YOUNITE EUNHO wished for the baseball team he supports to win and for the comeback album to become a hit.

 

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, EUNHO shared his support for the Hanwha Eagles and his hopes for the album’s success.

 

EUNHO, who threw the first pitch for the Hanwha Eagles last month, said, “It was a schedule I was so happy about because I’m a fan of the Hanwha Eagles,” adding, “But if I had to choose between the two, I would choose ‘INYUN’ becoming a hit over the Hanwha Eagles winning.” His answer brought laughter to the scene. SION, who joined him as the ceremonial batter, added, “I think he chose the album becoming a hit because EUNHO already believes Hanwha will win, so he probably thinks Hanwha will naturally win even if he chooses the album.”

 

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.

 

Regarding the title track, KYUNGMUN introduced it by saying, “It captures a single pose where two different worlds overlap within one frame, and it is a song where you can see a new YOUNITE with a different texture from before.” WUNO added, “It is a song we prepared with the determination to show a new YOUNITE through dense sounds, restrained energy, and delicately expressed performance.”

 

EUNHO explained the album, saying, “This is an album that marks a new turning point for YOUNITE,” adding, “The reason it is inyun, not fate or coincidence, is because even if we exist in different times and spaces, we believe a single connection is created in the moment we briefly overlap, and this is a song that captures that connection.” He continued, “It also contains YOUNITE’s determination to connect with many people.”

 

Regarding how it felt to reveal the performance for the first time, HYUNGSEOK said, “It’s a song we prepared for a long time, so I’m happy that we were able to show it successfully.” STEVE shared, “I feel relieved,” adding, “I really wanted to show it quickly.” As for the point choreography, WUNO introduced it by saying, “There is a pose where we take a picture with a camera, and that movement is the point choreography.”

 

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.
