HYBE Global Group &TEAM is showcasing an even stronger presence, raising fans' expectations for their Korean debut.
&TEAM posted the concept clip and the photo "BREATH" version for their Korean mini album 1st 'Back to Life' on their official social media on the 13th. Symbolically capturing the "moment of awakening" of rising again after trials, it is content that condenses &TEAM's instinct to challenge.
In the concept clip, the nine members (Uiju, Huma, K, Nicholas, Yuma, Jo, Harua, Taki, Maki) exhale rough breaths against the backdrop of a fight club. Scenes of collapsing as if exhausted and then getting back onto the ring show the boys' narrative of turning wounds and adversity into growth energy.
Lighting that sharply contrasts light and dark and styling using wild materials like leather and metal combine to complete &TEAM's strong yet restrained visuals. The nine members' gazes facing each other in the ring reveal the team's cohesion and conviction and visually embody &TEAM's identity symbolized by "wolf DNA."
&TEAM will release additional concept photos and clips for 'Back to Life' from the 14th to the 17th. Then a track sampler on the 20th, a track list on the 21st, and a highlight medley on the 22nd will be unveiled in sequence. The title song's audio and music video will be pre-released on the 27th, and the Korean mini album 1st 'Back to Life' will be released worldwide at 6 p.m. on the 28th.
&TEAM debuted in Japan in 2022 as HYBE's first localized group overseas. Their third single released in April, 'Go in Blind,' surpassed cumulative shipments of 1 million copies and received a "million certification" from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (as of July).
