[OSENWORLD] The wait is nearly over for SEVENTEEN’s special unit S.Coups x Mingyu, who have kicked off a full countdown campaign leading up to the release of their first mini album HYPE VIBES.

On September 4 at 10 p.m. KST, their agency Pledis Entertainment (under HYBE Labels) unveiled the promotion scheduler on SEVENTEEN’s official social channels, outlining a weeks-long rollout of content.

The schedule begins with two sets of official photos (“BUDDY” and “COMBI” versions) on Sept. 8–9, followed by the tracklist (Sept. 12), a track sampler (Sept. 16), and a highlight medley (Sept. 22). Music video teasers are slated for Sept. 25–26 before the full album and title track video arrive on Sept. 29 at 6 p.m. KST.

Adding to the buzz are two quirky alien mascots, Koote and Mante. First introduced in the trailer, their silhouettes appear on the scheduler itself, teasing the playful, free-spirited concept S.Coups and Mingyu are aiming for.

The title HYPE VIBES captures the duo’s outlook: a hot, unrestrained energy where everyone can join in and connect. Rather than following fixed rules, the pair embrace the moment and move to their own rhythm. Already well-known for their impact in music, fashion, and beauty, the two are poised to bring a fresh dynamic to SEVENTEEN’s universe.

Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN as a full group continues its world tour. They’ll open SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] with two massive shows at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on Sept. 13–14, followed by Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium on Sept. 27–28. The tour then expands to five cities across North America in October, before heading to four major domes in Japan from November through December.
