High Up Entertainment

In a much-anticipated comeback, the pop sensation StayC is poised to once again captivate the nation with their infectious energy. This Wednesday marks the release of their latest offering, "Teenfresh," an album brimming with youthful effervescence that promises to be a summer blowout.

During a press conference held in Seoul, the group's members unveiled their third mini album, showcasing a collection of six songs that epitomize StayC's iconic "teen fresh" genre. Sieun, one of the group's vocalists, described the album as a celebration of their unique colors and positive energy, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a playground of seasonal festivity.

The album's opening track, "Bubble," leads with a perky synth bass sound and an irresistible hook. Accompanied by the whimsical sound of bubbles popping, the song's lyrics convey a message of resilience – that words meant to bring you down will eventually dissipate like bubbles, leaving no trace.

This latest album, notably the title track "Bubble," is intimately linked to StayC's previous release, "Teddy Bear." According to the group, the emotional solace many found in "Teddy Bear" inspired them to continue spreading healing energy through their music. Sumin, another member of the group, explained that this motivation gave rise to the creation of "Bubble."

Beyond the auditory experience, the music video for "Bubble" transports viewers to a vibrant theme park where the girls frolic in a "Bubble Arcade." To share their joy with their devoted fans, known as "Sweets," StayC is set to host a special comeback showcase at Seoul's renowned Lotte World Adventure's Garden Stage. The choice of venue is intentional, as Lotte World holds cherished memories for the group members, and this event offers them a chance to perform in front of a broader audience.

The album's tracklist offers a diverse range of sounds, including the confidence-boosting "Not Like You," the promise of unwavering support in "I Wanna Do," and the innocent depiction of young love in "Be Mine." The album also features a sped-up version of "Bubble," tailored for the viral social media challenge trend, as well as an English rendition of the title track.

"Teenfresh" marks StayC's second comeback of the year, building on the success of their fourth single, "Teddy Bear," released in February. The group, composed of Sumin, Sieun, Isa, Se-eun, Yoon, and J, made their debut in November 2020 under the tutelage of the producer duo Black Eyed Pilseung, the driving force behind their chart-topping hits like "ASAP," "Stereotype," "Run2U," and "Teddy Bear."

Excitement is palpable as StayC prepares for their inaugural global concert tour, "Teenfresh," slated to kick off in September. Beginning in Seoul on September 23-24, the tour will traverse the United States in October, featuring performances in New York, Chicago, San Antonio, Dallas, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. After a brief hiatus, the tour will resume in Asia in January.

Sieun, expressing the group's eagerness for their worldwide tour, shared, "As first-time world tour performers, we hold high expectations. We're acutely aware of the anticipation from our overseas fans, and we're dedicated to creating unforgettable memories and delivering our finest performances. This world tour marks a pivotal step forward for us."

With the release of "Teenfresh," StayC solidifies their status as pop royalty, primed to dominate the summer music landscape and establish themselves as the creative vanguards of a new generation.
