DKZ 6th Single Album
'CHASE EPISODE 2. MAUM'
DKZ 6th Single Album [CHASE EPISODE 2. MAUM]
● A balance between change and original intentions. From DONGKIZ to DKZ, but the team color remains the same.
● While 'CHASE EPISODE 1. GGUM' was a story of boys growing while chasing their dreams, 'CHASE EPISODE 2. MAUM' is a narrative of unrequited love where hearts are stolen while chasing love.
Since their debut in April 2019, DKZ has been expanding their musical and performance spectrum by challenging and mastering a unique musical atmosphere and various concepts. Now, they have returned with a new team name and new members.
The overarching concept of this album, which marks the first start as a more matured DKZ, is 'Boys who move the heart.' If the first series of 'CHASE,' released on July 1st last year, was a story about living life happily while chasing 'GGUM (Dream),' the second series 'MAUM (Heart)' being released now is a story of DKZ growing into boys who move (capture, or are captured by) the hearts of others.
The title track of this album, 'Cupid,' releasing on April 12th, expresses its entire meaning in a single line of lyrics:
'You appeared without a word and took all my heart...'
Boys who have fallen into a fateful love after being hit by Cupid's arrow. The conductor who wrote their love story and melody is Cray bin, who took charge of producing once again following 'CRAZY NIGHT,' the title track of 'CHASE EPISODE 1. GGUM.' The magician who expressed the feeling of having one's heart stolen by falling in love in an instant through choreography is, once again, Performance Director Bae Wan-hee, who worked on DKZ's previous tracks such as LUPIN, FEVER, and Universe.
The first album presented to the public by DKZ, now reorganized as a 6-member group. This album, where change and original intentions coexist, can be said to be the album that best expresses DKZ's musical concept while incorporating new members.
