Jang Hao, Ricky, a person surnamed Kim, Han Yujin and Yoo Seung-eon re-debuted as Andble, not ZEROBASEONE or EVNNE.
Andble held a mini album showcase for Sequence 01: Curiosity at 6:00 p.m. on the 26th at the Blue Square WOORI WON Banking Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, where they shared their debut impressions.
Jang Hao said, "I always thought about the importance of the stage and the importance of the fans while preparing for our debut, and today I am thrilled and nervous to finally be able to present it officially. I am confident we can show many different charms, so I hope you look forward to it."
Yoo Seung-eon also said, "I am happy to debut with the members I trained with. I am looking forward to the stages ahead. What I look forward to most is being able to meet the fans again. I want to keep making good memories with the fans."
Andble is a boy group YH Entertainment is presenting after about four years, composed of Jang Hao and Ricky, Kim Gyubin and Han Yujin, who were active as ZEROBASEONE, and Yoo Seung-eon, who was active as EVNNE.
Jang Hao said, "When I heard that the five of us would become a team as Andble, the first thing I thought was that the member composition is really good. Because we all have a lot of stage experience, I thought we would be skilled on stage and understand the importance of the stage better."
Yoo Seung-eon said, "If we build things well among ourselves, I thought a really cool team would be born. I felt that we could make a mark in K-pop and make history. Because we have been practicing together since trainee days for a long time, we can do even better," showing confidence.
Andble's debut album Sequence 01: Curiosity opens the prologue to the journey Andble will unfold, dealing with "curiosity," the instinctive emotion humans encounter first. Andble signaled they will infinitely expand the multiplicity of inner selves into being true to themselves, portraying the moment when excitement and curiosity toward an unfamiliar world begin to sprout, and is expected to depict the subtle inner changes of the members that occur in that process.
Regarding the part he paid the most attention to, Yoo Seung-eon said, "I practiced hard aiming to be a main vocal representing the fifth generation. I will work really hard from now on to become a cool artist," and Kim Gyubin answered, "I tried to refine myself both outwardly and inwardly by practicing and exercising every day. I hope this opportunity becomes a chance to make a strong impression."
Han Yujin, who will soon become an adult, added, "I paid attention to raising the album's quality. There were many songs in the style I was personally confident in, so I tried to show a more mature side."
The title track Curious was co-written by members Jang Hao and Ricky and conveys the confidence and aspiration to face without fear the changes that dangerous curiosity at the moment of a new beginning may bring. It is an energetic EDM track that blends synth-pop and future house elements, boasting a powerful, unforgettable addictiveness from the combination of house beats and thick synth bass.
On this album, Jang Hao, Ricky and Kim Gyubin participated in writing the lyrics, adding sincerity. Ricky said, "I participated in writing the title track and the second track. The two songs have different moods, so I tried to write lyrics that would better bring out each song's atmosphere. I tried to find expressions that are easy for each of us to pronounce."
Jang Hao said, "I participated in writing the last track of the title song and tried to write lyrics that fit our current situation well. I worked hard on it for a long time," and Kim Gyubin said, "I participated in the last track, and as it is a fan song, I incorporated the message we want to convey to the fans and promises for the future."
Those who had lived together as trainees for a long time said they became even closer by debuting as one team. Kim Gyubin said, "We met at a young age since trainee days and grew up together, so we talk a lot and have been through many things. While preparing for the debut, we were nervous and preparing with the mindset of people facing a new beginning, so there were worries about whether we could do well, but as we practiced together, the worries turned into anticipation. Because we all have the keyword family in our heads, it was a time to strengthen teamwork."
Regarding Andble's unique strengths, Jang Hao expressed confidence, saying, "The five of us each have distinct personalities and strengths. I think when we come together as a team we create greater synergy. The fact that our harmony fits well seems to be our big charm," and Yoo Seung-eon said, "I think our team's strengths are the members' closeness and sincerity toward the stage. Through our own unity, teamwork has become stronger. It is a strength that our energy and the team's color are naturally conveyed to the fans."
Finally, for the goal of this promotion, Ricky said, "I want to win rookie of the year this year. My ultimate goal is to remain a group representing our generation."
Meanwhile, Andble will release the mini album Sequence 01: Curiosity on various music sites at 6 p.m. today (the 26th) and begin promotions.
