At the celebration, member Mingyu shared the meaning behind the title, saying, 'This year marks our 10th anniversary, and since it's our fifth full-length album, we titled it 'Happy Burstday.' It's a celebration of our 10 years and a combination of the words 'burst,' as in explosion or release and 'birthday.'" While members Jeonghan and Wonwoo were absent due to their ongoing military service, the rest of the group delivered a memorable show. The hour-long concert included a total of 12 tracks including songs like Rock With You, God of Music and Very Nice. The night ended with a fireworks display over the Han River. HAPPY BURSTDAY brings together a wide mix of collaborators. Alongside SEVENTEEN's longtime producers Bumzu and Shannon Bae, the album features big names like Pharrell, Timbaland, BTS' longtime producer PDogg and K-indie artist Ha Hyunsang.
