The album name FML stands for F*ck My Life, which is slang that is commonly used to lament or blame oneself’s life. But seventeen will present it with a positive and overcoming attitude rather than being buried in negative thoughts in bad situations.

As per schedule, Seventeen has released the official photos of two concepts so far. Official photo: Fallen, Misfit, Lost released on 12 April portrays members’ sentimental vibe. The Fallen, Misfit, and Lost version expresses the inner self “me” sinking in water with a reflection of their face; meanwhile, in other photos gazing at the camera and looking elsewhere provides a melancholy environment.

The second concept of the Official photo: Faded, Mono, Life, released on 13 April, portrays stuck in a routine vibe. Seventeen shows boring and repetitive daily life through each object of an office, and members saw working on the office computer or printers as if confined to work.

The concept gives a very motivating vibe which everyone in life right now. Carats are profound in the last commentary of the vide,”, “Inspired From People Around The World.” This very line is making Carats anticipate the album release more.
