Highlight Celebrates 17 Years with New Album 'From Real to Surreal'

Highlight, the enduring K-pop group, has expressed their commitment to continue their activities with a sense of responsibility.

On the 28th, Highlight held an online press conference to celebrate the release of their sixth mini-album, 'From Real to Surreal'.

This year marks Highlight's 17th year in the industry, and this album is their 20th physical release. Despite their long career and numerous albums, the members still feel excited about releasing new music. Son Dong-woon shared, "Every time we release an album, it feels new. Our passion is still strong, and there is so much we want to show," he said with a sparkle in his eyes.

Yoon Doo-joon added, "If our efforts to progress even a little can inspire someone, that would be great. I hope our long-standing activity can serve as a role model for the K-pop juniors fighting on the front lines. If so, K-pop might be loved worldwide for a longer time. We will work hard with the mission of doing something significant."

Lee Gi-kwang also commented, "They say stagnant water rots, and I believe that's true. We want to keep striving to present great albums and performances."

'From Real to Surreal' is Highlight's first full-group album in about a year. The title track 'Chains', co-written and composed by member Lee Gi-kwang, is a hip-hop song that begins with a fresh clarinet riff. It tells a story of a maddening love that one cannot escape from.

Highlight's 'From Real to Surreal' will be released at 6 PM today.
