The comeback of the group UNIS is just two days away.
UNIS (Jin Hyun-joo, Nana, Jelly Dangka, Kotoko, Bang Yoon-ha, Elisia, Oh Yoon-ah, Lim Seo-won) will release their second mini album 'SWICY' on the 15th at 6 p.m. and embark on full-fledged activities.
'SWICY' is a new song that allows listeners to feel UNIS's ever-changing charm once again. With 'SUPERWOMAN', they expressed Gen Z's quirky charm, and with 'You Don’t Know', they showcased Gen Z's confidence. This time, through the keyword 'SWICY', which embodies both sweetness and spiciness, they emphasize their lovely and lively image.
Previously, UNIS revealed a colorful preview of 'SWICY' through concept photos, a music video trailer, and a highlight medley. The group's ability to smoothly transition between sweet and spicy has heightened expectations for the new release. Now, just two days before the comeback, we have explored the key points of the anticipated new album 'SWICY'.
# Sweet yet unexpectedly spicy, the representative map-dal song of this spring 'SWICY'
UNIS's second mini album 'SWICY' is a neologism combining 'Spicy' and 'Sweet.' The harmony of spiciness and sweetness showcases UNIS's unique concept that reflects the global trend.
The title track 'SWICY' not only shares the 'map-dal' charm of the eight members but also features a catchy melody, addictive chorus, and lyrics that combine cuteness with bold emotions, delivering sweet yet spicy unexpected charm. UNIS is expected to penetrate the spring music scene with 'SWICY' that maximizes their distinctive lively energy.
# 'Gen Z Princess' → 'Swishy Girl' returns with a school look concept
A clear change is felt not only in the music but also in the concept. In this album, UNIS sheds the image of being called 'Gen Z Princess' and returns as the more honest and confident 'Swishy Girl.'
Particularly impressive is the 'Swishy Girl' expressed through the school look. The school look is the first style UNIS has presented since their debut, serving as a key point that visually narrates the story of this album. Breaking away from the typical confines of school uniforms, they managed to create a unique teen sensibility reminiscent of cheerleaders.
The eight members showcase the charm that naturally resonates from their age group by incorporating stories that anyone in their teens can experience into the album.
# Vendors·Brother Su·Root provide strong support→ aiming for global 'meme' beyond challenges
Along with the exciting comeback of UNIS, strong allies have also joined in support. First, the title track of this album involves the production team Vendors. Vendors is a team that has created numerous K-pop hits and was also responsible for the track 'Dream Girl' in UNIS's debut album. There is great interest in what kind of synergy will emerge from the reunion with Vendors, who portrayed UNIS's dreamy and pure mood with 'Dream Girl.'
Expectations for the performance are also high. The choreography for the title track 'SWICY' was enhanced with input from choreographer Root from 1MILLION, boosting its quality. Notably, the performance is optimized for the SNS dance challenges that have become a playful culture among Gen Z. This choreography not only intuitively illustrates the keyword 'SWICY' but also appears to be easy for anyone to follow, hinting at the birth of a meme beyond just a challenge.
The inclusion of the additional tracks cannot be overlooked. The tracks ''What Are You Doing?' from the seed of 'CIAAT' and 'DDANG!' have been written and composed by singer-songwriter Brother Su, making UNIS's characteristic liveliness even more prominent.
UNIS will release their second mini album 'SWICY' on the 15th, marking the start of their activities in 2025.
