(SSM&L) AND2BLE has released their debut mini album, Sequence 01: Curiosity, available across platforms here (via YH Entertainment and Kakao Entertainment), along with a music video for the album's focus track "Curious". Comprised of ZHANG HAO, YOO SEUNGEON, RICKY, KIM GYUVIN, and HAN YUJIN, the group unites five members who each carry established global recognition, now channeling that energy into something entirely their own.
The group's name is itself a statement of purpose. AND2BLE is a combination of "AND" and "DOUBLE," carrying the meaning of expanding one's true self through overlapping layers of diverse inner identities rather than a single fragmented image. It reflects the team's vision of combining each member's individuality into one unique, singular brand - and Sequence 01: Curiosity is the first chapter of that story.
The album is rooted in a universal human instinct: curiosity. From the moment we enter the world, exploration begins, driven by the subtle pull between the familiar and the unfamiliar and the unexplainable sense of wonder that pushes us toward new territory. Sequence 01: Curiosity takes that impulse as its foundation, building five tracks that are as sonically adventurous as the feeling they set out to capture.
The album opens with its focus track, "Curious," an energetic EDM cut that combines synth-pop and future house elements, driven by house beats and thick synth bass. Confident, ambitious, and fully leaning into the charge of a new beginning, it sets the tone for everything that follows. "Aura" shifts into dreamier territory with synthesizer-led pop and R&B that showcases a different dimension of AND2BLE, where whisper-like vocals and the members' distinctive individual tones blend across lyrics about personal charm and presence, creating something at once sensorial and witty. "Sugar Rush" brings a pure dance-pop rush of groovy synth bass, funky electronic percussion, and bright bouncing hooks that rhythmically capture the sweet, addictive pull of love. "Bed" pivots to a more intimate space, a pop/R&B track that builds from restrained verses into an expansive chorus, layering deep bass, synths, and sweet falsetto harmonies over lyrics that wish for everyday life to be filled with dreams and happiness. The album closes on "Happy &," an alternative pop fan song with the warmth of early spring, easy to sing along to and impossible to forget, delicately capturing the joy of a meeting that feels destined.
About their debut the group shared, "Hello, we are AND2BLE. We're truly excited and happy to officially greet you as AND2BLE. Since our first mini album Sequence 01: Curiosity is our very first release, we prepared it with a lot of hard work and care, and we hope many people will show it lots of love. We're confident we'll be able to show you many different charms moving forward, so please look forward to what's to come. Thank you."
