Group tripleS S released their regular album ‘ASSEMBLE25’ at 6 PM on the 12th and began promotions with all 24 members with the title song ‘Wake Up’.

Triple S is K-pop’s first “fan participation girl group” and has established a unique system where fans directly vote on title songs and unit combinations.The full group album “Assemble” is a large-scale project in which all 24 members participate once a year, and following “Assemble 24,” the first 24-member full group album released in May 2024, “Assemble 25” is considered the pinnacle of this trend.

At the showcase held at the Blue Square Mastercard Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 12th, all 24 members dressed in school looks came up on stage and caught everyone’s attention.The title song ‘Wake Up’ was selected through a vote by 28,233 global fans.

Based on the alternative dance genre, the addictive chorus of ‘la la la la’ repeats and the individuality and intense performance of each member stand out.As can be seen in the lyrics, “When I open my eyes, happiness is all here, it’s shining, we’re here,” the song contains a message for those who are wandering between hope and despair.

Last year, Triple S sang “If you hold on with all your might, life will eventually find meaning” through the title song “Girls Never Die” from “Assemble 24.” In their new album “Assemble 25,” they vividly portray “the stories in the hearts of young people living in this era, more deeply and more passionately.” Photo courtesy of Modehouse

The released music video for ‘Wake Up’ is an extension of last year’s ‘Girls’ Never Die ‘and expands on the existing worldview narrative, delivering the message of “let’s wake up in the darkness of the world and stand in solidarity with each other.”

In the showcase Q&A, leader Yoon Seo-yeon also expressed her gratitude to the fandom ‘Wave’ for selecting ‘Wake Up’ as the title song.”I think we had more faith in the song than anything because it was chosen through voting by many fans,” she said, adding that while preparing the title song, “I also received a lot of comfort like the message contained in the song.”

In addition to the title track, this album contains a total of 10 tracks including ‘@%’, ‘Yesterday’s Fireworks ‘,’ Love Child ‘,’ Persona ‘,’ Too Hot ‘,’ Diablo ‘,’ Friend Zone ‘, and’ Love to Love ‘, showing off Triple S’s diverse colors.

Triple S is a group that has built a worldview that combines quantum physics and the concept of the multiverse.The 24 members are each called’ S ‘as’ units of possibility ‘, and the unit that is their combination is defined as a’ Dimension ‘.Fans actively participate in the group’s activities by voting to decide which ‘S ‘will belong to which’ dimension’.

Meanwhile, Triple S plans to expand their communication with their global fandom by reaching a new peak of narrative with this full group comeback.
