On the 9th, KISS OF LIFE held a showcase at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul to commemorate the release of its fourth mini album “224” (two to four).
KISS OF LIFE’s new album“224,” which will make a comeback in eight months, captures the narrative of a person’s ego moving from oppression to liberation through the passage of time called “Today, Tomorrow, and Eternity.”
Julie said, “As it is an album about the process of finding yourself, we prepared happily by visiting things we didn’t know about both musically and performance.”
In particular, this is the first album to be presented without Lee Hae-in, who has led the team’s success by participating as a creative director since its debut, and Julie said, “As always, the members participated in a lot of the album production. This time, we made the album by communicating more with the members, and we grew in the process.”
The title song “Lips Hips Kiss” is a song that can feel R&B hip-hop in the early 2000s, and it expresses the emotions of falling for each other in a sensual mood. The song, which features a feminine mood with sophisticated melodies and sensual lyrics, captivates listeners with a development that is not excessive but boring.
Belle said, “We had difficulty in selecting the title song. There are so many options that all of our members can enjoy in many genres. We decided on the title after thinking hard again.”
“I wanted to come out with a summer song that many people didn’t expect,” Julie said. “It’s a new challenge, but I wanted to show that KISS OF LIFE is good because it’s a good song. Because it’s a song and genre that I’m confident in, I chose it as the title.”
KISS OF LIFE is making its first summer comeback in about a year since “Sticky.” “I’m so happy to get the title of ‘Summer Queen,'” Natty said, adding, “This summer, unlike ‘Sticky,’ we’re going to show you a sticky and new style of hotness. I hope you like it.”
On the other hand, KISS OF LIFE opened its first world tour in Seoul in October last year, followed by North America, Europe, and Asia, and then finished in Osaka, Japan in May. After that, it will meet with fans once again with an encore concert at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul for two days from July 19 to 20.
“We successfully completed our first world tour. It was a meaningful and precious time for me because it was a great achievement in a year since my debut,” Belle said. “I had to prepare an encore concert to repay the fan’s infinite love.”
“In this encore performance, we will reinterpret new songs along with more special arrangements to fill the set list in abundance,” she said.
Following “Summer Queen,” Belle said, “My goal is always to become No. 1 in music shows. I hope the music charts go up very high. I want to be No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 on the music charts”, showing her confidence.
Meanwhile, KISS OF LIFE’s fourth mini album “224” was released at 6 p.m. on the same day.
