High-energy 2015 K-pop defined by funky basslines, theatrical group shouts, and the uncontainable optimism of thirteen voices finding their collective rhythm.

Boys Be is the sound of a group realizing their own power. Released during SEVENTEEN's rookie year, it carries a frantic, infectious energy that is rare even in the high-octane world of K-pop. The album is anchored by the title track Mansae, which utilizes a blend of funk-pop and hip-hop to create a theatrical, almost stadium-sized atmosphere. It feels like a collective exhale of youth, full of bright brass-synths, driving percussion, and the kind of group-shouted choruses that demand participation.
