For every artist, regular albums have a special meaning. From the number of tracks included in the album to the completeness of the title song to the thematic awareness that runs through the album, it is different from ordinary singles and mini-albums. In other words, when an artist releases a regular album, it means there is a story they want to tell.

Fromis 9’s first full-length album, ‘Unlock My World’, which will be released on the 5th, is attracting more attention. The introductory phrase, which contains the will to face the wider world with the unadorned ‘real me’, rather than fitting myself into the eyes and utopias of others, is similar to the theme awareness that many of new women’s groups promoting it recently. However, the ‘real me’ that 6-year-old Fromis Nine talks about is inevitably different from a rookie girl group.

Roh Ji-sun said, “I thought a lot because it had a lot of meaning. After discussion and discussion, it was decided to express ‘Me’ as the theme. I thought I could show my culture and growth to the public. Instead of bright songs, I prepared songs that are deep and contain me.” He explained the meaning of the regular album.

Park Ji-won introduced, “It contains the will to show a wider spectrum by challenging various genres. It contains different aspects, from lonely and unwise aspects to overcome.” Lee Sae-rom added, “Since this is our first full-length album, I was full of desire to release good music. I communicated a lot with the members and prepared it by putting my heart and soul into every detail. “

The title song ‘#menow’ is the song that best expresses the theme of this album. It includes the desire to honestly show people who I am right now and get closer to them. I hesitate to show the real me to others, but in the end, it also includes the strength to be confident in any image. Musically, the sophisticated and delicate voices of the members and the contemporary rhythm were heavily harmonized.

Roh Ji-sun introduced, “There is an addictive and rich chorus in the chorus.” Lee Na-kyung added, “I believe the addictive melody and heartfelt lyrics will increase the immersion of listeners.”

Like a regular album, the songs on the album are also varied. This album, which contains a total of 10 songs, includes six group songs and four unit songs. The active participation of members such as Park Ji-won, who participated in writing and composing the lyrics for ‘Wishlist’, Baek Ji-heon, who participated in the lyrics for ‘In the Mirror’ and ‘Prom Night’, and Lee Seo-yeon and Lee Na-young, named as the composers of ‘My Night Routine’, are also excellent. All members participated in writing the lyrics for ‘Eye Contact’, and Song Ha-young participated in the composition, adding a special touch.

Song Ha-young emphasized, “I hope you will pay attention to our new attempt. In addition, Lee Chae-young said, “More than ever, it seems that the focus has been on the confident ones and the ones I love. All the members had time to look back on themselves , and we had many honest conversations with them. each other and became stronger. We were all satisfied. It seems that a good result has come out. The whole process of working on this album can be seen in grow.”

Fromis achieved 9 ‘career highs’ with the last album ‘o’n Memento Box’. Through this album, the members expressed their desire to become closer to the public. He also expressed his desire to continue the successes of the previous album.

Lee Sae-rom said, “I’m grateful that the last album achieved good results. Because of that, I felt a little pressure, and since this album is a full-length album, I felt a sense of responsibility in many ways. All of our members are full of greed and ambition, so we intend to work hard. Hopefully the results will follow.” Lee Seo-yeon said, “I think a lot of people will think about myself. I thought a lot about how to go about it. This album is the answer we found very difficult. Because it contains our sincere hearts, many people will listen to it our music. I hope you will take courage.”

Finally, Park Ji-won said, “As every flower blooms at different times, I think our blooming period is now. I hope I can reach you,” conveying an honest but firm heart.
