Group NEWBEAT (Park Min-seok, Hong Min-seong, Jeon Yeo-yeo-jeong, Choi Seo-hyun, Kim Tae-yang, Jo Yoon-hoo, Kim Li-woo) will release the second pre-released song ‘HICCUPS’ and music video from their first full-length album ‘RAW AND RAD’ through various music sites at 6 PM on the 12th.

‘HICCUPS’ is a song that stands out with its addictive hook, unique beat, and unique sound. It expresses the challenges and pain that boys face as they try to overcome their internal and external limitations while growing up, through the element of ‘hiccups’. Also, ‘Hiccup’ is a trigger right before the boys‘ body organs are overexpressed, and it will be related to the first pre-released song ‘JeLLo(힘숨찐)’.

New Beat’s first pre-released song ‘JeLLo(힘숨찐)’, which was released on the 5th, ranked 9th on the ‘K-Pop Radar’ Weekly Fandom Chart. It is gathering attention among K-pop fans for its intense old-school genre music as well as the sensual visual beauty of the short-form music video that seems to cross over the animation and sci-fi genres.

New Beat is a 7-member boy group presented by Beat Interactive, and includes Park Min-seok, from Mnet‘s ‘Boyz Planet’, and Jeon Yeo-yeo-jeong, from group TO1. Also, even before their debut, they built up their skills through domestic and international busking tours and formed a global fandom.

In addition, New Beat is raising expectations for their official debut with unusual moves such as releasing two pre-released songs, debuting with a full-length album, and even announcing a global debut show on Mnet.

New Beat will release their second pre-released song, ‘HICCUPS’, through various online music sites at 6 PM on the 12th. They will also release their first full-length album, ‘RAW AND RAD’, on the 24th at 6 PM, and will hold their global debut show, ‘Drop the NEWBEAT’, through Mnet and M2 YouTube channels at 8 PM on the same day.
