[Dispatch=Yuha] "If you watch AND2BLE's performance, interest will turn into attraction." (Kim Gyubin)

AND2BLE's beginning was curiosity (Qurious). In their debut work, they posed questions toward an unfamiliar world. This time, they expanded to attraction toward a specific target.

They take one step closer to the object of their interest. Exploring each other, they build new moments and emotions. They showcase bolder and more sensual charm.

AND2BLE held a media showcase on the 27th in the afternoon at Blue Square OUR WON Banking Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, to commemorate the release of their second mini album 'Sequence 02: Attraction'.

'Sequence 02: Attraction' is AND2BLE's first comeback work. Zhang hao shared his thoughts, saying, "We received a lot of love after our debut. I wanted to show how much we've developed quickly."

Han Yujin also showed confidence. "I was very nervous at debut. This time, I think we'll be able to promote in a more enjoyable way," and "All five members have grown more than before," she said.

The new album contains AND2BLE's emotional changes. The curiosity that began in their debut work expanded to interest. Finally, it depicts the process leading to natural attraction.

A total of five songs are included. The title track 'French Kissing', 'Haunted', 'Potion', 'Beautiful', and 'Worth It'.

The title track 'French Kissing' is a tropical R&B track. It captures the moment of being drawn to each other. The moment of attraction when all senses seem to stop was compared to heaven.

Zhang hao recalled, "When I first heard it, the dreamy melody caught my ear. The instrumental sound and arrangements were also rich and interesting," and "I thought it was a song that suits AND2BLE well."

Yoo Seung-eon also hinted, "When I heard the signature sound of the chorus, I was convinced (it would do well). The atmosphere changes in the pre-chorus. It will stimulate curiosity."

In the music video, the process of attraction was visualized. It progresses through five stages: observation, exploration, relationship, discovery, and fusion. Through various objects such as threads and thermal imaging screens, the process of falling for each other was sensually depicted.

AND2BLE showcased the title track stage for the first time that day. They alternated between explosive high notes and sweet falsetto. Ricky and Kim Gyubin added a distinct charm with intense French rap.

Ricky explained, "It was my first time singing French lyrics. It wasn't easy to learn the pronunciation and rhythm," but added, "It was enjoyable to learn step by step. I prepared hard to capture the song's atmosphere."

Sensual charm was incorporated into the performance. Instead of intense energy, they chose soft and restrained movements. They emphasized sophistication through relaxed gestures and delicate facial expressions.

In particular, hand movements reminiscent of lips are the key point. Dubbed the 'French Kissing dance'. Han Yujin introduced it, saying, "You cover your mouth with your hands. Think of it as two lips and overlap them."

AND2BLE debuted last May. They drew attention for stage manners unbecoming of rookies and solid teamwork. Since members with diverse stage experience came together, they boasted exceptional completeness from the start.

The results were impressive. Their debut album 'Sequence 01: Qurious' recorded 730,000 initial sales. They also swept various trophies at major award ceremonies. They achieved a total of 12 awards.

However, anticipation was greater than pressure. Yoo Seung-eon said, "I wanted to repay the fans' love with a more impressive stage," and "Comebacks are always new and nerve-wracking. I'm looking forward to the memories we'll create going forward."

They will also be with fans at year-end. AND2BLE has their first fan concert coming in December. Kim Gyubin revealed his aspirations, saying, "I hope 2026 is remembered as AND2BLE's year. We will become a group that shows an upward curve in every way."

AND2BLE will release 'Sequence 02: Attraction' through major music sites at 6 p.m. on the 27th.
