AND2BLE targets 2026 with first comeback featuring five new tracks

AND2BLE held a showcase for their second mini-album, 'Sequence 02: Attraction', at the Blue Square Woori WON Banking Hall on the 27th. Following a debut this past May that saw 731,600 first-week album sales, the five-member group aims to make 2026 their year with this five-track release.

The group AND2BLE expressed their intention to make 2026 their year during their first comeback stage.

On the 27th, AND2BLE held a showcase for their second mini-album, 'Sequence 02: Attraction', at the Blue Square Woori WON Banking Hall, marking their first comeback since debut. ZHANG HAO stated that since debuting this past May, they have received much interest and concluded their debut healthily and happily, adding that the realization of being loved makes them look forward to this first comeback even more. He expressed a desire to show how much more AND2BLE has grown since their debut album.

Yoo Seung-eon shared that while they felt both excitement and nervousness about meeting fans during their debut, they want to let go of the tension this time and create a fun time. RICKY expressed excitement about meeting fans with new music and is looking forward to it, believing fans will like it. Kim Gyu-vin said he is happy to be with fans for this first comeback and noted that they prepared this album as extensively as their debut album. Han Yu-jin remarked that although they were very nervous during the debut showcase, they are now greeting fans with their first comeback, noting that all five members have returned having grown more than they did with the debut album.

The new album, 'Sequence 02: Attraction', captures an emotional flow where the curiosity started in the previous work, 'Sequence 01: Curiosity', leads to interest in a specific subject and then expands into a natural attraction. The new release contains a total of five songs, including the title track 'French Kissing', as well as 'Haunted', 'Potion', 'Beautiful', and 'Worth It'. RICKY explained that they expressed various forms of interest and attraction through these different songs.

The title track 'French Kissing' is a tropical R&B song that most intensely captures a moment of attraction. ZHANG HAO said that when he first heard it, the dreamy melody caught his ear, and as he listened more, the rich instrumental sounds and arrangement were enjoyable. He added that he believes they can show a different side from what they have shown before and is looking forward to the completeness when paired with the performance. Yoo Seung-eon stated that while preparing this album, he thought about how to promote the team and is working hard on practice because he wants to be recognized vocally by many. Han Yu-jin said their goal is for all five members to show their individual charms while presenting a highly complete image as a team.

Yoo Seung-eon said he feels he has become more solid vocally, noting that while he previously focused on reducing vocal cracks or mistakes, he now contemplates how to convey the atmosphere and emotion of a song, allowing for a more relaxed stage. AND2BLE recorded approximately 731,600 copies in first-week sales for their debut album this past May and has lifted a total of 12 trophies at major domestic and international award ceremonies within five months of debut. Kim Gyu-vin expressed hope that 2026 would be remembered as the year of AND2BLE, wishing that even as time passes, it remains a year of their debut and active promotion. Han Yu-jin mentioned that although not much of this year remains, they are preparing for various year-end stages and want to spend more happy times with fans. Kim Gyu-vin also said he wants to earn the label of a "growth-type group," while Han Yu-jin stated they want to be a group that repays expectations and interest to the point of hearing, "As expected of AND2BLE." The new album is released at 6:00 PM today.
