K-pop boy group AB6IX has made their much-anticipated return with their new mini-album, BORN LIKE THIS, marking their first release in about nine months since the launch of their eighth EP, THE FUTURE IS OURS: FOUND, in January. With this latest release, the group — consisting of members Lee Dae-hwi, Park Woo-jin, Kim Dong-hyun, and Jeon Woong — is set to showcase their distinctive musical style and personal charms.
In a written interview with their agency, Brand New Music, the members expressed their excitement and dedication toward the album. Lee Dae-hwi stated, “Since we're meeting our fans with this album after a long time, we tried to prepare it with great care and effort. We hope you enjoy listening to it.” His words reflect the group's commitment to creating a meaningful connection with their fans, who are known as ABNEW.
The new EP consists of five tracks: the lead single "NVKED," followed by "In My Vein," "Forever Young," "Hurt Me," and "Butterfly Effect." Each member of AB6IX actively participated in the songwriting and composition, making this album a true representation of their artistic identity. Lee Dae-hwi played a key role in crafting the lead single, which he co-wrote and produced. The track, a punk pop genre song, encourages listeners to embrace their authentic selves.
Jeon Woong shared his excitement about the comeback, saying, “I always feel nervous and tense with each comeback, but my excitement is even greater this time. I can't wait to perform on stage for ABNEW!” His enthusiasm highlights the anticipation and dedication that the group feels toward connecting with their fans.
The lead single "NVKED" is particularly noted for capturing the essence of AB6IX's musical style. "Lee Dae-hwi wrote and composed 'NVKED,' and as the main producer of AB6IX, he created a song that suits the group best and fully captures the color that AB6IX expresses well," Jeon remarked. The song’s bold lyrics, such as "Let's get naked baby," are said to embody the message of honesty and self-expression, central themes that resonate with the group's identity.
Kim Dong-hyun also shared his thoughts on the track's energy, stating, "The lead single has an enjoyable, funky vibe. I like the part that says 'I'll decorate this night brilliantly.' I think these lyrics well capture our desire to brilliantly decorate all our stages and every moment we share with our ABNEWs." His words reflect the group's aspiration to make each performance a memorable experience for their fans.
AB6IX has also hinted at exciting choreography that fans can look forward to. "The performance is very exciting, and above all, there are many key moves that can be enjoyed together with fans," said Kim. Park Woo-jin added, “There are many basic and hip dance moves, so I think fans will like it a lot,” hinting at an engaging and dynamic stage presence that promises to resonate with the audience.
The group's decision to perform with handheld microphones for the first time is another highlight of their comeback, with Lee Dae-hwi mentioning, “Please look forward to it.” This change signifies a new level of performance as they aim to create a more intimate and interactive atmosphere during live shows.
Concluding their message to fans, Jeon Woong expressed heartfelt gratitude and hope for continued support, saying, “Finally, our ninth EP has been released! We worked hard to prepare it, so please show us a lot of interest and love! Let's make many happy memories and great experiences during the act for this album.” Kim Dong-hyun echoed this sentiment, stating, "This is an album we prepared diligently, filled with our affection! Please show us a lot of love and interest, ABNEWs!"
The group's dedication to their craft and the love they have for their fans shine through in every aspect of BORN LIKE THIS. As AB6IX continues to grow and evolve, their latest mini-album promises to be a defining moment that highlights the unique essence and charisma of each member.
