Semicolon (stylized as ; [Semicolon]) is the eighth Korean extended play (EP) and tenth overall by South Korean boy band Seventeen. It was released through Pledis Entertainment on October 19, 2020, four months after its predecessor, Heng:garæ (2020). The album consists of six tracks, including the lead single "Home;Run", all of which have been co-written by the band members. Sporting a retro sound, Semicolon primarily incorporates dance-pop, funk, pop, acid jazz, and bossa nova, while also experimenting with hip hop, R&B, trap, and jazz elements. Recorded and released as a "special album", the record lyrically reaches out to the youth who are enduring the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, offering comfort and encouragement. Commercially, the album reached number one on South Korea's Gaon Album Chart and number two on the Japanese Oricon Albums Chart. Seventeen promoted the album with televised live performances on several South Korean weekly music programs, including M Countdown, Music Bank, and Inkigayo.
