This new project is distinguished by the direct involvement of the members in composition and songwriting, allowing for a true artistic ownership.
AN EFFORTLESS SENSUALITY EMBODIED BY EVNNE
The music video for EVNNE’s “How Can I Do” stands out with its sophisticated and fluid aesthetics, illustrating the unfolding of romantic emotions. The video features the members styled with relaxed elegance, capturing with softness and sensuality the evolution of feelings before the beginning of a love story. The direction uses smooth camera movements that follow the members through various atmospheres.
From a choreographic standpoint, the dance is elegant and precise, designed to enhance the group’s stage dynamics. The video highlights the synergy of the seven members who display a perfectly effortless sensuality, where every movement and every glance feels both natural and meticulously crafted. This relaxed ease lies at the heart of their charm: far from overdoing it, the group imposes a fluid elegance that captures attention without ever forcing it. Hanbin, notably, with his bold crop top and understated charisma, perfectly embodies this posture and sets the tone right from the start. His smooth voice, along with those of the other members, wraps the melody in an intimate yet light atmosphere. This vocal choice creates a languid but airy mood, giving the whole a sophisticated and ethereal color. The boys seem to strike the perfect balance between determination and nonchalance, as if exploring new sonic territories—more assertive but without any rigidity.
This cool attitude, claimed by the group and palpable in every shot, finds its perfect embodiment in the song and its arrangements: everything breathes the group’s growing maturity without sacrificing their freshness. Ultimately, it is undoubtedly this new quiet assurance and the collective harmony that gives “How Can I Do” its most alluring dimension—a contagious confidence that also resonates deeply with the fans.
