ODDWAVE (Oddwave) rookie boy group DAILY:DIRECTION (Daily:Direction, D:D) amplified curiosity with a fresh promotion ahead of their first comeback.
According to the tracklist of DAILY:DIRECTION's (DAILY:DIRECTION, Jang Yoonseok, Lim Jihwan, Kim Joohyoung, Lee Wonwoo, E-VAN, En Kim) second single "MONKEY MODE" released on their official SNS on the afternoon of the 3rd, the title track "DOWN WITH IT" and the included track "TRAPPED" were both included, for a total of two songs.
This tracklist was planned as a continuation of the cartoon content previously presented as the first comeback promotion, showing a natural flow with the earlier promotion. The released video drew attention as the members' unique characters pressed monkey-shaped game controller buttons, the screen switched with a "BEEP" sound effect, and the tracklist appeared.
In particular, the new item veiled on the official website that hints at the concept of "MONKEY MODE," the "monkey device," appeared in the tracklist video and piqued fans' curiosity. On the official website, when fans operate the monkey device, the album's tracklist is mysteriously revealed, providing a rich sense of immersion.
The released group, individual and unit concept photos captured the members showing intense presence based on a dark mood, raising expectations for an upgraded ability to carry the concept.
A representative explained, "DAILY:DIRECTION's second single 'MONKEY MODE' is an album that confronts incompleteness in the most primal and delightful way. Even in moments of self-doubt and wavering, it depicts the process of finding answers from within rather than from the outside and accepting oneself as is."
