[Comprehensive] Treasure “I’m sorry for the criticism for not being popular, Yang Hyun-seok helped arrange it”

The group Treasure expressed their sincerity to the criticism of music without popular appeal.

Treasure held a showcase to commemorate the release of their 2nd regular album 'REBOOT' at YG's new building in Mapo-gu, Seoul at 11 am on the 28th.

This album is more meaningful to Treasure as it is the first album released by Yedam and Mashiho after they left the team in November of last year and reorganized into a 10-member group. This album contains a total of 10 songs including the title song 'BONA BONA'.

The new song 'BONA BONA' is a title that uses Treasure's light language to unravel the message 'Born To Love You', which penetrates the theme of fateful attraction. By harmonizing the strong brass sound of the chorus with the drum beat reminiscent of a marching band, Treasure's 'reboot' is expressed with confidence.

The members of TREASURE directly participated in the production of the 2nd regular album as well. The rapper line Choi Hyun-seok, Yoshi, and Haruto participated in several b-side songs, including the title song. Yoshi and Asahi also participated in writing and composing the lyrics for "Stupid" and "Illness," respectively. Junkyu was credited with the title song, 'Move (T5)', 'I Want Your Love', and 'BOMB'.

In addition, 'GOAT' (RAP Unit, feat. Lee Young-hyun) by Choi Hyun-seok, Yoshi, and Haruto, which exudes YG-style hip-hop vibes, and 'The Way To' (VOCAL Unit), a lyrical ballad by Ji-hoon, Jun-kyu, and Park Jung-woo, are also included. done.

Regarding the process of preparing for the album after Yedam and Mashiho left, Treasure said, "The preparation for the album continued without change. This time, we prepared the album while touring. We released it with the intention of releasing a more responsible and perfect album."

Hyunseok said, "Because it's a regular album, the 10 of us focused on making songs and performances. As a result, 10 months have passed. It's a lie to say that there is no regret in the voice that has no popularity. However, rather than grades, the music and stage are better. If so, many people will like it someday."

Treasure successfully completed a Japanese tour prior to the album's release. Jihoon said, "It was our first Japanese tour. We didn't know if many people would visit us. We performed at the Kyocera Dome. It was a really overwhelming moment. This year, we will work hard so that we can stand at the stadium."

Hyunseok said, "Maturity we speak of should be divided between the outside and the inside. The outside is health or self-management. The inside is concentration on music and choreography. I melted these parts into this album. I like the color of YG and it's in it. We wanted to capture Treasure's charm. You'll feel that way when you listen to the song," he explained.

Jihoon said, "What has changed from before is music. The image we pursue has changed. In the past, Treasure was young and lacked experience. Now we are ready to reveal our mature charm. PD Yang Hyun-suk helped arrange the music. Many The result came out that you will be satisfied with.”

Treasure's 2nd regular album 'REBOOT' will be released on various music sites at 6 pm on the same day. On the same day, at 8:00 PM, the 'Comeback Special Live' will be held.
