"HYBE J-pop boy group" aoen sings about the brilliant new starting point of seven youths and fired a major comeback signal.
aoen pre-released the title track of their third single 'HAJIMARI COLOR' (Hajimari Color) across various global music sites on the day and ignited the full-scale comeback fever.
The pre-released title track 'HAJIMARI COLOR' is a song that depicts the dramatic moment when seven members with different personalities meet and blossom into one intense light. It opens with a restrained beat imbued with a lonely sensibility, then the sound development stands out as it rushes intensely in the chorus as if overflowing emotions burst forth. Added to this are buoyant rhythms, diverse instrumental sounds and the vivid vocals of aoen members in harmony.
In particular, this new song's completeness was elevated by the participation of Australian producer Taka Perry, who co-wrote the hit 'Touch' for global girl group KATSEYE.
The new single 'HAJIMARI COLOR' is a work that captures a journey in which different personalities meet and are dyed in aoen's unique color. Like a prism refracting light to create diverse colors, the unfinished youths collide and mix, discovering their own light, a process expressed through sensory music. The album includes a total of four well-filled tracks, including the pre-released title song, 'BOoM×2 DROP', 'Youth' and 'Asphalt Rainbows', and will be officially released on the 22nd.
Meanwhile, composed of seven elite members — Yuju, Ruka, Gaku, Hikaru, Sota, Kyosuke and Leo — aoen has, since debuting in June last year, intensely expressed realistic emotions and facets of youth through music, building empathy among global fans. In particular, after earning Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan for their previous work 'INSTANT CRUSH', they also made an appearance on the '2026 WeverseCon Festival' stage last June and left a mark.
