YB expressed his feelings about collaborating with junior band X-Dinner Heroes.

YB said at a listening session for the new band `Odyssey' held at Mapo Rolling Hall in Seoul on the 17th, `We collaborated with the young band X-Dinner Heroes'' and `They met when they saw us rearranged into 'Poro' metal.'

Consisting of vocalist Yoon Do-hyun (guitar, keyboard, harmonica), bass Park Tae-hee, drum Kim Jin-won, and guitarist and music director Heo Jun, YB was formed in 1996 and has been greatly loved as a representative Korean rock band through its signature songs 'Baekwhale', 'I must have loved Butterfly', 'I'll forget', 'Baekha Candy', and 'Send You' and 'LoveToo'.




On the 26th, the new report 'Odisei' will be released and the 30th anniversary of its debut will be celebrated splendidly. It is the first time in two years that YB has released a new song since the single 'Promise' in February 2023. The album 'Odisei' contains a message in which the protagonist, who suffered from external oppression and internal conflict, discovers his inner strength and hope, finds himself and begins his journey to freedom.

The title song 'Orchid' depicts a message of losing oneself in pain and feeling skeptical about human life. Im Jin-mo "Is it really what YB did. It's not going to be easy to follow the metal," said bass Park Tae-hee, while "(Yoon) Do-hyun seriously told our members. To be honest, thank you for asking me to do the dream music I was sleeping with before it was too late" he replied.

Another title song 'Rebelion' depicts the will of freedom to no longer remain silent to oppression. Above all, it is a song with junior band X-Dinner Heroes, which attracts attention. YB, which was formed in 1996, will be joined by the rookie band 'JYP's X-Dinner Heroes, who debuted in 2021, boasting a sum that exceeds their 25th year since debut.




Yoon Do-hyun features the young band XDINARY HEROES. I worked on their albums once. The reason they contacted me was that they arranged 'Pororo' into metal at a college festival, and they were moved when they saw it. He came to me saying that he needed a singer who could sing grilling. They are so cute and good at playing."

Then "I made it because I needed a song to enjoy on stage. During the monitoring process, he said it would be nice to pre-release it, so we released it first."

Kim Jin-won said "In the past, I used to copy and perform, but I had to follow the old style again. Metal-style drums have also changed drastically. I thought about how much I could do and pulled it out as much as I could."




YB will release the pre-release song 'Revelion' on the 5th, and release the entire new song 'Odisei' at 6 p.m. on the 26th.
