The group ARrC presents another innovative album.
ARrC (Andy, Choi Han, Do Ha, Hyun Min, Ji Bin, Kien, and Lee Oto) will release their mini-album 'HOPE' on the 16th at 6 p.m. through various music streaming sites.
'HOPE' is the new album that ARrC releases about five months after their mini-album 'nu kidz: out the box,' which was released last February. With the release of unique teasing content, such as snippet drops, ARrC has provided three points highlighting why fans can look forward to their comeback.
#Breaking the mold with new attempts… the arrival of five goblins
ARrC has garnered attention by consistently releasing intense teasing content that contrasts with the album title 'HOPE.' In particular, motifs from traditional masks in Asia and Europe, such as Indonesia's 'Barong,' Portugal's 'Careto,' and Korea's Hahoetal, have been creatively fused into the teasing content, marking a new attempt that hasn't been seen in existing K-pop.
Moreover, true to ARrC's diverse musical exploration, they have previewed unique music that only they can deliver through 'HOPE.' So far, ARrC has revealed snippet drops of three songs from the new album—'night life,' 'kick back,' and 'vitamin I.' Despite being short videos, they boast high addictiveness, maximizing fans' anticipation with the highlight segments of ARrC's unique sound.
#Powerful backing… renowned producers domestically and internationally → 'Sweet Home' writer Hwang Young-chan
'HOPE' also features a lineup of renowned producers from both Korea and abroad, including Benjamin 55 and Stary 55, who have created hit songs collaborating with many K-pop artists such as TWICE, NCT 127, and TOMORROW X TOGETHER, raising expectations for an unprecedented level of quality.
In particular, the original creator of the webtoon that inspired the Netflix hit 'Sweet Home,' Hwang Young-chan, who has recorded over 1.2 billion views, catches attention by showcasing an artwork for ARrC's new album with his stylish and unique drawing sense, completing a special collaboration. In this way, ARrC is increasing the excitement surrounding their comeback, supported not only by music but by a strong support team across all elements of the album.
#Unique ARrC's steps… character IP and unconventional collaborations
Ahead of the album release, ARrC is simultaneously taking unique steps. Recently, they have proven their undeniable local popularity by appearing on Indonesia's prominent terrestrial channels, such as 'Brownis' from Trans TV, the national entertainment program 'Inbox Nite' from SCTV, and 'Dashat Sunday Morning Live' from RCTI. Additionally, they have announced a surprise collaboration with Indonesia's representative character IP 'Karafuru,' constantly pioneering new territories and genres unique to ARrC.
