소야곡 (Serenade) Lyrics & Tracklist – DK X Seungkwan (DxS)

소야곡 (Serenade) is the debut mini‑album by DK X Seungkwan, the new vocal sub‑unit of the South Korean boy group SEVENTEEN, collectively known as DxS. This project marks the duo’s first official release as a unit, showcasing their vocal strengths and emotional depth across a compact but expressive set of songs. The album was released on January 12, 2026 at 6 PM KST, with “Blue” selected as the title track. The project blends pop, ballad, R&B, and light rock influences, and centers on themes of love, parting, and nocturnal reflection. The concept of the album—confirmed by teasers and trailers prior to release—frames the work as a “love song sung at night,” evoking quiet intimacy and heartfelt storytelling. The unit’s aesthetic for this release leans toward understated romantic visuals and cinema‑like narratives that emphasize emotional resonance rather than performance choreography. Serenade was published under Pledis Entertainment and distributed through multiple formats including physical CD, KiT, QR, and digital platforms.

Release and Musical Style

Released on January 12, 2026, Serenade presents a collection of six tracks that allow DK and Seungkwan to explore vocal interplay and personal expression outside the traditional larger SEVENTEEN group setup. The record features solo performances for each member alongside collaborative tracks, moving through mid‑tempo pop, ballads, and expressive R&B textures. The title track “Blue” is a ballad that channels emotive lyrics and cinematic vocal delivery, while other songs like “Rockstar” (DK Solo) and “Dream Serenade” (Seungkwan Solo) highlight each vocalist’s individual style. Across the album, arrangements vary from harmonically rich pop balladry to more rhythmically driven compositions, reflecting a thematic cohesion centered on affection, introspection, and connection under the metaphorical night sky.
