K-pop boy band Seventeen is gearing up for its return to the spotlight.

The group released a teaser image, featuring lead vocalist S.Coups holding a glass bottle containing a model ship at the beach, on its official social media channels on Monday morning. 

The 13-member act, which is divided into hip-hop, vocal and choreography units, is currently getting ready to unveil a new album next month, according to the boy band’s management agency Pledis Entertainment.

After debuting with its first EP “17 Carat” last year, Seventeen quickly garnered international attention. The five-track album, which features the lead single “Adore U,” was the K-pop album that stayed the longest on the US Billboard Chart in 2015.

Following the release of the repackaged album “Love & Letter” in July, the boy band kicked off its first Asia tour, performing throughout Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and more.

Along with the release of Seventeen’s upcoming album, “Going Seventeen,” on Dec. 5, the group is scheduled to hold more broadcast appearances and promotional activities.
