Boy group WHIB is gearing up with intense energy ahead of their full-group comeback.
From January 18th through 21st at midnight KST, WHIB (Kim Jun Min, Ha Seung, Jin Beom, Yu Geon, Lee Jeong, Jae Ha, and Won Jun) unveiled the first NOIR version concept photos for their first mini album 'ROCK THE NATION' via their official social media channels.
In the newly released concept photos, the members command attention with an extraordinary aura steeped in noir sensibilities, captivating global fans. Befitting their first comeback as a complete seven-member group, WHIB teases bold musical experimentation with noticeably upgraded visuals.
Dressed in rugged leather styling, WHIB creates a sharp, edgy atmosphere through expressive poses and facial acting set against dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. The direction—featuring piercing gazes through lacquered glass—immerses viewers as if watching a noir film. Each cut alternates between overwhelming charisma and unique energy, imprinting the group’s daring confidence.
'ROCK THE NATION' condenses WHIB’s fearless drive into a single album, with members Ha Seung, Kim Jun Min, and Lee Jeong participating across tracks in lyric writing and composition, infusing the project with the group’s distinct color. By consecutively releasing large-scale teaser content, WHIB continues to stoke comeback anticipation.
In particular, WHIB showcases a clear team identity through the explosive, performance-driven title track “ROCK THE NATION.” In previous releases—“BANG!,” “DIZZY,” “KICK IT,” “Rush of Joy,” and “BANG OUT”—the group demonstrated wide-ranging concept versatility by foregrounding key colors such as black & white for charisma, blue for freshness, purple for chic & funky vibes, and magenta for bold uniqueness. As they open a new chapter as a seven-member group, WHIB is poised to shake global fandoms with even stronger synergy.
WHIB’s first mini album 'ROCK THE NATION' will be released on January 29th at 6:00 PM KST through major online music platforms.
