Boy group Seventeen will drop a special album “; [Semicolon]” on Oct. 19.

The group’s agency Pledis Entertainment released the name of the new album as well as a trailer video through its official social media channels on Monday. The group’s most recent song release was in June.

In the video, members appear dressed in suits with fedora hats and start opening an invitation. They react by cheering with glasses of beer or throwing their fedoras in the air.

The video, which is titled “The Invitation for Youth ‘; [Semicolon]’” shows the phrases “Work Hard,” “Play Hard” and “Rest Hard” in a bid to encourage viewers to keep going.
