Your title tracks feature a lot of intense choreography and hip-hop influence, and since debut, you’ve released songs with many different styles. Who are some of the members’ biggest musical inspirations? Are there certain genres you’d like to try in the future?

We look forward to fans’ continued support this year as well! And we remember the [MMS Entertainment] team who arranged our tour, and during the tour we visited the Eiffel Tower in France, the Louvre Museum, and explored the streets of Belgium. Unfortunately, we couldn't do sightseeing in Germany because of the tour schedule, so this time we want to go on a longer tour and definitely try the delicious local food and do some sightseeing as well.

What has the experience of preparing for the tour been like?

Even now, it doesn’t quite feel real that we are being supported and together in Europe, Brazil, and Asia, all this far away. Especially in countries like France, Germany, Cambodia, and Brazil, where we have fan club accounts and hold many events for our special anniversaries, it is fascinating, and to repay the love we have received, we hope to work even harder in our music activities and visit many countries more often.
