What do SEVENTEEN's three album versions mean?

Unsurprisingly, SEVENTEEN’s upcoming album also has a few hidden meanings. The album which would be available in three versions have the following names: AM 5:26 version, PM 2:14 version and PM 10:23 version. Now, looking at these numbers some might feel that it has to do something with time or that they are trying to communicate in Morse code. Keen CARATs have noticed and unveiled the real meaning of these timestamps and the secret message by SEVENTEEN is heartwarming for fans who are eagerly waiting for the album to drop.

AM 5:26 version denotes the group’s debut date. SEVENTEEN with the song Adore U on May 26 2015 and since have come a long way. The second version PM 2:14 stands for the their fans’, CARATs’ birthday. The name CARAT was picked for the fandom on Valentine’s Day of 2016 and hence the name of the second version. Lastly,  PM 10:23 is also the release date for SEVENTEENTH Heaven i.e. October 23. All the three versions come with different album art but with the common theme of a carnival or fair. The first version shows an early morning with a cooler tone and a silent carnival. The second has a brighter and sunny vibe with balloons and streamers. The third version looks the most different with a night scene and a darker background with fireworks.
