New K-Pop Boy Group XODIAC to Release Three-Part Video Narrative for Their Upcoming Mini-Album
The ground-breaking group will also embark on an overseas showcase tour visiting Amsterdam on May 30 and London on June 1
Following their massively successful premiere for “THROW A DICE,” rookie K-Pop group XODIAC will release a three-part video for the singles “ALWAYS,” “MIDNIGHT SKY,” and “SPECIAL LOVE,” from their upcoming mini-album THROW A DICE launching in June. The first episode titled “My Strange Roommate” with the single “ALWAYS” was revealed on the ground-breaking groups’ YouTube channel, with episode two airing today and episode three airing at a later date, respectively. The boy group will also perform in Amsterdam on May 30 at the Melkweg venue and in London on June 1 at the Clapham Grand venue as part of their debut showcase tour. Ticketing information can be found here.
Having just debuted this past month with the first official nine members of the group, XODIAC is taking the world by storm with their music video for “THROW A DICE” already surpassing over one million views in just one week. Even before the award-winning group’s highly anticipated premiere, the group has made their mark on the industry. The award-winning group’s pre-debut all-English single “CALLING” became an instant hit, garnering more than 1.6 million views on the music video to date, giving fans a preview of their soon-to-be musical prowess.
The first part of the series, Episode 1: My Strange Roommate, opens up with a slightly ominous encounter between members LEX and HYUNSIK, but quickly switches over to a carefree, laid-back vibe. The single “ALWAYS” plays as we join the members as they enter college, experiencing idyllic days complete with dorm life, budding friendships, and late-night snack trips. Despite the fun, charming energy of this first single, something is clearly amiss, and this episode lays the groundwork for the following two episodes to come.
Episode 2: The Secret of Roommate continues where episode one left off, but this time the overall mood shifts away from that optimistic, innocent springtime vibe to something a bit softer and more nostalgic. Camping trips, sleepovers, and bonfires complete the visual atmosphere, pairing perfectly with “MIDNIGHT SKY”’s stripped piano and string melodies that add a layer of maturity to XODIAC’s sound. Episode-wise, the plot thickens as we get more insight on HYUNSIK’s background and why he’s been so restless as of late, giving it a bittersweet feeling that permeates “The Secret of Roommate.''
The final episode, Episode 3: Missing Roommate, will be released at a later time to conclude the trilogy series and upcoming mini-album.
