OMEGA X returns with its 4th mini-album, UNCAPPED, with members JAEHAN, YECHAN, XEN, KEVIN, SEBIN, JEHYUN, and HWICHAN in collaboration with Kooky. UNCAPPED is a special album for both OMEGA X and their fans, FOR X, as the fans were involved in the creative process from selecting the title track to deciding the unit group composition for tracks “Close to me” and “Cork.” JAEHAN, YECHAN, and XEN contributed heavily as lyricists and composers across the mini-album, with JAEHAN and YECHAN on all five tracks and XEN on three. Through UNCAPPED, OMEGA X expresses the group’s free and explosive energy that nothing can hold back. 

“Hello, this is Jaehan of OMEGA X. First of all, I would like to sincerely thank all the fans who have been waiting for OMEGA X’s new album. During our hiatus of more than two years, we also longed to return and greet you with new music. As much as you waited for us, we wanted to bring you even better songs, and we poured that sincerity into this album. I believe music has the power to be a source of strength for some people and comfort for others. This album reflects the stories and emotions we wanted to share, and I hope many listeners will be able to connect with it and find something meaningful in it. Please show lots of love and support for OMEGA X’s new album, UNCAPPED.” - JAEHAN, leader of OMEGA X

UNCAPPED opens with “Day Zero,” a UK garage-based track that reframes the act of starting again from zero with excitement rather than as a loss. Next is the title track, “Uncapped,” which expresses the explosive sensation of finally breaking free from suppression. The third track, “Close to me,” is a unit track written, produced, and performed by JAEHAN, XEN, and YECHAN that sings about accepting and embracing each other’s differences. The fourth track of the album, “Cork,” is another unit track from HWICHAN, SEBIN, KEVIN, and JEHYUN that uses the imagery of a well-aged wine finally uncorked to depict its mature self pouring out into the world. The album closes with “Life Detox,” an alternative pop track that shares the message that the idea of a perfect detox is a myth and expresses the freedom and liberation when one eases up and lets things pass. 

“Making a comeback as OMEGA X after such a long time feels especially meaningful to me. For this album, we tried to naturally incorporate the growth, experiences, and efforts we’ve accumulated over the years. I hope listeners can see those changes in a positive light and feel how much we’ve evolved through our music.” - YECHAN, maknae of OMEGA X 

Besides the release of UNCAPPED, OMEGA X recently held a fanmeet event,  OMEGA X JAPAN FAN LIVE EVENT Episode 1 "STAY, OMEGA X," their first-ever live fan event in Japan, held May 29-31 in Tokyo and June 5-7 in Osaka. FOR X can also look forward to more exciting news for the group in the coming months.
