Close Your Eyes (CLOSE YOUR EYES, Jeon Min-wook, Majin Siang, Jang Yeo-jun, Kim Seong-min, Song Seung-ho, Kenshin, Seo Kyung-bae) raised anticipation for their comeback with a teaser featuring Imanbek.
Label Uncore released a music video teaser for "SOB (with Imanbek)", one of the double title tracks from Close Your Eyes' third mini album blackout, on its official YouTube channel at 8 p.m. on Oct. 29.
The released video begins with Close Your Eyes looking up at a lightning-filled sky, immediately commanding attention. As the camera zooms out, Kenshin's blue eyes are revealed, and scenes of the group delivering a powerful performance of "SOB" amid lightning follow in quick succession, showing rapid shifts between reality and imagination.
Imanbek wearing his signature mask also makes a surprise appearance. His silhouette filling the black sky created a mysterious and dreamy mood, and Close Your Eyes dancing to the song's sensuous beat made it impossible to look away even for a moment.
The video ends with Jeon Min-wook jumping from a building rooftop and falling into an X-shaped intersection, amplifying anticipation for another title track, "X," to be released later and leaving a more intense aftertaste than ever.
"SOB" is a collaboration with Kazakh DJ Imanbek, who has a Grammy Award, and as his first K-pop collaboration it is drawing even greater expectations from music fans worldwide. The provocative confidence expressed in the line "You will cry because you want to be like me" is powerfully conveyed through the word "SOB," meaning to cry.
At 8 p.m. that day the full music video for "SOB (with Imanbek)" will be released, set to further raise the heat surrounding the new album blackout.
Close Your Eyes' third mini album blackout will be released on music platforms at 6 p.m. on Nov. 11.
