Following their two-night concert in Macao’s Olympic Sports Center Stadium, K-pop boyband SEVENTEEN has introduced a new Chinese original single called ‘The Meaning of Meeting.’ The song was performed live during the concert and was simultaneously released on Chinese music streaming platforms as a separate digital single.
‘The Meaning of Meeting’ marks the band’s first official Chinese song as a group, though SEVENTEEN members The8 and Jun have previously released solo tracks in their native tongue. Before this debut, the band had come up with Chinese versions of Korean singles like ‘Highlight’, ‘Oh My!’, and ‘Home.’ Meanwhile, members Joshua, The8, Mingyu, Vernon, and Jun collaborated on the soundtrack single titled ‘Warrior’ for the Chinese TV series Falling Into Your Smile.
SEVENTEEN’s Chinese song opens with a poignant chorus that goes, “You were with me through thick and thin. I’ve gotten more courage than I could ever need. Walking in lockstep, a beautiful spectacle, it all makes my heart pound. You’ve always believed, I’ve always believed, that the sky would clear up again.”
The band recently made headlines after they graced NME’s list of the 25 best K-pop songs for ‘Super,’ a track that featured in their April 2023 mini-album ‘FML.’ The same record bagged the boyband their first Daesang at the 2023 MAMA Awards for Album of the Year, alongside two other accolades: Best Male Group and Best Dance Performance Male Group
