The group WEi returns with the image of youth that has become stronger in the midst of chaos.

WEi will release their 7th mini-album, ‘The Feelings’, through various music sites at 6 PM today (the 15th). It has been approximately 1 year and 7 months since WEi released their 6th mini-album, ‘Love Pt. 3: Eternally’.

The title song, ‘NOT ENOUGH’, is an emo hip-hop genre with a shoegazing sound. It expresses the confused heart of longing and fear for you in the midst of a wait with no end in sight, with a dreamy and hazy melody.

In particular, with member Jang Dae-hyun participating in the lyrics and composition, WEi‘s unique color was added, and they are expected to show off intense and powerful group dances through various music shows.

The music video released along with the song sensually captures WEi facing the confusing emotions felt by youth. In a space where there is no trace of people at all and the distinction between dreams and reality is ambiguous, the members soon break their taboos one by one. They show the free-spirited youth itself by breaking mirrors, climbing on top of cars, and shouting at the top of their lungs.

In addition, this album includes a total of 5 songs, including ‘143 ILY’, which expresses WEi’s love language in numbers; ‘FAKE LOVE’, which melts the feeling of feeling like all the time spent together is fake with a band sound; ‘Top Shape’, which confidently seduces the other person with the R&B genre that stands out with its heavy 808 bass; and ‘Fear’, which directly yet touchingly depicts anxious feelings toward love.

Following the ‘IDENTITY’ series that dealt with the identity of youth and the ‘LOVE’ series that dealt with youthful love, WEi presents ‘The Feelings’, which deals with the ‘various emotions related to love’, the confusion, excitement, and They talk about frustration, anxiety, etc. In order to complete the album, the members put their heart and soul into every detail, from singing the songs to creating the choreography. Jang Dae-hyun shows off his evolved musical abilities by listing his name on the song credits of the title song ‘NOT ENOUGH’ and the b-side ‘Fear’.

Meanwhile, WEi will release their 7th mini-album ‘The Feelings’ through various music sites at 6 PM today (the 15th). They will also hold the show-con ‘2025 WEi SHOW-CON ’The Feelings’’ at 8 PM on the same day at Yes24 Wonderlock Hall in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.
