Boy group AMPERS&ONE has returned to the music industry with an unconventional oriental concept that adds traditional Korean beauty after a long hiatus.

On the 8th, AmpersandOne (Na Camden, Brian, Choi Ji-ho, Yoon Si-yoon, Kyrell, Makaya, and Kim Seung-mo) held a showcase to commemorate the release of their fourth mini-album "DEFINITION" at the Nordle Island Live House in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

Brian said on the day, "It was an album I've been really looking forward to since I was preparing for this comeback. I'd appreciate it if you could pay attention to everything in detail and look at it pretty," Makaya said, "I think 'Definition' is an album where you can feel the growth of AmpersandOne. We prepared it with the intention of showing better songs and performances for the fans, so I hope you enjoy it," he said.

Kim Seung-mo then said, "I think it's a new beginning for AmpersandOne because it's a new concept and the album content is newly defined," and Choi Ji-ho expressed expectations, saying, "We've become cool and we can't wait to show our fans the stage."

"Definition" is more of a scene about Ampersand One looking back on the group's present and defining the direction to move forward. Like the album name, which means "justice," it implies that they set their own identity and direction and set the standard for moving forward.

The title song "GOD" is a track that symbolizes "GOD," which means God, and "GOD," a traditional culture representing Korea, and attempts to get back up, praying for them to protect themselves. Na Camden and Makaya melted the group's identity by participating in the lyrics of not only God but also Definition.

AmpersandOne's comeback is about eight months after its third mini album released in August last year. Kim Seung-mo said, "I prepared the title song 'GOD' by investing a lot of time and really long. "I practiced more with the members because I wanted to prove that our efforts were not in vain and show the results as soon as possible," he said.

Choi Ji-ho then said, "During this break for the first time since our debut, we went on a trip with the members and talked about how we want to do it in the future. As the time is the time, I wanted to show more of us. "We prepared for this comeback with a determined mind that we want to decorate this year with a year that promotes us more," he said.

In particular, Choi Ji-ho tried to lose weight. He said, "I ran steadily, but this costume showed my belly, so I ran harder. "I wanted to show you a new side of my hairstyle by actively giving opinions," he said.

AmpersandOne revealed the secret to growing tall even in his 20s. The members said they seem taller than when they were active. Kim Seung-mo said, "I think our team was tall. As I listen to the song "GOD," I think to myself, "If it's good for your ears, you'll grow physically taller." In the choreography, there is a movement where you extend your hand to the end, turn your arms wide, and jump Looking at it, I felt like my arms got longer when I finished without realizing it. I think there will be an impact from Korean dance," he said.

Then Na Camden said, "Rather than being tall, I considered it as an outfit that could show our height. Not only this outfit, but also other outfits can show you a lot of our physicality. Please look at the other outfits. Today's outfit is just the beginning. There are many outfits that look longer," he said.

AmpersandOne consists of three Koreans, two Americans, one Canadian, and one Australian. Therefore, it may have been difficult to understand the cultural background when I first heard "God" with an oriental concept.

In this regard, Makaya replied, "In fact, there are four foreign members, so the Korean style may feel awkward, but as we received this song, we practiced Korean dance little by little and practiced to melt the choreography while watching Korean movies and historical dramas together."

Makaya also said, "When I heard it for the first time, I felt 'fresh' and 'I really want to try it'," adding, "I prepared hard so that anyone could see that I was good." Kyrell also said, "I felt it was amazing. The beat was so good that I really wanted to perform with this song," he confessed.

Finally, when asked what Ampersand One's competitiveness was during the comeback battle in April, when comeback competition was fierce, Na Camden said, "I am gaining a lot of confidence on each stage. In order to create a high-quality stage, the work was completed by modifying many things. I kept revising it countless times," he said with confidence.

Makaya said, "I hope you remember that moment long enough to watch the concert and say, 'I want to renew this moment,'" Na Camden said, "The number" and Kim Seung-mo said, "It's been two years since I debuted because I prepared this album with the mindset of starting again, but how about trying to win the Rookie of the Year award again?"

AmpersandOne's fourth mini-album, Definition, will be released on various online music sites at 6 p.m. on the 8th.
