Alternative pop band The Rose is returning after a year and a half hiatus.
The Rose (Kim Woo-sung, Park Do-joon, Lee Jae-hyung, Ha Jun) will release their new EP 'WRLD' on May 30, marking their comeback after about a year and a half.
'WRLD' is an album that captures the early emotional sound of The Rose and paints a musical journey that combines genre experimentation. It features warm and beautiful melodies, and The Rose's unique music world offers listeners a genuine moment of reflection. This album, which flexibly navigates various genres, goes beyond a simple compilation of music, encapsulating The Rose's musical philosophy towards dreams, challenges, and growth.
The Rose previously made waves with their first full-length album 'HEAL,' which contained stories of healing and reached No. 4 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart, followed by their world tour 'HEAL Together,' which attracted over 90,000 audiences worldwide, and their appearance as headliners at the 2023 Chicago Lollapalooza (Bacardi Stage), making them the first Korean band to grace the Coachella stage in 2024.
The second full-length album 'DUAL,' which conveys the message of authenticity and balance from 'HEAL,' entered the Billboard 200 chart, marking another milestone in the band's growth. The Rose received praise for elegantly expressing duality through music that reflects their unique philosophy.
Having announced their comeback after about a year and a half, The Rose is determined to provide listeners with courage to dream again and comfort for a brighter tomorrow through a musical embrace that shares a message of hope via 'WRLD.'
Additionally, drawing strength from the deep bonds with fans and friendships among members, they plan to continue transcending the boundaries of genres and touching the emotions of music fans worldwide.
Meanwhile, The Rose's new EP 'WRLD,' which explores the themes of self-reflection and growth, will be released at 1 p.m. on May 30 across various online music platforms.
