While last year was a time of excitement and thrill, rushing through their debut album and mini 2nd album promotions, this year is a time of confidence, looking towards greater heights with a remarkably grown presence.CLOSE YOUR EYES has showcased diverse transformations and expanded their musical spectrum through their past three mini-albums, but 'emotion' has always been at the core, earning them the moniker "literary boy."Ahead of Chuseok, the members wrote a three-line poem for 'Hangawi,' and even within these short sentences, their "literary boy" sensibility, wit, and affection for Closers (fandom name) are fully conveyed. Their capabilities, which have steadily increased their involvement in albums, including lyric writing, shone through once again in these brief phrases.(Han) If there's a moment of sadness (Ga) I'll give you comfort that warms your heart (Wi) (Minwook)(Han) Debuted in Korea and spent time together, isn't CLOSE YOUR EYES (Ga) so cool? I love you so much, our Closers, and let's go up together for (Wi)n! (Xiang)(Han) I'll only say this once. (Ga) You are the most precious, and you will always (Wi)th me in my heart. (Yeojun)(Han) Every single moment, for our Closers who have cheered and waited with the (Ga)me's hottest support, I prepared this, so don't miss out on this '256th Note' and wait with your eyes wide open!! (Sungmin)(Han) What are you doing on Chuseok? (Ga)zing around and taking a nap while looking at the sky is the best~ (Seungho)(Han) Meeting my family-like ClUa and Closers in Korea gives me (Wi)nspiration. Have a joyful Chuseok! (Kenshin)(Han) It's Chuseok. Have a (Ga)inful holiday. The moon will be beautiful (Wi)th you. (Kyungbae)CLOSE YOUR EYES has truly captured their "literary boy" sensibility, wit, and affection for Closers (fandom name) even in short three-line poems. The photo shows them performing at the '2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS'. / Reporter Bae Jeong-hanIn their first album 'ETERNALT,' released in April last year, CLOSE YOUR EYES opted for literary titles and lyrics like 'My lyrics become subtitles in this movie that captures you,' 'How to Dance in the Rain,' and 'The Day Apples Fell Upwards,' centering around the title track 'All the Poetry and Novels Within Me,' instead of strong beats and direct hooks. Their restrained vocals and lyrical melodies stood out.That color expanded with a different face in each album. In their mini 2nd album 'Snowy Summer,' they combined contrasting images of midsummer and snow, transforming trivial everyday subjects like 'ᅲ' and 'Bubble Tea in My Left Hand' into fresh emotions. In their mini 3rd album 'blackout,' they broadened their scope from boyish lyricism to mature performances while keeping emotions at the center of their stories.The power that runs through CLOSE YOUR EYES's music is capturing fleeting emotions and translating them into images and stories, regardless of genre changes. Based on this, their first album's initial sales of approximately 310,000 copies in the first week nearly doubled to about 570,000 copies with their mini 3rd album. Looking at that journey, the upcoming mini 4th album '256th Note,' to be released on the 30th, makes us anticipate another growth.CLOSE YOUR EYES gained momentum by winning the Global Hot Trend award at the '2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS' held at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium on the 19th, and their explosive performance made us look forward to their next step.Having completed preparations for their new album with solid teamwork, musical talent, and passion, CLOSE YOUR EYES will take a brief breather during the Chuseok holiday. It's a moment of calm before the explosion. The members, along with their 'Hangawi' three-line poems, reminisced about their Chuseok memories and greeted fans once again. As their comeback approaches, they also expressed their determination for their new album promotions.CLOSE YOUR EYES will release their mini 4th album '256th Note' on the 30th. The members stated, "Having had a break (during the Chuseok holiday), we want to work even harder during promotions to show Closers an even better side of ourselves." The photo shows them receiving the Global Hot Trend award at the '2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS'. / Reporter Park Heon-woo"I remember talking with my mom while looking at the cars on the highway during the trip back home when I was young. There was a car my mom liked, so I promised her I'd buy it for her someday. I haven't kept that promise yet, but I still haven't forgotten! I gain a lot of strength from my family during Chuseok, and I want to show a great performance with this comeback." (Minwook)"When I was in China, during the holidays, I used to eat home-cooked meals with my family, watch TV together, and spend time. If I have free time, I want to eat hot pot with my family! I also want to rest well, recharge my energy, and present a great stage to Closers as a gift!" (Xiang)"When I gathered with my cousins for Chuseok in elementary school, I remember playing soccer on my grandfather's truck! This Chuseok holiday, since the comeback is right after, I plan to focus on managing my condition and preparing for promotions, and I think I'll visit my parents!" (Yeojun)"I vividly remember drawing a Yut Nori board on the back of a calendar with a magic marker and playing Yut Nori with my relatives gathered in the living room. This Chuseok holiday, I think I'll spend enjoyable time with my family after a long time, and I'll use that energy to show you all a truly wonderful performance with this new album!" (Sungmin)"When I go to my grandmother's house during Chuseok, she makes braised short ribs, which is one of my favorite dishes, so I really want to eat it this Chuseok. I plan to spend time with my family during this Chuseok holiday, rest, and work hard during this promotion!!" (Seungho)"The first Chuseok holiday I spent in Korea, I couldn't go to Japan and was worried about what to do alone in Korea when all the members asked me if I wanted to come to their houses, which made me really happy. This Chuseok, I plan to spend time with my family. I'll gain a lot of strength by spending time together after a long time, and I plan to work hard until the end of the promotions!" (Kenshin)"I was very busy preparing for the comeback, but I think I'll rest and heal in my hometown. And as much as I've rested, I want to work harder during promotions to show Closers an even better side of myself. If I get the chance, I want to go to the very end of the land with my family and see the sea!" (Kyungbae)kafka@tf.co.kr[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]
