Group CLOZE YOUR EYES (CLOZE YOUR EYES, CLOSE YOUR EYES) has announced its goals for this year and its future direction.

CLOZE YOUR EYES (Jeon Min-wook, Mazing Xiang, Jang Yeo-jun, Kim Sung-min, Song Seung-ho, Kenshin, Seo Kyung-bae) recently conducted an interview at the StarNews headquarters in Seorin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, ahead of the release of their digital single "OVEREXPOSED."

On this day, Jeon Min-wook said regarding the goals for this activity, "Our goal this year is to receive greater awards and more love," adding, "Since the song blends Latin genres, we want to be loved by overseas fans as well."

CLOZE YOUR EYES, which officially debuted in April last year, immediately made their presence felt. Their debut album "ETERNALT" surpassed 310,000 copies in first-week sales, securing the fifth spot on the list of best-selling debut albums by boy groups in history.

Furthermore, with the title track "All Poems and Novels Within Me," they achieved an unprecedented feat by topping music shows in just six days. Amidst such a steep growth trajectory, the members are setting goals to leap to the next level.

Jang Yeo-jun stated, "Through our first solo concert recently, I felt and learned a great deal," adding, "After the performance, while talking with the members, we set a goal to fill larger venues and become a team that can clearly show who we are."

Jeon Min-wook also expressed expectations for global activities. He said, "Since the song features Brazilian funk, we want to be recognized in Brazil as well," and added, "We have mostly performed lyrical music so far, and we want to show that we can handle this genre well too."

Additionally, Kenshin said, "As I am Japanese, I want to perform on the stage of Japan's representative year-end music show, 'Kōhaku Uta Gassen,'" and declared his resolve, "Since this is a stage where many K-pop seniors have performed, we are making it a goal for this year and will work hard."

The conversation continued with reflections on reaching their first anniversary of debut on the 2nd. Kim Sung-min said, "Over the past year, we released three albums and appeared on various award shows and stages, becoming like family with the members," adding, "The time we spend together has become more enjoyable, and as the number of supporters has increased, our desire to show better stages and songs has grown stronger."

Kenshin shared, "Happy times seem to pass very quickly," and added, "We have created many memories with our fans, and we want to create more happiness so that these times will be remembered for a long time rather than being regretful."

Mazing Xiang also emphasized, "It is hard to believe that it has already been one year; time has flown by so fast," and stated, "We will strive to show even more wonderful performances in our upcoming comebacks and stages, and work hard to extend the happiness that fans feel for a longer period."
