"I want to be an artist who is good at everything."

Group AtHeart is back with a stronger confidence.

Athart (Mitch, Arin, Caitlin, Bohm, Seohyun, Nahyun) demonstrated a wide musical spectrum by simultaneously singing "Shut Up," which is intense and popping, and "Butterfly Doors," which features mature vocals. Those who tried to make an unconventional concept change that even the members were surprised by each other's new appearance went beyond simple comebacks and went on a journey to find their own colors.

Athart made her debut with her debut EP "Plot Twist" in August last year. Since then, it has launched its first comeback in seven months by releasing "Shut Up" on the 26th of last month and "Butterfly Doors" on the 11th.

Arin said, "I'm excited and meaningful because it's my first comeback. We prepared hard to show you how much we have grown, and I hope the results will be well revealed on stage," he said. Na-hyun also said, "I'm happy and excited to finally make a long-awaited comeback," adding, "I wanted to meet the fans quickly, but I'm happy to say hello like this." I will repay you with better music and performance," he said.

Through this activity, AtHeart further solidified the color of HeartTeen. "Shut Up" showed honest and confident charm, and "Butterfly Doors" showed musical expansion by adding deeper emotional lines and delicate expression.

The growth of the members was the basis of this change. Arin said, "The speed of learning the dance has increased, and the time to work with the members has also decreased. As such, I feel that the completeness of the results has increased and my personal capabilities have grown," he said. He added, "I paid a lot of attention to the overall areas such as vocals and dance, and I focused on digesting them with our own colors, especially as the performance difficulty went up."

Bom said she wanted to show a different charm at the same time because she released two songs in a row. He said, "The two songs have different charms that are difficult to contain at once. "Shut Up" is a song with intense and bouncy girl-like energy. It has expanded its musical spectrum by showing a more mature appearance than its previous work. "Butterfly Doors" is a song that was able to show a new aspect through performance and vocals.

He said, "I wanted to show a different side to my debut album. I said, "I want to be an artist who is good at everything," but it was meaningful to show various aspects through the new songs.

Amid the concept change, the members also discovered each other's new charms. Bom said, "Mitch is really good at making chic and chic expressions than I thought. I usually thought bright energy looked good on me because I was positive, but I thought I could do a calm and chic concept very well," he said.

Mitch said, "The expressive power of Na-hyun and Spring was impressive," and added, "Na-hyun thought about how to express it in the last part of the first verse of 'Shut Up', and I think the part I made together while studying came out well on stage, and it was amazing that it was not easy to transform the image of Spring, but it was natural."

Seohyun also said, "Everyone has changed a lot compared to their debut. The more I see them, the more attractive they are, so if I were a fan, I wouldn't be able to escape the charm."

There were also comments about Aura, a member of the group who temporarily suspended her activities. "Auro is currently taking a break, but she is constantly communicating with the members," Bom said. "I've been saying that I'm enjoying this comeback activity."

When asked about role models, he expressed respect for senior artists. Seo-hyun said, "I want to be an artist who is loved for a long time like Girls' Generation and Black Pink," and Arin said, "I was stimulated a lot by Black Pink Jenny's firm direction and appearance on stage."

Caitlin said, "I want to learn how to express myself gracefully and naturally like Sophia the Cats Eye," and Na Hyun said, "I want to imitate Jang Won-young's mind and effort in the IVE."

The future goal was also clear. Na-hyun said, "My goal is to be on the end of the year stage. Furthermore, I want to be on a big stage such as Lollapalooza, Coachella, and Tokyo Dome."

Arin said, "I want to hold Athart's own solo concert and dream of performing at a stadium or arena," and Mitch said, "It would be meaningful to perform in their respective hometowns."

Finally, Na Hyun said, "I want to play more music more often this year." Bom also said, "I really want to win first place on a music show. With this comeback, we will achieve solid growth and move toward a higher place," he said. Arin also expressed her ambition, saying, "I want to promote At Heart to the wider public."
