You don't have to wait until October to hear new music from Seventeen! The boy group will release a new single tomorrow. And although every song of Seventeen is something special, this is a very special project: This time the boy group collaborates with the US boy band "New Kids on the Block" (NKOTB)!

A few hours ago, NKOTB uploaded a short teaser for the collaboration on Twitter, causing a real storm of excitement!

The comments under the tweet show general excitement and anticipation for the upcoming collaboration. Fans from both fandoms share their enthusiasm about the unexpected collaboration and speculate about the nature of the project as well as the musical direction.

Many Seventeen fans also mentioned that their parents are fans of New Kids on the Block, so they are looking forward to the single together. This collaboration is already uniting generations!

"New Kids on the Block" (NKOTB) is a US boy band formed in the late 1980s.

The group consists of members Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight and Jonathan Knight. They were known for their catchy pop and R&B hits, as well as their influence on the pop culture of the time.

With hits like "Step by Step" and "Hangin' Tough", they gained international notoriety and had a significant role in the development of the boy band era of the 1990s. Although they took a break in between, they have made several comebacks and still tour from time to time.

Seventeen is a South Korean K-pop boy group formed in 2015 by Pledis Entertainment.

It has 13 members: S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino. Seventeen stands out for their versatility, as the members not only perform as singers and dancers, but also participate in the production of their music. Their music spans a variety of genres, from pop and R&B to hip-hop. With hits such as "Pretty U", "Don't Wanna Cry" and "Left & Right", they have gained a wide international fan base and are considered one of the leading groups in K-pop.

The boy group is currently preparing for a comeback in October, so we didn't expect to hear anything new from the guys just yet. But of course we are very happy about the news!

It is not the first collaboration of Seventeen with a US artist.

Among others, the singer PinkSweat$ released the song "17" almost three years ago, which also featured Joshua and DK of Seventeen:
