What Jeonghan X Joshua Released With DREAMSCAPE

DREAMSCAPE arrived on October 19 at 6 PM KST (5 AM ET), together with the music video for “12 o’clock” on the HYBE LABELS YouTube channel, after a countdown live (KpopFwd). PLEDIS confirmed the release on SEVENTEEN’s official X account and had already posted two title-track teasers on October 17 and 18.

The seven-song tracklist is “Like you,” “12 o’clock” (title track), “Outside,” “One plus one,” “Not personal” (Joshua solo), “Coloring” (Jeonghan solo) and “No looking back,” per Kpop Profiles. The same page lists five physical versions: Daydreamers, Dreamchasers, Dream Record, KiT and Weverse Albums.

The duo’s debut as a unit adds to a year of SEVENTEEN sub-unit releases. The Bias List points to the earlier units DxS (DK and Seungkwan) and V8 (Vernon and The8), and says the full group has been unable to make a comeback while members complete military service. Jirasi covered the V8 side earlier in SEVENTEEN V8 Unit: Vernon and The8 Confirm June 29 Album and July Concerts.

“12 o’clock” MV and Stage Breakdown

The video runs about 2 minutes and 28 seconds and follows the pair as they chase an object of desire between noon and midnight, according to Dipe. Familiar spaces warp into rails crossing a field, a distorted train car and endlessly connected rooms.

The central creature is a made-up blend of a peacock and an ouroboros, which the outlet reads as pursuing ideals while moving between reality and fantasy. UPI describes the song’s story as “falling for a mysterious new love interest who seems so perfect they might be a dream.”

Musically, Dipe calls “12 o’clock” a dance rock song that reinterprets 1970s and 80s disco and punk in a contemporary style, with bouncy bass and rhythmic guitar. Sports Kyunghyang describes it as a modern take on disco and funk with a laid-back sensual mood, and notes the twin looks that changed with each stage.

The duo promoted the song on Mnet M Countdown, KBS2 Music Bank, MBC Show! Music Core and SBS Inkigayo. HYBE LABELS also uploaded a companion video, DREAMSCAPE : BETWEEN TWELVES, which sits below.

Chart Records: Hanteo, Oricon, iTunes and YouTube

The 804,949 first-week copies put DREAMSCAPE at No. 1 on Hanteo’s weekly album chart for October 19 to 25. allkpop headlines the result as a new K-pop unit record, and Star News Korea calls it the highest-selling K-pop unit album in first-week sales.

The first-day figure is the cleaner comparison. Dipe reports that the 650,000-plus copies broke the 600,000 record set by S.Coups and Mingyu last year. Record claims differ by outlet and metric, so this article leans on the figures that the sources agree on.

In Japan, Sports Kyunghyang reports that DREAMSCAPE took No. 1 on Oricon’s Weekly Album Ranking dated November 2 (tally period October 19 to 25) with about 66,000 copies. It also held No. 1 on the Oricon Daily Album Ranking on October 20 and 21, and topped LINE MUSIC’s real-time Album Top 100 and iTunes Japan’s Top Albums.

• Worldwide iTunes Albums: No. 6 on entry (Star News Korea).
• Worldwide iTunes Songs: “12 o’clock” reached No. 34 (Sports Kyunghyang).
• LINE MUSIC Japan Song Top 100: the title track reached No. 9 right after release (Sports Kyunghyang).
• YouTube: the MV passed 10 million views quickly and appeared on the Daily Popular Music Videos chart dated October 19 in South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Canada and the United Kingdom (Star News Korea).

Reports on China’s QQ Music disagree on whether the album ranked first or second on the weekly digital bestseller chart, so that ranking is left out here.

Background: Why the Numbers Matter

SEVENTEEN has 13 members and debuted in 2015. UPI notes that in November 2025 the group became the first K-pop act to perform a Tiny Desk concert for NPR.

Jeonghan and Joshua are signed to PLEDIS Entertainment, part of HYBE. The label’s renewal with the full group is something Jirasi covered in SEVENTEEN Renews With PLEDIS: Why All 13 Members Staying Together Matters for K-Pop.

Joshua also made headlines earlier this year as a speaker at UNESCO headquarters, which we reported in SEVENTEEN’s Joshua to Deliver Historic Speech at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris on June 25.

Sales context also helps. Dipe quotes the line “Jeonghan and Joshua of SEVENTEEN proved their formidable album power,” and the numbers back that up for a two-member unit.

How Fans Are Reacting

Fan reaction so far shows up mostly in the numbers. The Incheon opening concert sold out with only the fan club pre-sale, per Star News Korea, and the MV reached 10 million views early.

Written reaction is more mixed. On The Bias List, one commenter praised the “Charlie Puth-style funk” and the breakdown but found the repeated lyrics a bit much, while another felt a duet B-side would have made a better title track and called the two solos the highlights. The site’s reviewer scored the song 7.75 (grade C+), liking the hooks and production but criticizing the sub-2:30 runtime.

These are comment-section opinions from one site, not a measure of the fandom as a whole. Fan reaction on X and YouTube was not independently checked for this article.

What’s Next for JxJ

The JEONGHAN X JOSHUA JOURNEY INTO [DREAMING] tour covers six cities: Incheon, Saitama, Macao, Taipei, Busan and Hong Kong, per Sports Kyunghyang. Sources disagree on the exact Incheon dates, so check the official PLEDIS notice before booking.

Sports Kyunghyang adds that the second-day show of the Japan concert at Saitama Belluna Dome on November 21 to 22 will be broadcast in Japan and in movie theaters in cities including Korea, the US, Singapore and Mexico. A pop-up store will run at Shibuya Tsutaya in Tokyo from November 6 to 23, selling tour merchandise and Japan-exclusive items. KpopFwd says PLEDIS has also announced online streaming passes for the Incheon concerts.
