EVNNE IS BARELY six months old, having debuted in September 2023, yet their talent is undeniable. The South Korean seven-piece boy group under Jellyfish Entertainment-KEITA, PARK HANBIN, LEE JEONGHYEON, YOO SEUNGEON, JI YUNSEO, MUN JUNGHYUN, and PARK JIHOO-have been commended for their chops on music survival shows, foremost Mnet's Boys Planet. Their renditions, as gorgeous as they are, have given them the momentum they've been toiling for. "We bring our exciting energy to the stage, captivating audiences with our infectious vibe," says PARK HANBIN.
Building on that momentum, with elements that are more mature and varied, EVNNE returns with their second mini-album, Un: SEEN. It’s also their return to prominence since their debut together on their maiden EP, Target: ME, showing off their boisterous side. With Un: SEEN, however, they reveal the unknown stories that have scarred them from their lives and their journey to debut—the “seen” and “unseen” parts of them.
I like the way the name EVNNE comes off. The agency has it that it comes from a mix of words that mean “Evening’s Newest Etoiles,” referring to a “new rising star in the night sky.” For them, putting something new into each endeavor has become their work language, with composing songs that best convey their thoughts being a priority. “Since our debut, we’ve been actively involved in album production by writing lyrics, and for this album, KEITA even helped compose the song ‘Festa.’ As we continue to grow, I hope we can eventually include songs entirely created by our members,” says LEE JEONGHYEON.
