In the quiet hours when a relationship fades into echoes, there’s a profound ache that words can’t quite capture—only music can. That’s the intimate world 도겸X승관, the vocal powerhouse duo from SEVENTEEN, step into with “Silence,” a track that whispers the pain of unspoken goodbyes from their debut mini album 소야곡 (Serenade). Born from late-night confessions and the duo’s signature emotional depth, it resonates like a heartfelt letter left unread, drawing in CARATs who feel every lingering note. As fans flock to uncover Silence lyrics by 도겸X승관, they’re met with a raw vulnerability that strips away the group’s high-energy facade.

Lyrics of Silence by 도겸X승관 (SEVENTEEN)
[Verse 1]
알겠어 너의 맘도
그 침묵의 의미도
순간 애틋한 이런 마음도
삼켜야지 이 미련도
항상 나누던 일상이 사라져
텅 빈 공백만 맴도는 내 숨결
나의 품 안에서 숨을 잃어가
더 기력조차 없는 헛된 욕심들 [Chorus]
한 번 더 입 맞추고
갖은 이유로 붙잡아도
막다른 이 끝에선 어쩔 수 없단 걸
알았어, 알겠어 모두 [Verse 2]
꽉 채운 달력 한 칸, 우릴 기념하던 Password
아마도 오래 그대로일
홀로가 된 언젠가
한숨 섞인 너의 숨결이 날 조여와 [Pre-chorus]
안녕이라는 짧은 그 한마디
도대체 어떻게 말해야 하는지 [Chorus]
한 번 더 입 맞추고
갖은 이유로 애써봐도
막다른 이 끝에선 어쩔 수 없단 걸
알았어, 알겠어 모두 [Bridge]
Ah, Ooh (알겠어)
Nah, Ooh (Nah, Ooh)
Ah, Ooh (끝이란 걸)
할 말을 이젠 알아
[Chorus]
한 번 더 입 맞추고 (Ooh, Ooh-ooh)
갖은 이유로 붙잡아도 (붙잡아도)
막다른 이 끝에선 (끝에선) 어쩔 수 없단 걸
알았어 (알았어), 알겠어 모두
About “Silence by 도겸X승관 (SEVENTEEN)”
도겸X승관 hush the storm in “Silence,” weaving velvet vocals over subtle strings—a serenade that’s as tender as it is tearing.
Diving into its essence, “Silence” is a poignant ballad laced with R&B undertones, exploring the bittersweet surrender to love’s inevitable end. Themes of reluctant acceptance and swallowed regrets pulse through its veins, evoking a mood that’s equal parts nostalgic haze and quiet devastation. The production, helmed by composers Haedo (PAPERMAKER) and Rouno (KOR), keeps things minimalist: soft piano ripples give way to swelling harmonies, allowing the duo’s interplay—Dokyeom’s warm timbre grounding Seungkwan’s soaring falsetto—to shine without excess. It’s the kind of track that lingers in your chest, perfect for those rainy Seoul evenings when reflection hits hardest.
Serenade marks the inaugural mini album for DxS (도겸X승관), SEVENTEEN’s fresh vocal subunit announced last December, channeling a concept of nocturnal whispers and soul-stirring melodies. With five tracks, including the upbeat title “Blue” and Dokyeom’s solo “Rockstar,” it paints an artistic vision of vulnerability unmasked—intimate stories of longing, loss, and fleeting connections, all delivered through the duo’s impeccable synergy. This isn’t just an extension of SEVENTEEN’s polyphonic prowess; it’s a canvas for their individual growth, blending pop sensibilities with indie-folk introspection to redefine subunit expectations in K-pop.
The album dropped today, January 12, 2026, at 6 PM KST via Pledis Entertainment, capping a teaser rollout that kicked off with highlight medleys in early January and pre-orders surging since mid-December 2025. Collaborators like Haedo and Rouno bring a polished yet personal edge, while official visuals—moody black-and-white aesthetics—tease the emotional core. Early streams on platforms like Spotify and YouTube are already buzzing, with fans pre-saving in droves to catch the full Serenade experience from the jump.
For Dokyeom and Seungkwan, both SEVENTEEN mainstays who’ve dazzled in vocal showcases like Voice Note and Heng:garæ, this subunit feels like a natural evolution amid the group’s packed 2025 world tour and individual ventures. Dokyeom’s recent acting gigs and Seungkwan’s variety show charisma have honed their expressive range, but Serenade spotlights their raw duality—playful energy meets profound pathos. In a discography stacked with anthems like “Don’t Wanna Cry” and “God of Music,” “Silence” carves a niche as their most introspective collab yet, proving the duo’s voices can carry a whole narrative alone. It’s a milestone that underscores SEVENTEEN’s endless reinvention, especially as subunits like BSS continue to thrive.
What elevates “Silence” is its bridge—a haunting vocal ad-lib cascade that mirrors the song’s core tension: knowing the end but craving one last touch. As DxS teases future stages and potential tours, this track cements their bond as more than bandmates; they’re storytellers in harmony, turning personal silences into shared catharsis.
With Serenade heralding a banner year for SEVENTEEN subunits, expect “Silence” to soundtrack countless fan edits and late-night playlists, bridging the gap between idol shine and human heart.
