Teen, Age (stylized in all caps) is the second studio album by South Korean boy group Seventeen. It was released on November 6, 2017 by Pledis Entertainment with the lead single "Clap".[1] Teen, Age was the group's second number one on the Billboard World Album Charts.[2]

The album was later repackaged as Seventeen's first special album entitled Director's Cut on February 5, 2018, with the title track "Thanks".[3]

Background

In May 2017, Seventeen released the EP Al1 as the first chapter of their "2017 Seventeen Project". Following the release of Al1, Seventeen started the second chapter of the project by releasing "Change Up", a song by the group's respective hip-hop, performance, and vocal team leaders: S.Coups, Hoshi, and Woozi.[4] Three additional songs, "Trauma", "Lilili Yabbay", and "Pinwheel", were released by each of the respective teams as incremental chapters. Teen, Age was then confirmed to be the third and final chapter of the project, comprising the four pre-released songs among others.[5]

Promotion

On October 21, Seventeen released the timeline for the album teasers. The full tracklist was revealed on October 28, with the lead single "Clap", all four previously released songs, and new songs exploring different combinations of the group's members.[6] On October 31, the group revealed they would perform "Clap" for the first time in a TV special with Mnet.[7]

On January 25, 2018, Seventeen announced a repackage of the album titled Director's Cut, which was released on February 5.[8] The track list was revealed on January 29, including five new songs, with the lead single "Thanks".[9]

Commercial performance

Teen, Age surpassed Seventeen's previous album sales records, recording a total of 215,669 albums sold in the first week.[10] The album also reached number one on South Korea's weekly Gaon Chart and was the group's second number one on the Billboard World Album Charts.

Director's Cut similarly proved to be a commercial success, ranking first on South Korea's Hanteo Chart[11] and again on the weekly Gaon Chart.
