We gather and have meetings before releasing an album. This time, we discussed trying to be cupids searching for love in the content. We wanted to express love in our own color and thought of cupids as beings who can give us a fantasy," they recalled.As their introduction suggests, the first mini-album 'WHICH WAY' is an album that captures the question of 'which way to go' on a journey together, with love as its theme. It includes a total of six songs: the title track 'WHICH WAY,' 'IF YOU SAY SO,' 'TRAPPED,' 'DOWN WITH IT,' 'WHO I AM,' and 'UP.'Daily:Direction expressed the journey and questions through different genres such as alternative, hip-hop, trap, electronic, indie pop, and punk. The six songs, each with a different genre, mood, and temperature, fully embody the charms of each of the six members of Daily:Direction.The title track 'WHICH WAY' presents a refreshing energy by interpreting the freedom of alternative hip-hop and alternative rock genres with sophisticated pop sounds. It poses the question of which direction to take in the process of the six members, who have different colors even while walking the same path, finding their individual identities and solidifying their identity as a team.Daily:Direction has planted 'shared freshness' as a differentiating factor, going beyond the freshness felt by the viewers. The members said, "We think our unique freshness comes from giving the feeling of performing together on stage." /OddwaveThe members explained, "We are in the process of finding ourselves by walking without a predetermined answer. In that process, there is intensity, but we also show refreshing and unique aspects, trying to be like chameleons. We want to be a team that suits any concept, so we try various concepts. This time, it was freshness."The refreshing concept is a process that almost all teams go through. Daily:Direction has planted 'shared freshness' as a differentiating factor, going beyond the freshness felt by the viewers. The members confidently stated, "It's a stage where the viewers can jump and play along. There are many parts that are easy to follow. We think our unique freshness comes from giving the feeling of performing together on stage."In addition, 'IF YOU SAY SO' expresses the excitement of moments spent with a partner with a sensual melody over a cheerful rhythm. 'TRAPPED' captures the emotions of being trapped, unable to forget someone, with rock sounds and trap beats. 'DOWN WITH IT,' an electronic genre song, expresses push-and-pull emotions, indie pop 'WHO I AM' expresses free energy, and 'UP' evokes freshness.The members introduced the songs, saying, "It's good to listen to while driving in a fancy city with lots of neon signs" ('IF YOU SAY SO'), "The intro part is touching and comforting. I hope many people can be comforted" ('TRAPPED'), "It's a good song to listen to while exercising" ('DOWN WITH IT'), and "It's a song like gentle waves. It's a song that gives a little bit of breathing room within the album" ('WHO I AM').Daily:Direction left a strong impression with their trendy sensibility and intense concepts in their debut single 'FIRST:DELIVERY' in February and their second single 'MONKEY MODE' in July. They created a familiar yet different story by adding their own color to the universal emotion of love.The members said, "It's an honor and I'm grateful to be able to come back in just three months when active promotion is important. We want to hear that our songs and performances are good and cool. Above all, we hope our fans will see them favorably," and promised, "We hope our songs will be heard on the streets. We will film and release a challenge on the spot as soon as the song comes out."Daily:Direction will release their first mini-album 'WHICH WAY' at 6 PM on the same day and begin their third promotion.kafka@tf.co.kr[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]
