■“Yukiakari” MV, which overlaps with the scene of &TEAM, which has been running through spring, summer, fall and winter with increasing momentum
&TEAM pre-released the music video for the title song “Yukiakari” from their second album “Yukiakari” to be released on December 18th at 24:00 on December 15th, and also started distributing the music.
“Yukiakari” is the title song that depicts a group of boys who take on the challenge of a new “beginning” even though it is the end of the season, with the confidence in their hearts that they can make it come true because they have spent the spring, summer, and fall together. Starting with an emotional guitar riff that brings to mind scenes of pale youth, the song gradually changes to a dynamic melody with a sense of speed, and throughout the spring, summer, fall, and winter activities, the band continues to set new personal best records and gain momentum. It also overlaps with the scene of &TEAM, which has been running through this.
VINCENZO, who has created K-Pop trends by working with various artists such as ILLIT, HIGHLIGHT, (G)I-DLE, and CHUNG HA, Bang Si-hyuk, the creator of BTS, and Soma Genda, who has been producing &TEAM since their debut. The strongest producers are participating in the production.
In the music video for the title song “Yukiakari”, despite being blocked by an inaccurate compass and a blizzard on the road at night, at the end of the music video, the nine people line up and stare at the future ahead, and it is a spring/summer song. It feels like a new beginning for the boys, who have become one after the fall and winter, and are taking on challenges with the confidence that they can achieve their dreams through their time together. As memories of the seasons the boys spent, the scenes where parts of the music videos for their first single “Samidare” and second single “Aoarashi” are recalled, remind us of the spring when each of them was looking at a different place. , it emotionally expresses the journey the boys have taken until winter, when their bond strengthened through the seasons. Look out for the passionate group dance set in a snow-covered field, with a cohesiveness that withstands the freezing cold.
At the end of the music video for “Yukiakari,” you might think the video would end with the &TEAM logo, but then the “DARK MOON” logo appears and the scene changes to a scene of boys riding in a car. The scene of the car leaving with the ticket with the destination written on it is reminiscent of a new beginning. The MV suggests that it is also connected to the HYBE original story “Black Moon: Gray City” in collaboration with &TEAM.
&TEAM’s 2nd album “Yukiakari” includes 4 new songs, as well as 22 songs including songs from the Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter series and Korean versions, and celebrates the past year. It is a symbolic work.
