I haven't seen that before.īyeongkwan: It’s really unique! Our stylist team is very open-minded, they try very hard and think a lot. Jeff Benjamin: Yes! The fashion is really cool, I feel like you did a mix of traditional and modern when you wear the hanbok over your streetwear. In the music video, that's seen with jade rings, ornaments and the hair bands with our hanbok outfits. But we wanted to make the accessories, the details, all the extra elements to be authentically Korean among Asian traditional elements. You might tend to think about Chinese or Japanese outfits when thinking about Asia. We bring that idea out on stage.Ĭhan: And for people from western countries, it might be hard to figure out what’s unique about Korean traditional elements when it comes to fashion. They’re fine to be around and hang out with humans, it’s more friendly. I think every culture has a different concept of goblins, but in Korean they don’t have horns, they’re not a monster figure, a Korean goblin is more human. Using that, our choreographer found a way for us to use traditional Korean wrestling in our choreography. It’s very vivid.īyeongkwan: Do you know Korean traditional wrestling ssireum? In Korean fairy tales, traditional goblins like to wrestle with humans. Jun: Since the title song’s title is “Goblin” in Korean, we had to really go with strong colors rather than something like pastels. Can you explain some of the different visual aspects? Jeff Benjamin: I've been so impressed by the visuals you've shown in your teaser photos and videos, I love the historical and traditional Korean elements in them. “Favorite Boys” more so shows A.C.E really does: strong sound and dance. A.C.E is known for their really strong choreography and strong beats whereas “Baby Tonight” is more easy-listening. But after a long discussion, we felt like “Favorite Boys" suits us more. There was “Baby Tonight,” which fits more of a sexy and dreamy concept and we loved it, while “Favorite Boys” was more powerful and up-tempo. Why was it the right song to choose as your single for this big comeback?īyeongkwan: Actually, there were two songs that were competing between being chosen for the title track. Jeff Benjamin: “Favorite Boys” is really powerful and impressive as a lead single. We want to meet the fans face-to-face, of course, but we feel lots of pressure because fans waited for us so long and we want to make it deserving of waiting. We have been preparing for this album from May until now and, this time, we’re really ready to show what we’ve prepared. ![]() We feel that pressure.Ĭhan: We want to show a different concept and choreographies every album. Since we put so much effort and time into preparing, we have to win. We’re really nervous because it's been almost ten months since our previous comeback, but excited to show our performance to our fans, Choice. Because this concept required us to work out our bodies-you might have seen a lot more of our muscles and our bodies in the initial pictures-we were focusing on our vocals, dance practicing, as well as working out. ![]() What’s been going through your minds during this release?īyeongkwan: Because of our pandemic situation, we’re not able to go anywhere except to our practice room, our house or the gym. Jeff Benjamin: Congratulations on this new comeback! I've been so excited for this album and this feels like a really big moment.
