YOUNITE HYUNGSEOK shared his determination and the preparation process for the group’s first comeback after transferring labels.

 

YOUNITE held a showcase at NOL Theater Hapjeong Dongyang Life Hall on the 12th to celebrate the release of their new song ‘POSE! (姿態).’ On this day, HYUNGSEOK explained the process of preparing for their first comeback after the transfer.

 

Regarding their first comeback after transferring agencies, HYUNGSEOK said, “This is an album that includes a lot of our opinions, so because we wanted to do even better, the seven of us talked a lot and prepared hard.” EUNHO added, “We tried to communicate a lot with the company, and the company also tried to listen to our opinions a lot, so that preparation process was quite fun,” adding, “Compared to before, it felt like we were creating our own thing, so I think that was the difference.”

 

DEY, who is credited on the B-side track ‘Savior,’ said, “It is a song that captures the moment of confirming that we are eventually connected even amid different signals, breaking boundaries, and moving beyond limits,” adding, “I participated in the work together with HYUNGSEOK, and every time I take part in making a song, I feel grateful and want to do more in the future.”

 

Regarding the current status of EUNSANG, who halted activities last year due to health issues, EUNHO said, “EUNSANG still seems to need recovery, so we decided that he would rest for this promotion as well,” adding, “It was our first album prepared by seven members, and I think we worked even harder because we felt that even as seven, we couldn’t show any empty space.”

 

HYUNGSEOK said, “Since this album includes many songs that we chose and discussed together with the company, my satisfaction with this album is 4.8 out of 5,” adding, “I’ll leave 0.2 points for the future.” WUNO shared, “All the songs on this album are so good that I want to give it 10 out of 10.”

 

Since debuting in April 2022, YOUNITE has drawn a rare growth curve by surpassing its previous records with every album, renewing its initial chodong sales for seven consecutive releases. YOUNITE, which recorded initial chodong sales of 21,687 copies with its 1st mini album ‘YOUNI-BIRTH,’ proved nearly sevenfold growth from debut by achieving initial chodong sales of 147,433 copies with its 7th mini album ‘YOUNI-T,’ released in April last year. In particular, this new release holds added meaning as the group’s first album since transferring to PARAMUSIC, a K-pop-specialized label under BRANDNEW MUSIC, marking a new beginning.

 

YOUNITE’s 8th mini album ‘INYUN Part.1’ expresses the feeling of connection that exists somewhere between fate and coincidence as ‘inyun,’ capturing the moment different beings become connected as one. The title track ‘POSE! (姿態)’ portrays the instant when an unseen connection is revealed, and signals YOUNITE’s further expanded worldview through restrained energy and dense sounds.

 

YOUNITE’s 8th mini album ‘INYUN Part.1’ will be released today at 6 PM through various online music platforms. Attention is focused on whether YOUNITE, opening a new chapter with their first comeback after transferring labels, will break their previous record once again and achieve an 8th consecutive renewal of their initial chodong sales.
