Several months after said release, it was revealed that SEVENTEEN is poised to make a comeback with their 11th mini-album, "Seventeenth Heaven," set to launch on October 23, 2023 (6:00 p.m. KST). This mini-album will contain 7 songs in total.
The initial announcement of their return was made on September 20 via a promotional video featuring a red wristband with the name of the new mini-album. This sparked a flurry of speculation among their fanbase, CARATS, who started theorizing about a potential worldwide concert tour that could include Mexico, other Latin American countries, and Europe.
Seventeenth Heaven will be showcased in three distinct versions, titled 5:26 AM, 2:14 PM, and 10:23 PM. Each version symbolizes a different phase of a music festival, corresponding to the timeline indicated in its title.
The 5:26 AM version portrays the festival's break of dawn, while the 2:14 PM version captures the peak moments of the celebration. On the other hand, the 10:23 PM version commemorates the end of the festival, complete with fireworks illuminating the night sky.
