Rising boy group EVNNE (Keita, Park Han Bin, Lee Jeong Hyeon, Yoo Seung Eon, Ji Yoon Seo, Moon Jeong Hyun, Park Ji Hoo) is back with a fresh mindset, global goals, and a powerful message: they’re here to stay—and they’re aiming high.
On August 4, the group made a confident return with their 5th mini album ‘Love Anecdote(s)’, just six months after their last release, ‘Hot Mess’. And this time, they’re showing a more mature, laid-back charm that blends smooth flirting energy with their signature confidence.
“This time, it’s about growth—and being true to ourselves”
Leader Keita shared, “I’m so happy we were able to come back quickly. I really missed performing and meeting fans. We’ve prepared new sides of ourselves.”
Yoo Seung Eon added, “Our last album was loud and strong, but this one is calmer and cooler. We’ve matured, and I think fans will feel that.”
The title track, ‘How Can I Do’, is a hip-hop-inspired pop track with funky beats and a chill groove. It explores the feelings and moments when love begins—with a flirty twist.
Ji Yoon Seo said, “It’s a fun song that shows how we view love. It mixes rap and vocals, and gives off a chill but confident energy.”
Park Ji Hoo shared, “As soon as I heard it, I knew I wanted to try this style. The real strings and percussion sounds pulled me in.”
Yoo Seung Eon added, “This song has been with us since our debut days. Now that we’re in our second year, we’re finally showing it—with growth and pride.”
The mini album includes six tracks:
? How Can I Do
? Dirtybop
? Mako
? Love Chat
? Put It On Me
? Newest
From playful rookies to smooth charmers
Known for their mischievous image, EVNNE takes a more refined approach in this comeback. The concept of flirting is expressed through symbolic props and visuals in the music video, adding a touch of maturity to their charm.
Yoo Seung Eon shared, “We wanted to show a side that only EVNNE can express. I think this album really shows we’re all-rounders.”
Moon Jeong Hyun was even chosen as the member who suits the flirty concept best.
Lee Jeong Hyeon and Park Ji Hoo joked, “He’s just naturally like that. If we were the opposite gender, we’d fall for him.”
Moon responded, “I really focused on facial expressions and tone. I wanted to give off a deeper, more attractive feeling.”
Not just performers—creators too
Behind the scenes, EVNNE continues to grow as artists.
Keita wrote and composed the track ‘Newest’, while Ji Yoon Seo helped write lyrics for ‘Put It On Me’. The group wants to create songs that fans can connect with—and that show different sides of themselves.
They also played a big role in their recent ‘SET N GO’ Asia tour—helping with styling, stage planning, and unit performances.
Park Ji Hoo revealed, “I even helped direct some parts with Keita.”
Moon Jeong Hyun added, “We made the setlist, solo performances, and outfits ourselves. It felt personal and meaningful.”
Their next step? A North America and Europe tour starting this October.
From the stage to the world — and Billboard
Even though EVNNE started as a “project group,” they’re proving they’re more than that.
Ji Yoon Seo said, “We’re not rushing because of time. We’re focused on making every moment count.”
Yoo Seung Eon added, “We want to give our fans our best, no matter how long we have.”
The members also shared their big dreams:
? Lollapalooza and Coachella performances
? A spot on the Billboard charts
? A dome tour someday
Ji Yoon Seo shared, “We’re dreaming big now. Performing at Lollapalooza or Coachella isn’t just a dream—we want to make it happen.”
Park Han Bin added, “A dome tour is one of my biggest goals.”
With a confident attitude and growing creative power, EVNNE is proving they’re no longer just a temporary team—they’re a serious force in K-pop, ready to take on the world.
Stay tuned as EVNNE continues promotions for ‘Love Anecdote(s)’, and prepares for their global tour starting this October!
