Bishkek, April 24, 2023. / Kabar /. "FML," boy group Seventeen's 10th EP, has surpassed 4.64 million copies in preorders, becoming the highest-preordered K-pop album of all time, Yonhap reported with reference to the group's agency.

The EP, set to drop at 6 p.m., will be the band's first album since the release of "Sector 17," a repackaged version of its fourth full-length album, in July.

"FML" consists of six tracks, including "F*ck My Life," "Fire," "I Don't Understand But I Luv U" and "April Shower."

The album's name "FML" is short for the slang "F*ck My Life," which also is the title of the main track, according to Pledis Entertainment.

However, the album reinterprets the phrase from a healthy perspective and sublimates it into an active and positive attitude rather than being buried in endless negative thoughts in bad situations, the agency said.
