In the coset model at levels
, the higher spin 4 current that contains the quartic WZW currents contracted with a completely symmetric SO(2N) invariant d tensor of rank 4 is obtained. The three-point functions with two scalars are obtained for any finite N and
with
. They are determined also in the large N ’t Hooft limit. When one of the levels is the dual Coxeter number of SO(2N),
, the higher spin
current, which contains the septic adjoint fermions contracted with the above d tensor and the triple product of structure constants, is obtained from the operator product expansion (OPE) between the spin
current living in the
superconformal algebra and the above higher spin 4 current. The OPEs between the higher spin
currents are described. For
where both levels are equal to the dual Coxeter number of SO(2N), the higher spin 3 current of U(1) charge
, which contains the six products of spin
(two) adjoint fermions contracted with the product of the d tensor and two structure constants, is obtained. The corresponding
higher spin multiplet is determined by calculating the remaining higher spin
currents with the help of two spin
currents in the
superconformal algebra. The other
higher spin multiplet, whose U(1) charge is opposite to the one of the above
higher spin multiplet, is obtained. The OPE between these two
higher spin multiplets is also discussed.
