'Dreaming youth band' Catch the Young (CATCH THE YOUNG) clearly revealed the energy and direction of their first full-length album.
Catch the Young (Kang San-i, Ahn Ki-hoon, Kim Nam-hyun, Lee Jun-yong, Choi Jeong-mo) released a music video teaser for the title track "Amplify" of their first full-length album EVOLVE, which will be released on the 19th, at 12:00 a.m. on the 15th through their official social media channels.
The released video begins with the members moving forward, illuminating the path with a single flashlight in the darkness. Soon after discovering something, the members run out energetically, and scenes of the sound gradually rising and the members unleashing energy on stage are intercut. These directions, aligned with the song's progression, effectively convey the intense sound and dynamic atmosphere of the title track "Amplify," clearly capturing Catch the Young's distinctive youthful energy.
This video is a teaser that visually compresses the flow of "evolving youth" contained in the full-length album EVOLVE. The direction that contrasts darkness and light, stillness and explosion symbolically reveals the time Catch the Young has passed and the direction they will head toward. In particular, scenes reminiscent of live performances foreshadow that "Amplify" will be the song that resonates most powerfully on stage.
The title track "Amplify" is a 2026-style new wave rock track based on the YOUTH pop-rock identity Catch the Young established with their debut song "YOUTH!!!." By minimizing programming elements and putting the members' performances and band groove at the forefront, it maximizes the energy that can be felt directly at live shows. The keyword "Amplify" also symbolizes the moment when music, stage and audience breath become one and intensify.
Catch the Young's first full-length album EVOLVE is a record that condenses the time and experience Catch the Young accumulated through two mini albums and numerous singles. Centered on YOUTH pop-rock, it captures the anxiety and instability, growth and hope that youth face with a more expanded sound.
The stage experience built up through performances at major festivals such as Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival, Jeonju Ultimate Music Festival (JUMF), and Sound Planet, as well as various college festivals, solo concerts and street busking since their debut, is also fully reflected in this full-length album.
Meanwhile, Catch the Young will hold a solo concert "THE REAL PROUD: Rolling 31st anniversary performance" at Hongdae Rolling Hall on the 16th, then release their first full-length album EVOLVE on the 19th and begin full-scale activities.
