Big Ocean, the world's first sign language idol, has revealed why it used Admiral Yi Sun-shin's Battle of Myeongnyang as a motif.

Big Ocean (Chan-yeon PJ Ji-seok) held a comeback showcase at Shocking K-pop in Mapo-gu, Seoul at 5 p.m. on the 3rd. Big Ocean will release its third mini-album "THE GREATEST BATTLE" at 6 p.m. on major music sites.

On the day, the Big Ocean said, "The Battle of Myeongnyang is one of the three major naval battles of the Joseon Dynasty, and it is a great battle that defeated more than 100 ships with only 12 ships. It touched me very much that I won a battle that seemed like a long shot," he said, adding, "The fandom name is a wave." Thanks to the waves, we are on our way to victory. That's why the keyword "Roaring Currents" touched me more."

"In terms of performance, the Battle of Myeongnyang reminded me of the Battle of Myeongnyang, and I wanted to show the frustration of the battle with many opponents by deploying a number of dancers who stand in formation of Hakikjin or express the enemy," he said. "There are three members, but 20 dancers play the role of enemy forces."

"THE GREATEST BATTLE" is an album with the theme of "Miraculously Winning Battle". "One Man Army," which declared "Alive" through the first track "Alive," chose to fight alone, "Back," which grinds its teeth from the defeated past, and "Cold Moon," which completes internal growth through restrained emotions, unfolds like an epic play, capturing the narrative of the big ocean in three dimensions. Through this album, Big Ocean tried to transform itself from its existing bright and hopeful image to a more intense and restrained atmosphere. The heavy charisma and sharp eyes revealed through various teasing contents, such as concept photos and music video teasers, visually embodied the keyword of the album "Battle," signaling the start of a new chapter.

"THE GREATEST BATTLE" contains a total of eight songs, including the double title songs "One Man Army" and "Cold Moon," as well as "Alive," "Back," "One Man Army," "Back," and "Cold Moon."

The double title song "One Man Army" is a motif of Admiral Yi Sun-shin's Battle of Myeongnyang and depicts his will to create victory in desperate situations. The song added meaning by all the members of the Big Ocean participating in the composition, and the combination of grand strings, heavy 808 bases, and traditional military instrument sounds maximized the tension of the battle.
