EVNNE Returns with New Album 'HOT MESS', Embracing Pop Rock and Positive Energy

EVNNE is set to surpass their previous catchphrase 'Evenly' from the hit show 'Black and White Chef'.

On the 10th, EVNNE held a showcase at the Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, to celebrate the release of their fourth mini-album 'HOT MESS'.

The group, featuring members Yoo Seung-eon and Park Ji-hoo, broke their 8-month hiatus with the title track 'HOT MESS', which they co-wrote. Yoo Seung-eon expressed gratitude for the opportunity to infuse the song with EVNNE's unique style, describing it as a playful and free-spirited track. Park Ji-hoo added that they ventured into the pop rock genre, aiming for a fun and unconventional lyrical approach.

EVNNE's title track marks their first foray into pop rock. Park Ji-hoo noted the excitement of exploring new musical genres with each comeback. The new album features six tracks, including the title song. Ji Yoon-seo shared that the album's concept revolves around positive energy, and they carefully selected songs that would resonate with fans and the public.

Moon Jung-hyun recommended the title track for its message of enjoying chaos, suggesting it as a comforting listen during tough times. Yoo Seung-eon highlighted the choreography's departure from their usual synchronized style, focusing instead on expressing positive energy through a more relaxed performance.

Despite challenges, EVNNE's new approach has led to a more polished stage presence. Lee Jung-hyun explained that the chorus choreography was more spontaneous, aiming to convey a sense of freedom and positivity. Park Han-bin expressed confidence in their ability to embody the 'enjoyment' mood, despite initial struggles.

The group also addressed the competition with the catchphrase 'Evenly' from the popular Netflix show 'Black and White Chef', where Chef Ahn Sung-jae's phrase became a trend. EVNNE responded with humor and determination to this unexpected rivalry.

Yoo Seung-eon joked about the challenge of surpassing the golf term 'even' and now the catchphrase from 'Black and White Chef', while Moon Jung-hyun admitted initial confusion but saw the trend as an opportunity for increased visibility.

The members expressed satisfaction with the new album, with Park Han-bin noting their extensive involvement in concept photos, music videos, and songwriting. Yoo Seung-eon shared that the track 'Youth' was inspired by his trainee days, offering comfort and empathy to listeners.

EVNNE will hold their first solo concert on April 5-6 at Yes24 Live Hall, promising diverse and impressive performances. The group emphasized their hands-on approach in creating an artist-driven stage.

The title track 'HOT MESS', co-written by Yoo Seung-eon and Park Ji-hoo, features a crunchy guitar blend in the pop rock genre. Its catchy chorus and dynamic melody are designed to captivate listeners. Through this song, EVNNE captures the essence of youth embracing chaos without seeking immediate answers.

The album includes six tracks: 'HOT MESS', 'Birthday', 'Love Like That', 'CROWN', 'Youth', and '景色 (KESHIKI) (Korean Ver.)'.

EVNNE's fourth mini-album 'HOT MESS' is set to release at 6 PM today.
