Seventeen to end ‘Power of Love’ with first Japanese winter single ‘Ai No Chikara’

Seventeen's 'Power of Love' project explored different kinds of love with 'Bittersweet', 'Your Choice' and 'Attacca'

Seventeen’s ambitious project of the year ‘Power of Love’ is about to come to an end with the end of 2021. The K-pop group had revealed that their latest musical project would explore the different kinds of love in different ways. They launched the project with the sub-unit single ‘Bittersweet’ that was made by Wonwoo and Mingyu. The melancholic single was then followed by their first Korean comeback of the year ‘Your Choice’. The cheery and fun album was perfect for the summer as the group sang about young love. Well, now they’re set to end it with their first Japanese winter single ‘Ai No Chikara’.

The 13-member group recently came back with their second comeback of 2021 ‘Attacca’. While ‘Your Choice’ was bright, the ‘Attacca’ album's title track ‘Rock with you’ is a rock-tinged song as the boys sing about passionate love. The album’s name itself means to ‘take the next step’ in Latin. But after the bold and vivacious type of love, Seventeen has decided to end the ‘Power of Love’ project with a soft and festive single perfect for the holiday season. It should be noted that ‘Ai No Chikara’ itself means ‘Power of Love’ in Japanese.
