TEMPEST is back, and this time, they're all about youth, energy, and vibrant spring vibes.

The group unveiled their 6th mini albumRE: Full of Youth on March 31 through a media showcase held at Blue Square Mastercard Hall in Seoul. It's been a year since their last release — and they're ready to bloom like spring.

"We drew inspiration from the concept of 'voyage' in our previous album," said Hyeongseop. "Facing fierce waves and storms is also part of youth. We want to show how much we've grown."

☀️ From storms to sunshine — a refreshing shift

TEMPEST is shedding their stormy concept and embracing a refreshing, bright energy.

With their new title track Unfreeze, they step into a new season — one filled with optimism, freedom, and first love butterflies.

"Last year, we wrapped up our 'Storm' series," explained LEW. "This time, we're diving into a completely different theme — fresh and youthful."

The album contains 5 tracks:

• Unfreeze (Title)
• WE ARE THE YOUNG
• Destiny
• ONLY U CAN
• COME BACK HOME

🎶 Title track: Unfreeze

A dance-pop track bursting with passion and innocence. The song captures that heart-melting moment when love breaks the ice.

"The point choreography shows us pulling a rope and letting go — it's like playing freeze tag," said Hanbin, smiling.

The group's visuals also got a spring upgrade. Decked out in soft pinks, they brought the season's warmth to the stage.

"We want to share bright, positive energy — just like spring," Hanbin added.

💌 Fan love? Always

Track ONLY U CAN is dedicated to their fandom, iE. Written by member LEW — who also penned their last title LIGHTHOUSE — the song frames fans as the stars of their own movie.

"I wrote the lyrics imagining everyone listening as the lead in 'ONLY U CAN'," said LEW. "I wanted it to feel like a dream."

🌸 Comeback goals? "Unfreeze during cherry blossom season"

The members reflected on their growth, both as artists and individuals.

"A year ago, I was full of fear," shared Hyeongseop. "But preparing this album helped me overcome it. We even contributed to stage direction and concept meetings."

As for their 2024 goals?

"We want Unfreeze to be the soundtrack of spring," said LEW. "We're aiming for easy listening that brings us closer to the public."

"It'd be amazing if TEMPEST could be remembered as a part of someone's youth," Hyeongseop added. "We'll keep delivering positive energy through our performances."

🌍 Next stop: Macau

TEMPEST is heading overseas for their 'RE: Full of Youth in Macau' showcase at Broadway Theatre this May.

"We want to connect with even more iEs and show how much we've grown," said Hyeongseop.
