After months of teasers and anticipation, brand-new boy group AND2BLE have finally hit the scene! This five member group first made headlines back in late March when an article went viral claiming that the group’s company had trademarked various names, one being AND2BLE. Soon after, an Instagram account with the same name dropped a photo of a logo along with the caption, “2026.05.26, coming soon.”
Though this group may be considered new, the members are no stranger to the idol life-as each one had previously competed on a survival show program (Boys Planet) resulting in them debuting within two different groups. Following the survival show, members Zhang Hao, Ricky, Gyuvin and Yujin debuted in the nine member project boy group ZEROBASEONE, whereas member Seungeon debuted in a seven member group called EVNNE.
Now, the boys have come together as five and re debuted with their first mini album, Sequence 01: Curiosity. This five track record explores the group’s various talents– from hard-hitting vocals to dreamlike beats–which offers something unique to each listener. The album opens with the group’s powerful title track, “Curious.” The song begns with ominous stripped vocals before quickly transitioning into fast-paced percussion instruments, creating a mysterious vibe. The song centers around the theme of dangerous curiosity and ambition which tie in with the instrumentals. Members Zhango Hao and Ricky helped contribute to those vibes as they are credited with writing some of the lyrics.
“Aura”, the second song on the album and the promoting B-side, features dreamy synth sounds that mimic a dream-like state. Paired with the beats are lyrics like, “Let me show you what I’m about, watch me,” the song’s theme explores the members’ aura drawing in someone. Member Ricky participated in the lyrical writing for this track, showcasing his various talents. Following “Aura” is the upbeat and poppy dance song, “Sugar Rush.” Despite the track’s upbeat rhythm, the lyrics contradict as they dive into the subject of dangerous and addictive love, creating a “sugar rush.”
As the album begins to wrap up, the group diverts from their high tempo track record to a more mellow and slower tempo song. “Bed”, similar to its title, encapsulates a story that begins within a dream. Lyrics such as, “It starts right here on the bed”, aid with the depiction of a relationship coming to life. The perfect closing to the record takes place with the song, “Happy&”, written by members Zhang Hao and Gyuvin. This track serves as a dedication to their fans, stating that they will be together forever and that there will be no end to their happiness.
AND2BLE may have just debuted, but with their previous experience, they are sure to capture the hearts of many around the world.
