Crowds rush in, ah, I can’t handle this feeling
우리는 뜬구름 운전하지 않아 걱정 마시게
We don’t steer like drifting clouds—no need to worry
시간을 정확히 열일곱 시 열일곱 분 맞춰 놓게
Set the time exactly at 17:17, just right
다 모여봐 날뛰어 보자
Everyone gather, let’s go wild
우리 밤은 뜨거우니까
Our night’s too hot to stay still
그때 마침 Ring Ring 영감도 Ring Ring
Just then, ring ring—ideas spark too
떠올라 마치 번개처럼 번쩍
It flashes like lightning in my head
찌릿찌릿 찌릿찌릿 like
Tingle-tingle, tingle-tingle like
떠올라 마치 번개처럼 번쩍
It strikes like lightning, suddenly flashing
