The group HIGHLIGHT sparked anticipation for their comeback by releasing their first concept photo along with the pre-release song.
HIGHLIGHT (Yoon Doo-joon, Yang Yo-seob, Lee Gi-kwang, Son Dong-woon) unveiled the first Real A version concept photo of their sixth mini album, 'From Real to Surreal,' through their official social media at midnight on the 17th.
In the photo, HIGHLIGHT radiates an unattainable atmosphere against a backdrop reminiscent of an office. The members showcased their extraordinary charm through styling and poses using items like glasses, ties, and mobile phones while wearing sophisticated suits.
HIGHLIGHT's intellectual charm captures attention in the serious and restrained mood. Yoon Doo-joon and Lee Gi-kwang portrayed a scene from everyday life with witty gestures, such as adjusting their ties or touching their ears, while Yang Yo-seob and Son Dong-woon exuded a unique presence with a lethal yet relaxed pose. The harmonious chemistry among the members also heightens curiosity about the new concept.
Previously, HIGHLIGHT garnered intense responses by pre-releasing the song 'Endless Ending' under the name BEAST on the 16th. 'Endless Ending' ranked second on the HOT100 chart within 30 days of its release on Melon and secured a spot on the Melon TOP100 chart as of 8 a.m. on the 17th. It also entered the top ranks of real-time charts such as Genie and Bugs, with keywords like 'HIGHLIGHT,' 'BEAST,' and 'Endless Ending' rising consecutively on Melon's real-time trending keywords, proving the unwavering popularity of HIGHLIGHT and BEAST.
'Endless Ending' appeared on the top song charts in eight regions, including Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, Macau, Vietnam, Thailand, and Japan, showcasing HIGHLIGHT's global strength.
HIGHLIGHT's sixth mini album, 'From Real to Surreal,' includes a total of four tracks: the title track 'Chains,' the pre-release song 'Endless Ending,' and 'Good Day to You' and 'Follow Me.' Among these, 'Endless Ending' is the first new song released under the name BEAST for the first time in nine years, following HIGHLIGHT's announcement of the trademark agreement last year, and it has received positive reviews for capturing their most confident colors and emotions in the ballad genre.
Meanwhile, HIGHLIGHT's sixth mini album, 'From Real to Surreal,' will be released on the 28th at 6 p.m.
