The group P1Harmony(Kiho, Theo, Jiwoong, Intak, Soul, Jongseop)is raising expectations by making a comeback today(the 8th)with a new album filled with strong confidence.

P1Harmony will release all the songs from their 8th mini album ‘DUH !’ and the music video for the title song of the same name through various music sites at 6 PM today(the 8th).

The new album ‘DUH !’ is an album that wittily expresses P1Harmony’s overflowing confidence.It depicts the figure of P1Harmony, a unique hero who declares a hero’s strike against those who do not need them and then does whatever he wants.

The title song ‘DUH !’ is an old school hip-hop genre song with impressive lyrics like ‘The seat I sit on, the path I walk is the answer’.The title ‘DUH’ is an English expression with the nuance of ‘Who is this successful person? Of course it’s me! Why are you asking that! ‘, and it is utilized in the lyrics to intuitively reveal the theme of the album.

In addition to the title track, the album also includes songs of various genres and stories, such as’ Pretty Boy ‘,’ Murmur ‘,’ Flashy ‘,’ Over And Over ‘, and’ Work ‘.In particular, the members’ names are listed in the credits for all the songs, and they also participated in the performances, raising expectations for the unique colors of P1Harmony that have become even stronger.

P1Harmony met with their fans yesterday(the 7th)at the ‘Free Live Stage’ held at the waterside stage of Banpo Hangang Park Moonlight Square in Seoul.On this day, P1Harmony raised the comeback fever to its peak by revealing the performance of their new album’s title song ‘DUH !’ and the track ‘Pretty Boy’ for the first time, and they plan to continue this fever by engaging in active activities.

The following is a Q&A with Piwon Harmony regarding their comeback with their 8th mini album ‘DUH !’

Q1.How do you feel about making a comeback with your 8th mini album ‘DUH !’ ?

Kiho: I think we’re excited and looking forward to our comeback after 8 months! We really worked hard to prepare for this album, so I hope we can make many new memories with the members.

Theo: I’m looking forward to this comeback, as it’s been a while since I’ve been here, and I think I’ll be able to make a lot of good memories.

Jiwoong: I think I’m half excited and half worried.But I plan to enjoy it as much as I can since I prepared so hard.

Intak: I am looking forward to our activities even more as we make a comeback with a new genre! I hope this will be a good opportunity for us to reach out to more people!

Soul: I hope you all had a great time waiting for this comeback, Peace!

Jongseop: It’s been a while since our comeback, and there are many things to look forward to in this album, such as the self-composed songs we prepared.I hope you enjoy it as much as we put a lot of effort into it.



Q2.The theme of “Hero Strike” is strong.Please explain the concept of this album.

Symbol: If the last album ‘SAD SONG’ was an album about the sadness and loneliness of heroes, this time we prepared a confident concept album that asks, ‘Do you really not need us? When you are such great heroes?’

Intak: I think this album shows a stronger sense of confidence in Piwon Harmony.I tried to express the theme of the hero strike with the feeling of, ‘If you don’ t want us, we’ll just go on strike! If you want us, come back! ‘

Soul: We prepared an album where you can see the confident P1Harmony shouting, “You don’ t need us? You’re such a cool hero?”

Jongseop: I think this album is a continuation of the previous albums and also represents the hero concept that Piwon Harmony has continued to stick to very well.After peace was brought to the world, there are fewer people looking for heroes, and we cleverly captured the forgotten heroes and what happens after that.

Q3.In your previous work ‘SAD SONG’, you incorporated the Latin genre into the song to give it a fresh feel.Is there anything new you tried musically in this title song ‘DUH !’ ?

Symbol: If we tried the Latin genre in ‘SAD SONG’, this time we tried the old school hip-hop genre.Because it is such a famous and unique genre like the Latin genre, we worked while thinking a lot about ‘how can we pursue something new by incorporating the colors of P1Harmony into a familiar genre?’ , and I think we put a lot of P1Harmony’s colors into it.

Theo: I think this is our first time trying the old school genre.I think the genre itself is a new attempt.

Jiwoong: Since the track itself has a very heavy feel, I tried to make my vocalization a little heavier.In the part where I sing ‘Duh’, I tried to bring out the feeling of the expression as much as possible by showing my attitude rather than my vocalization or singing it prettily.

Q4.I’m also curious about the performance points that will be shown on stage.

Theo: The performance of Soul’s freestyle dance in the last chorus is impressive.I hope you’ll watch it.

Jiwoong: In this title song, we mixed a lot of each member’s choreography and gestures.I think it will be a good point of observation if you look for each member’s different choreography.

Soul: There is a part where we express the lyrics ‘DUH !’ It is a point choreography, so I think it would be good if you watched it carefully.

Jongseop: I personally remember the chorus choreography the most, so I hope you focus on the choreography in the chorus.

Q5.This time, the members actively participated in the album production.Is there a point that you paid the most attention to during the song production or album preparation process?

Kiho: I think we paid the most attention to the overall concept and visuals while preparing.Since it is an old school hip-hop genre, we thought that many people would think of costumes or concepts when they listen to the song, and we wanted to go in a direction that was as unique as possible.We thought about styling that suits us and P1Harmony, and tried to interpret this genre a little differently.

Jiwoong: Since we do a lot of performances, we focused on writing songs that would be good to use in performances.And we tried to write songs that would allow each member to show off their own charms.

Intak: Since I participated in writing the lyrics for all the songs, I tried to write more unique and distinctive flows and lines that I could express with my voice in this album.

Jongseop: While composing ‘Work’, I needed to understand a new genre, and I studied a lot to realize the feeling I wanted, from mixing to writing the melody.I put a lot of effort into showing you songs from as many different genres as possible, so I hope you’ll listen to it well.

Q6.Aside from the title track, if there is a song you like the most, please introduce it.

Kiho: I like ‘Pretty Boy’ the most, which I worked on.It wasn’t a song I made with the intention of including it in the album, but the quality turned out better than I expected, and the members seemed to enjoy it, so I’m thankful that it was included.I think the more I prepared for it, the more affection I have for it.

Theo: I think it would be ‘Work’.It was the first genre I was exposed to.

Jiwoong: It changes every time, but these days, I love ‘Flashy’ the most because I feel like I can show off my excitement and passion for the stage again during the concert.

Intak: I think ‘Pretty Boy’ is the song that best suits my style.I think it’s a song that has a charm that makes you dance just by listening to it!

Soul: It’s ‘Work’.It’s Jongseop’s self-composed song, and the sound is good and it’s music that sounds like it came out of a clothing store.

Jongseop: I think I have the most affection for the song I composed myself called ‘Work’.It’s a song with a really exciting beat, and I think the members ‘vocals give off a different vibe from the songs we usually sing.

Q7.What are the goals you want to achieve through this activity?

Symbol: I hope to always achieve the same number 1.And more than anything, I hope to create more precious memories with Peace.

Theo: I hope the members don’ t get hurt and we can make good memories together.

Jiwoong: Our goal is for all members to show us many great performances without getting hurt or tired.

Intak: Billboard Top 5? I think you have to aim big!

Soul: I definitely want to let many people know that P1Harmony is cool.

Jongseop: I hope more people will listen to and enjoy Piwon Harmony’s album.I also really want to play with many Peace members on many stages through this activity.

Q8.Lastly, a word to the peacemakers around the world who have been waiting for your comeback.
