Members of ARrC shared their thoughts on their mini-album comeback.
On the afternoon of 16th, a media showcase to celebrate the release of ARrC's (Andy, Choi Han, Do Ha, Hyun Min, Ji Bin, Kkien, Riot) third mini-album 'HOPE' took place at the public hall of SBS Prism Tower in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.
Leader Hyun Min said, "We are honored to greet you with a great album 'hope' after our mini-album 2. I am pleased to present good music and videos to the fans who have waited long. We will work harder and become an ARrC that continues to develop."
Do Ha noted, "I am so excited, nervous, and happy that we can meet you with new music. Through this activity, we will work hard to establish ourselves as representatives of the fifth generation of K-pop and become global Generation Z icons."
'HOPE' is an album that talks about 'hope,' an emotion that becomes stronger through consolidation, even amidst the imperfections and repetitive realities of youth. The title track 'awesome' is a hype chant track that modernizes the early 2000s hip-hop vibe, capturing ARrC's musical sense and vibe that transforms even the misfortunes of daily life into something pleasant.
Choi Han explained, "We captured the complex feelings of youth honestly and deeply. It was inspired by the song 'HOPE' of the Canadian band Klaatu. It is an album reimagined with the message that hope blossoms amid complex emotions and grows stronger when we are together." Hyun Min also expressed confidence, saying, "I can say that every track is like a title track because we worked hard to create high-quality music."
Meanwhile, ARrC's third mini-album 'HOPE' will be released on music streaming sites at 6 p.m. on the 16th.
