AND2BLE - 1st mini album [Sequence 01: Curiosity] (Curious ver.) limited edition

‘Sequence 01: Curiosity’ Beyond fragmentary appearances, an expansion of the inner self layered upon itself The most perfect frame found at the intersection of all senses, presenting a new benchmark for K-pop [Identity] AND2BLE: Becoming clearer as they accumulate AND2BLE is a five-member rookie boy group consisting of Zhang Hao, Yoo Seung-eon, Ricky, Kim Gyubin, and Han Yujin, a team where members with different personalities and charms come together to create an intense synergy. As an ‘all-rounder group’ where every member possesses both visuals and skill, they have garnered immense anticipation from global fans even before their official debut. The group name AND2BLE is a compound of ‘AND’ and ‘DOUBLE,’ meaning that rather than a fragmentary appearance, various inner selves overlap to expand ‘one's true self.’ It embodies the team's direction to combine the individuality and identity of each member to form a single unique image and establish it as a brand. [1st Drop] ‘Sequence 01: Curiosity’: A record of instinctive curiosity From the moment humans are born, they constantly explore the world, and at the beginning of that process always lies the instinctive emotion of ‘curiosity.’ The subtle attraction felt between the familiar and the unfamiliar, the inexplicable wonder, and the impulse to cross that boundary are the most fundamental driving forces that lead one toward a new world. ‘Sequence 01: Curiosity’ starts from this very point. Standing at the starting line, AND2BLE becomes ‘curiosity’ itself, making one's gaze linger. This album serves as the prologue to the journey AND2BLE will unfold, dealing with ‘curiosity,’ the first instinctive emotion humans encounter. Through the three keywords of attraction, gaze, and fear, it sensually portrays the moment when excitement and wonder toward an unfamiliar world sprout, as well as the subtle inner changes of the members that occur during that process. A sensation that attracts more the more unfamiliar it is, a heterogeneous beauty born from twisting the familiar (Unnatural ver.), a question starting from the self facing the self (Gazed ver.), and a new rhythm created by the impulse to crack the repeated daily routine and a minor deviation (Break ver.). These three perspectives of different textures eventually converge into a single emotion, ‘curiosity,’ completing the beginning of AND2BLE in a three-dimensional way. [Essential] Curious: A fateful attraction beyond boundaries ‘Sequence 01: Curiosity’ contains a total of five songs, including the title track ‘Curious.’ The title track ‘Curious’ is a song that captures the confidence and ambition to fearlessly face the changes that dangerous curiosity may bring at the moment of a new beginning. It is an energetic EDM track combining elements of synth-pop and future house, leaving a strong impression with the harmony of house beats and thick synth bass. Along with this, the album is sufficient to experience AND2BLE's own sophisticated musical color, featuring the sub-title track ‘Aura’ with a sensual and witty mood, ‘Sugar Rush’ expressing an unstoppable attraction, ‘Bed’ where the members' vocal charms can be felt, and the fan song ‘Happy &’ which delicately depicts the excitement and meaning of the moment they came together. The members' names are also noticeable throughout the album credits. Zhang Hao and Ricky participated in writing the lyrics for the title track ‘Curious,’ and Ricky also participated in the lyrics for ‘Aura.’ Furthermore, Zhang Hao and Kim Gyubin are credited for the lyrics of ‘Happy &,’ demonstrating their outstanding musical capabilities from their debut album. [Mise-en-Scène] Movement & Visual: Aesthetics Crafted with Light and Line The performance of the title track ‘Curious’ delivers a visual overwhelm through hip and trendy movements set within a dark atmosphere. The double bass pop sounds placed between intense beats add musical highlights, and the pacing between powerful choreography and weighted steps maximizes the immersion of the performance. This choreography was supported by Casper, who has created choreography for various K-pop artists including EXO’s ‘Ko Ko Bop’, Taemin’s ‘Guilty’, Baekhyun’s ‘Bambi’, and SHINee’s ‘Don’t Call Me’. The music video for the title track visualizes the ‘multi-layered layers’ of AND2BLE, which awaken only through someone's gaze rather than as a single image. By substituting the curious glances cast upon the members with the symbolic device of ‘light,’ the various hidden facets are revealed clearly one by one. In particular, the sophisticated contrast and experimental compositions created by the light vividly imprint AND2BLE's presence. [Archive] Continuum: The Prelude to Infinite Expansion AND2BLE's first sequence is more than a simple beginning; it is the prelude to an endless expansion in search of ‘one's true self.’ These records, starting from the most instinctive curiosity, will gather to become AND2BLE's own unique archive that grows clearer as time passes.
