SEOUL,
South Korea, Aug. 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The girl group UNIS is
returning to the music scene with their first single album,
CURIOUS.
UNIS, the global girl group formed through the collaborative
program Universe Ticket by SBS and F&F Entertainment, is
comprised of eight members: four Koreans (Jin Hyeonju, Bang Yunha,
Oh Yoona, and Lim Seowon), two Filipinas (Gehlee Dangca and
Elisia), and two Japanese (Nana and Kotoko). With their remarkable
skills honed from the Korean reality competition show Universe
Ticket, UNIS is swiftly solidifying their position as the next
major sensation in the world of K-pop, backed by a devoted fan
base.
UNIS has attracted considerable attention for their unique and
international member composition, setting them apart in today's
K-pop landscape. Their official debut in March with the mini album
WE UNIS and the debut track SUPERWOMAN set a new
benchmark for rookie groups, earning them widespread acclaim and
raising expectations for their upcoming projects.
UNIS returned on August 6,
approximately five months after their debut with CURIOUS.
The song showcases the group's remarkable confidence and lively
experiences in the lives of young women. The album delves into the
experience of being a young woman, focusing on self-discovery and
the importance of "I" and "We," expressed through a range of
emotions and sincere language.
CURIOUS includes three tracks that demonstrate the group's
musical range. The title track, Curious, has a lively and
fresh feel, reflecting the dynamic personalities of the eight
members. Datin' Myself exudes an upbeat and playful energy,
while Poppin captures the spirit of "our ideal party" by
celebrating the happiness of being together.
UNIS has undergone a remarkable musical transformation with this
album. When they debuted, they charmed K-pop fans with their
kitschy and self-confidence. This time around, they're back with a
darker, more powerful side and a bold ambition to heighten
curiosity within the audience about UNIS.
The change is particularly evident in the title track,
Curious, which contrasts with the trendy and catchy melody
of Superwoman by incorporating intense electric guitar,
bass, and drums to create a more dynamic sound.
UNIS embraces a fresh concept by transforming into eight Gen Z
princesses. These princesses reflect distinct personalities and
showcase the bold, self-assured, and determined aspects of UNIS,
setting them apart from the traditional image of innocent, docile
princesses.
Gen Z values individuality and personal stories, and UNIS has
tapped into this by focusing on "self-expression and subjectivity."
This concept is clearly demonstrated in the music video for their
main track, Curious. The music video captures the
digital-native sensibilities of Gen Z.
In the music video, the members explore their quest for identity
by moving back and forth between a virtual world linked to social
media and the real world. The use of kitschy objects further
amplifies the Gen Z vibe, showcasing their confident
self-expression.
CURIOUS is already making waves with their latest
release. The dramatic shift from their debut album has garnered
widespread praise from both the general public and K-pop
enthusiasts.
Upon its release, CURIOUS climbed to the top of the
iTunes charts in five countries—Germany, Qatar, Colombia, Finland, and the
Philippines. The album also topped the iTunes charts in the
U.S., Singapore, the U.K.,
Canada, France, Australia, Hong
Kong SAR, and more,
solidifying its global impact. Additionally, the album's initial
sales exceeded 60,000 copies, a significant increase compared to
their previous album, WE UNIS.
It is clear from this remarkable performance that UNIS is on a
rising trajectory in the K-pop industry. In under a year since
their debut, UNIS has consistently expanded and cemented their
place in the fiercely competitive K-pop market. We are excited to
witness their next steps.
