Boy band Xdinary Heroes (Xdinary Heroes, Xdinary Heroes) showcased a unique bromance with Wonpil of DAY6, who shares the same agency, JYP Entertainment.

E'XDI (Geonil, Jeongsu, Gaon, Aud, Junhan, Juyeon) recently held a roundtable interview to commemorate the release of their eighth mini-album 'DEAD AND' at a cafe in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul.

'Dead End' is a new album carrying the message that 'everything has an end, and that end is a new possibility we will create,' and as always, all members are credited on every track to enhance its quality. The keyword permeating the entire album is 'voyage.' Exids suggest not a period but another beginning and possibility, highlighting those who, even when colliding, shaken, and falling, rise again on their own, as 'heroes.'

The title track "Voyager" is a declaration of youth that believes even if it burns brightly and then fades away, it will shine again. It draws a parallel to "Voyager 1," which continues its journey by leaving Earth and sailing onward, symbolizing the firm resolve to persist in the journey even after reaching a point of no return.

On this day, when asked what feedback he received from the producer of "Dead End" after completing the work, he said, "Since the album has not yet been released, I have not been able to ask for feedback. There is a Messenger group chat where Park Jin-young PD and I are together during the album-making process, and he often sends content that could be helpful. Once, he showed me a video of an artist he likes and respects, saying, 'Jun-han, this is a guitarist I like. It might be good to refer to it.' Even though he is a very busy senior, he made time to give musical advice, and I felt Ha Neun (Auditor) that he is receiving a lot of love."

DAY6, who share the same roof as JYP, have also consistently expressed boundless affection toward EXDI. Recently, Wonpil, in a comeback interview, highly praised EXDI's musicality and band capabilities.

In this regard, Oh said, "I read Wonpil's interview article. I felt good. Recently, the DAY6 members came to my concert, and at that time, Wonpil told me, 'Only you guys can produce this kind of sound in Korea. You are doing well. I support you.' I am so grateful then and now. As he said such kind words, we will fight harder and hope to become a band as big as DAY6."

Joo Yeon responded with a score of 90 when asked about the satisfaction level of "Dead End." He stated, "Personally, I consider it a proud album with a high score ranging from 85 to 90 points. I believe that the music we are creating is gradually expanding in terms of genre, and the individual colors of each member are becoming increasingly solid. Now, there is a growing expectation that we will release albums scoring around 85 to 90 points. I feel that giving a perfect score of 100 would leave little motivation for further development, so we are constantly striving to improve while leaving a small margin of expectation."

E'XDI's eighth mini-album 'Dead End' will be released at 1 p.m. on the 17th via various online music platforms.
