SEVENTEEN makes a comeback in 2017, opening the beginning of a new era!
The album 'Al1' shows the hardships and deep friendship of Seventeen members. The
title song 'I Don't Want to Cry' opens the 'age of sorrow' in which a boy faces and overcomes sadness!

Seventeen, a group that has solidified its position as a trending idol at home and abroad with modifiers such as refreshing idol and self-produced idol, returns with a new look with the first album 'Al1' released in 2017 on May 22nd. Seventeen's first album 'Al1', which opens this year in 2017 with the same name as their name, contains Seventeen's new charm that exceeds expectations.

'Al1' contains another stage of a boy's growth that Seventeen has shown in the albums released over the past two years. If Seventeen's songs such as 'I adore', 'Mansae', 'Pretty', 'Very Nice', and 'Boom Boom' are stories about a boy getting to know the feelings of love, then 'I Don't Wanna Cry' is the first deep emotion I felt in my life. It's a song about sad moments. When the moment came when he might lose someone who was the boy's entire life, he expressed his despair and pure heart that he never wanted to lose with the words 'I don't want to cry'. While maintaining the pure feelings of a boy that Seventeen has shown so far, it reveals a deeper side. In order to show such deep emotions, "I Don't Want to Cry" was also the first time Seventeen tried EDM in earnest. The synthesizer containing lyrical sensibility and the intense beat intersect, expressing Seventeen's heart that seems to shed tears but does not want to cry. In particular, the beat that catches the listener's ears between sad emotions is fascinating. 'Al1' will include 6 new songs including 'I Don't Want to Cry'.

Also, 'Al1' and 'I Don't Want to Cry' announce the start of the 'Seventeen Project' that will continue for Seventeen in 2017. The individual video teaser released by Seventeen before the comeback is a start for this. Like the name of the album 'Al1', the story of each member, who is 'Alone (1)', is unraveled in a mysterious atmosphere. This is also the beginning of Seventeen's story that will continue in the future, as it connects to the emotions of a lonely and sad boy in 'I Don't Want to Cry'. The 'Age of Sorrow' opens when boys who learn about the emotion of sadness face that emotion and spend a period of their youth. Attention is focusing on what kind of story Seventeen will develop starting with 'Al1'.

Also, another point to watch for 'I Don't Want to Cry' is the performance that shows the highest level of perfection in Seventeen's history. As a self-produced idol group, Seventeen, which has already shown many excellent performances, is expected to show an unconventional performance that surpasses all previous songs in 'I Don't Want to Cry'. In order to capture the members' sadness and the process of overcoming it together in the emotion of 'I don't want to cry', we prepared a unique composition reminiscent of modern dance and a group dance with amazing perfection. The music video was also filmed in Los Angeles, USA with great care to convey Seventeen's emotions from the performance. You can look forward to the growth of Seventeen, which has greeted a new era of change while maintaining the members' strong friendship, self-production, and performance.
