The group WEi has shared their goals for their activities.

On the 15th, WEi held a showcase to commemorate the release of their 7th mini album [The Feelings].

Yoo Yong-ha said, “Since we put a lot of time into this album, I hope the song will be remembered. I hope the song will be well-received.”

Kim Dong-han continued, “The song itself is good. I hope people play it a lot on the streets and in marts.” Kang Seok-hwa said, “It‘s a good song. I hope it will be the ’most listened to song of the year‘ and ’reverse run‘ because it can’t be successful all at once,” raising expectations for their activities.

The title song ‘NOT ENOUGH’ is an emo hip-hop genre with a shoegazing sound. In the midst of the endless wait, the longing and fear for you, the confused heart, is expressed in a dreamy yet hazy melody. Member Jang Dae-hyun participated in writing the lyrics and composing the music.

Including the title track, 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 the time spent together feeling 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 ‘I’m scared’, which depicts the anxious heart toward love with straightforward yet touching lyrics.

WEi‘s 7th mini album [The Feelings] will be released at 6 PM on the 15th.
