Ready to explode like "BUBBLE GUM"!
Kep1er has undergone a "radical transformation," evolving from their previous innocent, charming image into more mischievous, competitive, and confident performers. This change represents a significant milestone in their ongoing growth, showing their potential to surprise audiences with unpredictable new directions.
The "BUBBLE GUM" album showcases Kep1er's signature strengths - powerful performances, addictive vocals, and captivating appeal - while incorporating their new playful, competitive persona. Each track on the album demonstrates the group's individual and collective talents, featuring catchy melodies and hooks that reinforce their evolving musical identity. The album promises to deliver a clear message to listeners through vibrant visuals and dynamic performances that solidify their distinctive sound.
The title track 'BUBBLE GUM,' which will fuel Kep1er's transformation, is a house-based EDM pop dance track with a powerful beat and a fluid, dynamic vocal range. The cynical lyrics, which seem to mock uncomfortable gazes and suggest a desire to devour everything in one bite, are interpreted with Kep1er's signature cool and energetic vocals, delivering a unique impact.
The album include four more tracks. 'Taste Better' is the intro track, its mix of electro synth piano and disco-inspired slap bass adds a groovy vibe and serves as the opening track for the title track, 'BUBBLE GUM'. 'Don't Be Dumb' is a fast-paced track that seamlessly blends aggressive bass lines with sharp, powerful synth sounds, is an up-tempo track that only Kep1er can deliver. 'Ice Tea' is a pop dance track with a distinctive pluck synth sound and a dreamy intro. The mix of rhythmic drums, heavy 808 bass, intense rapping, and an addictive melody creates diverse transitions, creating a refreshing, energetic summer image unique to Kep1er. This is the Korean version of 'YUM,' the title track from their first mini-album [AGAINST THE WORLD], released in Japan in April 2025. The newly added D-Bridge Dance Break section further enhances the explosive energy of 'YUM.'
