IZ*ONE has recently released the first teaser trailer for their upcoming single "D-D-Dance," giving fans a preview of its UNIVERSE inspired concept.
The "D-D-Dance Official Music Video Teaser A," released on the UNIVERSE YouTube channel and its SNS accounts last January 21, comes ahead of the official music video release on January 28.
In the 37-second teaser, all twelve members appear in what appears to be a celestial-themed room - with the night sky as the background to a meeting place, and an armillary sphere floating in the middle of the room. Other shots tease the settings set to appear in the upcoming MV, including a hall of mirrors and a room of curtains and tassel lampshades.
IZ*ONE's "D-D-Dance" will be kicking off the UNIVERSE Music, the official music segment of NCSoft's K-Pop fan interaction platform UNIVERSE. This part of the platform will feature original and exclusive releases of its affiliated artists such as Kang Daniel, MONSTA X, WJSN, Park Ji Hoon, CIX, and more in addition to IZ*ONE. Each idol on UNIVERSE has their own PLANET, a channel for them and their fans to interact and organize activities.

On the other hand, MONSTA X becomes a group of private investigators sent back to September 1989 to prevent a world-changing explosion from ever happening in the upcoming show "Area 51: The Code."
