The K-pop group Billlie (Billlie) faced their true inner selves and announced an expansion of their unique worldview narrative.
Billlie (Shiyoon, Sean, Tsuki, Munsu‑ah, Haram, Soohyun, Haruna) on the 23rd through their official social media unveiled the teaser video for the album track ' no more (Secret No More)' titled 'CARTOGRAPHY OF THE UNCONSCIOUS' from their full-length album the collective soul and unconscious: chapter two.
The released video, produced in the style of 1990s European dark fantasy animation, captivates the eye. Capturing dreamy yet unsettling beauty in abstract images, the video shows Billlie confronting the deep interior of a chaotic unconscious. It sensually depicts the process of accepting hidden emotions as they are and being reborn as a complete 'self,' raising anticipation for the comeback.
In particular, the new song ' no more' implements Billlie's unique take on classical music by crossing the sampled melody of Tchaikovsky's classical masterpiece Swan Lake with trendy trap sounds. Member Munsu‑ah also participated in writing the lyrics, further heightening the song's emotional density and narrative completeness. In addition, the new song—whose title evokes the debut album track 'everybody's got a '—is expected to go a step beyond having asked questions about the 'secret key' in the past and present a high‑quality growth narrative that breaks free from the unconscious.
Moreover, at the end of the video the appearance of a new character related to the album narrative, 'Billie & Lovers,' is hinted at, amplifying curiosity about the further expanded 'Billiverse (Billlie + universe)'.
This full-length album is a work in the continuity of the mini album chapter one released in Feb. 2022. Following the previous work that dealt with the 'occurrence of a fissure,' this album sings of the courage to willingly walk into the deepest core of that fissure. Through a firm stance of steadfastly protecting oneself against external factors, they are set to once again prove their true nature as a conceptual icon.
Meanwhile, Billlie's musically solid worldview condensed in the full-length album the collective soul and unconscious: chapter two will be officially released at 6 p.m. on May 6 through various online music sites.
