The group Kep1er announced a major transformation ahead of their comeback.
Their agency KLEB has been raising expectations day after day by consecutively releasing a concept film and photos on its official SNS that offer a glimpse of Kep1er's new album "CRACK CODE (Crack Code)" atmosphere.
In the first concept film, which opens with member Xiaoting's dreamy gaze and a powerful start, Kep1er (Choi Yujin, Xiaoting, Kim Chaehyun, Kim Dayeon, Hikaru, Huening Bahiyyih) previewed a strong, impactful mood even amid a disheveled atmosphere, immediately capturing attention from the start.
Then Huening Bahiyyih, Kim Chaehyun, Choi Yujin, Hikaru and Kim Dayeon's intense gazes consecutively ripple across the camera. And Kim Dayeon's rough shouting, as if screaming, breaks the silence and the atmosphere reverses in an instant, conveying a message as if awakening the hidden instincts of the inner self within an anxious gaze.
This mood of the concept film continues into the first concept photo, the "LOCKED" version, foreshadowing Kep1er's provocative visual transformation. True to the photo's name, it visually makes clear that the inner self is locked in a state where anxiety and a wavering heart are condensed.
In the released comeback photos, Kep1er instantly captures attention with unexpected styling that shows a "different savory charm." Styling that uses see-through, straps and cutout details completes a more transformed visual, and the six members' body lines, perfectly revealed by the light, announce a bolder, shocking transformation.
In this way, Kep1er reaches a peak of charm with provocative see-through fashion, attempting a "shadow chic look," showing the mood and direction they will present in the new release and hinting at a different transformation on stage.
Earlier, Kep1er made a major announcement of their reorganization into a six-member lineup — Choi Yujin, Xiaoting, Kim Chaehyun, Kim Dayeon, Hikaru and Huening Bahiyyih — and grabbed attention by previewing a deeper aura than their previously bright, energetic image through spoiler posters and comeback posters.
Through this concept film and photos, the bold transformation that daringly shows silhouettes creates a stylish mood and tension at the same time, making one anticipate their evolution.
Kep1er, returning seven months after their seventh mini album "BUBBLE GUM," will release the new album "CRACK CODE" at 6 p.m. on March 31 through various music sites.
