The group Close Your Eyes predicted another leap forward.
Close Your Eyes is a seven-member boy group composed of Jeon Min-wook, Majing Xiang Jang Yeo-jun, Kim Sung-min, Song Seung-ho, Kenshin Seo Kyung-bae selected through the audition program 'Project 7'.
Close Your Eyes' debut album Eternality, released on April 2, surpassed 300,000 copies at the beginning, setting a record of 5th place in the boy group's debut album. The title song 'All poems and novels in me' succeeded in charting in the latest charts with Melon Hot 100, the country's largest music site, and rose to No. 1 on Bugs. This is a very unusual achievement among new boy groups.
On the 6th day of his debut, he also achieved his first No. 1 ranking in music programs on 'The Show' and his first No. 1 ranking in terrestrial music programs on 'Music Bank' on the 9th day of his debut. As a result, Close Your Eyes is considered the most successful case among boy groups from audition programs after Wanna One and Zero Base One upon their debut.
Jeon Min-wook said, "I thought the fans would like it more if we show better performances as much as you love us, so I worked hard to prepare it with a sense of responsibility rather than pressure" he said.
They will make a comeback on the 9th with the release of their second mini-album 'Snowy Summer'. Snowy Summer is a delightful and witty album about boys who have become free ghosts, a season of reversal. It contains the team's direction to write 'Eternal' across time and past, present, and space.
Actor Lee Soo-hyuk appeared in the teasing content, making headlines.
Jeon Min-wook said "Lee Soo-hyuk also came to congratulate us when we won #1 on Music Bank. I was very grateful that he helped us in this album. A handsome senior appeared on the show, so I wanted to have that kind of visual, and I respect himWhen we got #1 on "Music Bank", she filmed us and congratulated us with a bouquet of flowers. I was so surprised and thankful. You asked me to take a picture together behind the stage, so I took a picture together, and you said let's eat when we have time. I think those words were very meaningful, so it gave me a lot of strength," he thanked.
Close Your Eyes is determined to repay the support and love received through its first solo fan meeting 'Closer Moments' tour. Watching their stage and seeing their fans shedding tears, they felt a stronger heart, and they will show better music and activities based on the emotion and growth of the day.
Jeon Min-wook said, "I think our biggest identity is to do music that is convincing and good to listen to even when we close our eyes like the team name. If you look at our albums, I think we have our own innocence and naturalness that we didn't decorate very much. There are a lot of playful parts in this music video, and in reality, the members play around a lot, so I think those images naturally melted well. I think our strength is our naturalness. What kind of naturalness is that we usually play around a lot, and those fits well with this album, and I think we have a lot of playful sides of our daily lives. And I think our members are slightly differently handsome, so I think it'll be another attractive point of the album."
Close Your Eyes works under a double-title system. 'Snowy Summer' is a warm pop R&B song with a house feel. Through the contrast of the conflicting images of summer and snow, the joyful imagination was playful. The double title song 'Paint Candy' is a dancerable R&B track that borrows the vibes of New Jack Swing, giving it a newness with a unique material called paint candy.
Jeon Min-wook said, `I think our music is good to listen to anytime, anywhere, rather than performance that can be expressed as a definite indicator. Unlike other summer season songs, it is a song that contains the special characteristics of snow in summer, so I hope many people will listen to it with curiosity, and if you listen to it, I think you will fall in love with our music.'
