ITZY, B1A4, and SF9 gear up for exciting comebacks today with new albums

AKP STAFF

Today(8th), the groups ITZY, B1A4, and SF9 are all making comebacks.


First, ITZY is releasing their new album 'BORN TO BE' and the title track 'UNTOUCHABLE' at 6 PM today. 

The new album 'BORN TO BE' carries a bold message of moving forward in the vast world as they wish. It builds on the group's core musical identity of 'respecting and loving oneself' emphasized since their debut song 'DALLA DALLA', conveying a more challenging meaning of expressing themselves freely and overcoming their limits.

The new song 'UNTOUCHABLE' was choreographed by world-renowned choreographer Kiel Tutin and Song Heesu, a dancer from 'TURNZ', the winning team of Mnet's 2022 'Street Dance Girls Fighter'. The lyrics were written by Eslan and renowned lyricist Bang Hye-hyun, who worked on 'None of My Business' from the previous album 'KILL MY DOUBT', with contributions from Maria Marcus, who has collaborated with numerous K-pop artists, making it a well-crafted album.

The new mini-album includes a total of 10 tracks, including 'UNTOUCHABLE', 'BORN TO BE', 'Mr. Vampire', 'Dynamite', 'Escalator', and solo songs by the members: 'Crown On My Head (Yeji)', 'Blossom (Lia)', 'Run Away (Ryujin)', 'Mine (Chaeryeong)', 'Yet, but (Yuna)'. Notably, ITZY has showcased their musical talents by participating in writing and composing their solo songs for the first time since debut.

ITZY's new mini-album 'BORN TO BE' and the title track 'UNTOUCHABLE' will be officially released on January 8th at 6 PM. They will also hold a solo concert at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul, on February 24th and 25th.

On the same day, B1A4 is also releasing a new album. Their mini 8th album 'CONNECT' is the first release in about 2 years and 2 months since their digital single 'Giant Word' in November 2021. It contains stories about the long journey of the B1A4 members and their fans. The album conveys the preciousness and gratitude towards fans, promising that the dreamlike reality of reuniting after a time apart will continue without end.

The title track 'REWIND' is written and composed by member Shinwoo, featuring a rhythmic bass, synthesizers, and groovy drum rhythms in a New Jack Swing genre. This dynamic and addictive track, with its message of 'rewinding time to meet you again from last night's dream', combines B1A4's deepened vocals.

In addition to 'REWIND', the album contains a total of 5 tracks, including 'Past the Time to Meet You', 'PAUSE', 'When You Call My Name', and 'There's No Such Thing as Breakup'. True to their nickname as 'self-producing idols', Shinwoo composed and wrote 3 tracks, including the title track, and Sandeul composed and wrote 2 tracks. The last track, 'There's No Such Thing as Breakup', was written by all members, capturing B1A4's unique emotions.

Lastly, SF9's mini 13th album 'Sequence' is also being released today. SF9 participated in all the tracks of their new album 'Sequence', enhancing its musical completeness. The title track 'BIBORA', written by Youngbin, Juho, and Hwiyoung, 'Strings', 'Morning Coffee', 'Midnight Sun' composed and written by Juho, 'Domino' written by Youngbin and Juho, and the first solo song 'Superconductor' composed and written by Dawon, all unfold SF9's unique color. 

Notably, 'Midnight Sun', promising eternity with fans, and 'Strings', expressing warm feelings for fans, showcase SF9's love for their fans.
