The group 82MAJOR has finished preparing to captivate global fans with 82MAJOR's own new "style."
82MAJOR held a mini album 5th release showcase for "FEELM" (FEELM) at YES24 Wonderlock Hall in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 28th and talked about the new album.
About six months after releasing the mini 4th album "Trophy" in October last year, 82MAJOR announced their comeback and previewed a distinct charm with a more mature side.
82MAJOR's new release "FEELM" is a word that combines "Feel" and "Film," capturing various moments of emotion as a single film. In particular, all members participated across the album in songwriting, composition and arrangement, cementing their image as a self-producing idol group.
The title track "Sign" features a dreamy melody and restrained beat. It expresses the exchange of emotions and two people growing closer with lyrics describing a "signal between you and me," and showcases 82MAJOR's mature charm through an addictive hook.
Regarding the reason for choosing "Sign" as the title track, Namsung said, "We chose it because we thought we could show our own new style. It's a song that can show our maturity," adding, "Our chorus stuck in my head from the first time I heard it, so I thought we should definitely select it as the title to show it more."
Park Seok-jun said of the point choreography, "There is choreography using the wrist in the chorus; the point is to move it as if the clock hand is passing," and Kim Do-gyun added about the visual point, "For this song we put the point on the keyword of maturity to match the mood. As we tried various approaches and the members suited them and performed well, the music was able to stand out."
Asked what 82MAJOR's style and maturity are, Jo Seong-il replied, "Except for the youngest, we are all the same age and get along very well. Our cooperation and teamwork are good, so it shows whether we're joking around or working on songs. When someone comes up with an idea, we give bold feedback and that seems to result in good music."
Yoon Ye-chan expressed confidence, "We have good visuals and all the members are tall. Not only do we write lyrics, but we also write beats and toplines, so I think that's a distinguishing point," and Park Seok-jun also said, "We like making our own music, we are sincere about creating our music, and being able to genuinely enjoy it seems to be what sets us apart."
When asked which artists they would like to do the new song challenge with, the members said, "We would like to do it with actor Lee Byung-hun. I think our dance and the actions in "Inside Men" are similar, so it might be fun to try once," adding, "Also, BTS's Jungkook reposted our post, so out of gratitude we would like to do it together."
Finally, 82MAJOR said their goal for this promotion is, "Personally, in this promotion and throughout this album we talk a lot about love. We hope this album becomes one where many people can give and receive love after listening to our songs. Our goal is to make people think about the forms of love we talk about," adding, "This comeback season is intense. We want to show our music and performances to many people amid it, achieve good results on music shows and charts, and make more people aware of us."
