Seventeen Surprises Fans with a New Trot Remix Single

K-pop sensation Seventeen has taken fans by surprise by releasing a trot music single titled “God of Light Music”. The track, which debuted on Tuesday, was originally part of the promotional material for their 11th EP, Seventeen's Heaven. The song was also featured in the group's documentary for their YouTube series Going Seventeen, which sparked a strong desire from fans for an official release. Responding to this enthusiasm, Pledis Entertainment confirmed the official rollout of the music.

It performed well internationally too, securing the No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200 and remaining on the chart for five consecutive weeks.
