KISS OF LIFE is heightening anticipation for their comeback with a distinctive new storyline.

The group is set to release new music in April and, on Jan. 30, unveiled the second episode of their "Guess the Next Era" series titled "The Mass of Guilt – Bad News" via social media.

"Guess the Next Era" introduces KISS OF LIFE's new universe, unfolding a story in which members create beings that resemble themselves through slime kits, triggering a chain of events.

In the episode, Belle protects a slime on her own within a group driven by prejudice. After the slime—mirroring herself—disappears, she finds herself in conflict with other students and is shown shedding tears after encountering actress Han Ye-ri.

The subtitle "Bad News" recalls the group's 2023 track of the same name, which portrayed a troubled youth shaped by societal judgment and bias, adding greater immersion to the narrative.

Previously, on Jan. 26, KISS OF LIFE released the first episode, "Prima Contacta – Shhh," depicting Julie grappling with fear and inner turmoil ahead of the slime's creation.

Ahead of their album release, KISS OF LIFE will meet fans through their Asia fan meeting tour "DEJA VU," kicking off with a Seoul show in March.
