Congratulations on your new song, TOMORROW X TOGETHER! What are you most looking forward to starting this new chapter?
Taehyung: What I’m most excited about is the fan reaction when the music is first released. Right now, when I’m preparing for the album, it’s the time when I feel like “Ah, the album is finally out” the most.
album title dream chapter When chapter of chaos gives an obvious hint of where the music is going, name chapter It’s a little more open ended. can you explain?
Taehyung: We always talk about growth.we talked about friendship dream chapterand some love that’s broken in us chapter of chaos. name chapter I know I have to grow, but sometimes I don’t want to grow yet. That’s what this EP is about. What makes you want to stay in “Neverland” is because it’s sweet, young and free. But the reason I say “Goodbye, Neverland” at the end of this album is because I know I have to go.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER always put your story in the album. How does it relate and fit with what you just described?
Taehyung: The big theme of this album is ‘Temptation’. And as you grow up, I think you will come across many temptations from different places. The third song “Happy Fools” felt like our story. All of us contributed to the creation of this track, telling the story of how we fall into the lure of laziness.Yeonjun did a beautiful job Up All five of us participated in writing the lyrics, so it really became our song.
What does your new single “Sugar Rush Ride” represent in your story?
Hueningkai: I think the song does a really good job of incorporating the overall theme of this album: seduction. I’m talking about the temptation of a sugar rush, it’s irresistible and very, very sweet. That’s why I think I was able to express my refreshing, dreamy, and sexy charm.
Subin: I think it’s not just our experience, it’s everyone’s experience. So I think everyone can relate to the song.
“Sugar Rush Ride” has the lyric “The devil said ‘Gimme, gimme, more'” and you have the song “Devil by the Window.” In keeping with the theme of the album, what temptations are you battling in your life?
hueningkai: I think dieting is a temptation to come across in everyday life. So when you’re on a diet, you can’t resist the temptation of food. It’s basically a battle with food. So I think this is the most powerful and terrifying temptation we have ever encountered.
Yeonjun: I accept.
You guys are always amazing and the internet went wild with concept photos of you. Did you do anything special mentally or physically to prepare for them?
Yeonjun: Yeah, I exercised almost every day.
Tell us more about the visuals for this album: There are concept photos for ‘Daydream’, ‘Nightmare’, ‘Farewell’ and ‘Lullaby’..
Taehyung: For our concept photos, I can explain that we have a fundamentally different concept. “Daydream” depicts falling into temptation and the joy and joy of falling into temptation. “Nightmare” shows how he recognizes that he has fallen into temptation and tries to fight it. In Farewell, we finally overcome temptation and take a step away from it.
You always emphasize that you want to grow with each album release. What do you feel has grown with this new album?
hueningkai: Every time we release a new album, we try new and different genres. Of course, this album also challenged a lot of new genres. It was my first time trying the Afro-Pop genre, which is quite a difficult genre, but I think everyone did very well on the recording of “Tinnitus (Wanna Be a Rock).” As for the concept other than the song, I think it was the first time we had a “dream-like” concept in terms of photography, but all the members did a good job with that concept.
What’s your favorite song on your album?
Taehyung: Today’s favorite is “Tinnitus (Wanna Be a Rock)”.
hueningkai: Choose the last song “Farewell Neverland”.
Yeonjun: Select “Happy Fools”.
Subin: HUENINGKAI’s last song “Sayonara, Neverland” is the same.
Beomgyu: I also choose “Happy Fool”.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER has reached #4 on the Billboard 200. I have a very good impression of this album, but do you have any new goals, hopes, or dreams for this album?
hueningkai: Of course, to play on a bigger stage and play in AMAs.
Yeonjun: attendance [American Music Awards] It was a very good experience, and I would like to perform next time.
Taehyung: We also want to build and enhance our colors. We want people to listen to our music.
Is there anything else you would like to highlight to your fans with this release?
