Group Ace is drawing attention with their gentle charm for the intensity of ‘PINATA’.

Ace (Park Jun-hee, Lee Dong-hoon, Wow, Kim Byung-kwan, Kang Yoo-chan) sequentially released individual and group cuts in black outfits from the concept photos of their third single album ‘PINATA’ through their official SNS on the 11th.

‘PINATA’ is a doll used in modern-day America and Central and South American countries for children‘s festivals, birthdays, and other special occasions. Ace interprets ‘PINATA’ as something that contains sealed negative emotions and senses such as human sadness and pain, and plans to depict a journey of liberation that breaks ‘PINATA’ in this album.

The concept photos released that day show Ace’s new theme at a glance. Ace is wearing a three-piece black suit with a shirt, vest, and jacket, and is showing off the visuals of a gentlemanly man by utilizing unique props such as leather gloves, a club, and a cane.

In particular, the unique composition of a phone, incense, and alcohol on top of a mirror is eye-catching. In another cut, the five members of Ace are standing in a circle with each turning their backs, stimulating various imaginations. Ace‘s uniqueness in radiating sexy charisma in an original way stands out.

Ace is foreshadowing a high-quality comeback by fully revealing various contents of ‘PINATA’. In the ‘PINATA’ trailer ‘Intro: Recuerda, recuerda’, Ace showed off an extremely difficult mega performance with 49 dancers in sacred visuals in white suits. Since then, they have been showing off their eight-color concept digestion skills with individual member concept videos and this concept photo.

Ace’s third single ‘PINATA’ will be released on the 20th at 6 PM through various online music sites.
