Boy group ARrC has revealed the ‘Track Breakdown’ for their third mini album 'HOPE'.
According to the tracklist, the album will include five tracks: the title track ‘awesome’, along with ‘dawns’, ‘kick back’, ‘night life’, and ‘vitamin I’.
In this album, members Choi Han and Hyunmin participated in songwriting for the first time, contributing to the track ‘dawns’, adding ARrC’s unique sincerity to the album. Top producers from Korea and abroad, including Benjamin 55 and Stary 55, who have worked with artists like NCT 127 and RIIZE and have been at the forefront of the K-pop sound, also collaborated on this project, raising anticipation for a legendary lineup of songs.
The track ‘night life’, which was pre-released through a studio session video in February, is also drawing attention. It immediately received enthusiastic responses from fans, showcasing ARrC’s impressive vocal and rap skills, which has further heightened expectations for the full version and the rest of the album.
The tracklist image is equally striking. Following the introduction of ‘Barong’ — the Indonesian mythical creature and king of the forest — during pre-orders, ARrC now presents another unique character that feels both unfamiliar and oddly familiar. First revealed through their ‘Photo Drop’ on the 6th, this character is inspired by Portugal’s traditional festival figure ‘Careto’ and Korea’s Hahoetal masks. Its intense visuals stand in contrast to the album title ‘HOPE’, sparking curiosity about the message ARrC aims to convey through this character.
As ARrC continues to showcase bold, unprecedented concepts beyond music in the lead-up to the release of their third mini album ‘HOPE’, attention is now focused on what stories they will tell through upcoming promotional content such as the ‘Track Drop’ and music video teasers, and what genres and styles they will bring to the table with this new release.
ARrC’s third mini album ‘HOPE’ will be released on various music platforms at 6 PM on July 16.
