EVNNE recently made their much-anticipated debut with their second mini-album, "[Un: SEEN]." To celebrate, KpopStarz had the opportunity to ask EVNNE some burning questions at their media roundtable!
On January 22, 2024, EVNNE returned to the music scene with their second mini-album, "Un: SEEN." This marks the boy group's first comeback since their debut with "[Target: ME]" in September 2023.
Since then, members KEITA, JI YUNSEO, MUN JUNGHYUN, YOO SEUNGEON, LEE JEONGHYEON, PARK JIHOO, and PARK HANBIN have taken the K-pop world by storm. In their latest album, the members share untold stories behind the scars created during their road to debuting and from their lives. With this album, fans can see new, unseen sides of the members.
To celebrate their successful comeback, KpopStarz along with other media partners were able to ask some questions to the monster rookies who are currently blazing a trail in K-pop!
EVNNE Members Discuss Feelings on the Survival Show 'Boys Planet'
Before coming together to form EVNEE, the members competed in the survival show "Boys Planet." Following their appearance, the boys chose to chase after their dreams with each other, hand-in hand.
With that, we had to ask: "Have you ever regretted joining the show 'Boys Planet'?"
JI YUNSEO talked about how he sees the show as a precious experience, and something he is grateful he went through. Competing on the show allowed him to learn valuable lessons, and of course, the members of EVNNE.
JI YUNSEO: "We've met through the show 'Boys Planet' where I discovered fellow peers striving toward the same dream and learning valuable skill sets and mindsets for putting on performances. I have never regretted appearing on the show, as I believe EVNNE was possible because of it. I view it as a precious experience and something for which I am deeply grateful.
PARK JIHOO agreed, stating that he was able to learn valuable lessons through his time on "Boys Planet." The show allowed him to meet friends and learn valuable lessons from them.
PARK JIHOO: "Choosing to participate in the show 'Boys Planet' not only allowed me to meet the members but also introduced me to other friends from whom I gained valuable lessons. If I did not meet them, I wouldn't be able to grow into the person that I am, so I do not regret it one bit."
YOO SEUNGEON also does not regret his time on the show, saying "Boys Planet" pave the way for EVNNE's debut.
YOO SEUNGEON: "The opportunity presented by the show 'Boys Planet' allowed us to introduce our name to the public, ultimately paving the way for our debut as EVNNE. More importantly, it served as the platform through which we connected with our fans. With this, I can confidently say that I have no regrets about joining the show."
EVNNE Hints at New Music
Their album "[Un: SEEN]" received rave reviews from fans. Their lead single, "Ugly," even scored the group their first music show win on "Show Champion"!
As their music matures and they grow as K-pop idols, fans are wondering if they plan to release anything new. We at KpopStarz had the same question, leading us to ask: "Do you have any plans to release new music within the next year or two?"
YUNSEO: "Yes, of course."
KEITA: "We consistently strive to unveil new facets of ourselves to our fans, ENNVE, putting forth our best efforts to showcase a diverse range of music types and styles to the public."
PARK HANBIN: "I hope you anticipate the upcoming music and performances that we have in store for the future, and I appreciate the continued support and love from all of you."
YOO SEUNGEON: "We are a team that consistently reflects on the type of new music and concept we want to bring to our fans for a comeback, so for sure we will release new music within the next year or two."
Thank you for answering our questions, EVNNE!
