"BADDER LOVE,” A HOT SUMMER DAY

EVNNE returned on June 17 with their third mini-album, RIDE or DIE, delivering a refreshing and charming title song, “Badder Love.” The track begins with a mix of bass and guitar sounds with a synthesizer note bringing a little futuristic touch. Filmed in the beautiful setting of Jeju Island, the music video features stunning scenery at iconic locations on the island, like Mount Hallasan, Seopjikoji, and Cheonjeyeon Falls. The climax of the video shows one of the boys sticking his head out of the water after diving. Time slows down, with a long shot of his face in a suave atmosphere; this freeze frame shows all the beauty of youth at its peak. This short break gives way to a dynamic and fluid choreography. It is in an intimate environment, in the darkness of a faint light, that the seven boys perform a perfectly synchronized dance. Another captivating moment follows when EVNNE bathes and dances naively near the water, giving a feeling of lightness and happiness. The video ends with messages and drawings delivered by EVNNE on post-its, hung on Jeju Island as if to leave a souvenir of their visit.

NEVER STOP PROGRESSING

EVNNE's lyrics reflect their fearless passion and desire to pursue their dreams while emphasizing the importance of fan trust. The members have made significant efforts, particularly in language, as they present their first English title. Keita also contributed to the writing of the songs “XO” and “2배속 (2X),” while Jihoo created the choreography for the music video of “Badder Love.” With each new release, EVNNE continues to prove its progress and performance. They topped popular charts such as Bugs and won first place on KBS's Music Bank with their last release. 

Following the successful completion of their 2024 EVNNE FAN-CONCERT [SQUAD:R] ASIA TOUR in May, EVNNE is all set to embark on a North American tour, kicking off on August 7 in Montreal, Canada.
