[Dispatch=Yuha Sky Reporter] "I hope it becomes the most memorable record when people think of AND2BLE." (Kim Gyubin)
AND2BLE has graced issue 35 of 'D-ICON'. The title is 'And The Summer'. It captures the moment of boys as refreshing as sunlight. It is the most transparent appearance possible at this time.
'D-ICON' was together with AND2BLE's beginning. This edition consists of a total of 2 types (A·B) with different concepts and atmospheres to express the excitement of their first summer.
"I wanted to capture the initial heart and energy we had while preparing for debut in (D-ICON). Before filming, we talked with the members about 'let's show AND2BLE's natural and honest side.'" (AND2BLE)
The first pictorial was completed against the backdrop of a blue garden and pond. It captured the moment boys enjoying rest. Unadorned expressions and natural movements are woven throughout the photographs.
Beneath the clear sky, youthful beauty was fully revealed. Kim Gyubin recalled, "It felt like traveling with the members," and "I breathed in plenty of phytoncide and even my head became clear."
Another pictorial is AND2BLE's languid afternoon. The members created an atmosphere as if just waking from sleep. They naturally leaned their bodies against sofas, windowsills, and floors to complete a comfortable mood.
Both A and B types include 2 concepts. B type adds unit pictorials. You can see the chemistry of Zhang hao and Yujin, the 'oldest members,' and the refreshing visuals of Yuseo, Ricky, Kim Gyubin, and others of the '04 line.'
Type A includes 4 types of inclusions total. 3 types of photocards (selfie, lucky, instant) totaling 15 sheets are included in a photocard case. Personal cover images for each member are engraved on the box. The instant photos also include members' handwritten signatures.
Type B inclusions are also substantial. Selfie photocards, film postcards, and acrylic stands have been prepared. In particular, the back of the postcard contains 'a letter to myself a year from now.'
The members wrote their resolute determination in the letters. Yuseo conveyed, "I want to brighten the world with current passion and music," and "I hope to always believe in myself and move forward."
'D-ICON' has three-dimensionally recorded AND2BLE's first summer. Type A contains candid interviews with the members. Type B features stories and TMI from staff who watched over them up close.
Throughout the interviews, members did not hide their trust and affection for each other. Although not long after debut, AND2BLE has already become the most reliable family to each other.
"When it's tough or tiring, I think of the members first. When we notice each other's state without speaking, I feel like family." (Ricky)
