Boy group WHIB raised expectations by achieving "career high" with its first mini album.
Hwib (Kim Jun-min, Ha-seung, Jin-beom, Yoo Gun, Lee Jung, Jae-ha, Won-jun) released their first mini-album "ROCK THE NATION" on the 29th of last month and appeared on Mnet's "M Countdown," KBS 2TV's "Music Bank," and SBS's "Inkigayo" and made a comeback with the album's title song "ROCK THE NATION."
In music broadcasts, Whib showed confidence that was upgraded to a high level of performance. "We rock the nation"The members, who caught the eyes and ears from the beginning with the declaration with confidence, gave a thrilling pleasure with group dances and rapping along the galloping beat.
Whib dominated the stage with thrilling developments, ranging from fist-to-palm-to-mask gestures to unmask gestures and choreography to raising one hand or raising one's gaze in unison. It also proved team synergy that became stronger with expressions that intersected with relaxed vibes and intense energy.
In addition, Whib achieved "career high" by occupying domestic and international music charts. The mini-first album "ROCK THE NATION" topped the daily album chart and music chart of the Hanteo Chart as of January 29 and 31, and achieved the feat of surpassing its own record sales on the third day of its release. It also proved its global firepower by settling on iTunes' top album charts in four regions: Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, and Hong Kong.
"ROCK THE NATION" is the first full album released by Whib after reorganizing into a group of seven, and contains a total of five songs that penetrate the narrative of the team racing higher. Members Ha Seung, Kim Jun-min, and Lee Jung directly participated in the songwriting and composition, capturing the team's firm musical direction and identity.
The title song "ROCK THE NATION" is not bound by the genre, but is a song that releases grand sound and explosive performance in Whib's own way. Not only the sound source and stage, but also the music video of "ROCK THE NATION" and the dance challenge are receiving enthusiastic responses from global fans.
Whib, who successfully completed his first week of comeback with good results, will continue his active "ROCK THE NATION" activities by appearing in various music broadcasts and contents this week.
