Cha Dong-hyop, a unit of the group DRIPPIN, has announced an ambitious goal.

Cha Dong-hyop (Cha Jun-ho, Kim Dong-yoon, Lee Hyeop) recently held an interview to commemorate the release of their first single, "Thumping," at a café in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

On that day, Lee Hyeop expressed, "We hope many people will use our songs on social media. It would be wonderful if our music could naturally play out when people walk around streets or shopping malls."

He continued, "We hope many people will get to know us and look forward to our albums and activities. Of course, we want to achieve good results, but the most important thing is to carry out activities without getting hurt. We hope to create many good memories with the fans who have waited for us for so long."

They also mentioned the new charms they discovered in each other while preparing for unit activities. Kim Dong-yoon said about Cha Jun-ho, "It seems his ability to express points has really improved since he started acting. There was a scene where he portrayed a nerdy concept, and while watching the monitor, I felt he looked really handsome. I had seen him a lot during DRIPPIN activities, but he felt much more grown-up than before, which was impressive."

Lee Hyeop also stated that he felt the changes in the members. He said, "It seems all three of us have grown internally a lot while doing individual activities last year. We have become much more mature in our attitude toward taking on work and in the process of preparing for activities. Additionally, we seem to have developed in terms of how to express ourselves better and look more stylish. It was really good. While preparing, I thought, 'If we perform like this, we might become a huge hit,' and he laughed."

Cha Jun-ho highly praised the members' passion. He said, "As the number of members decreased, there were physically more challenging parts. Nevertheless, seeing them work so hard and with such determination made me feel their will and sense of responsibility again."

They also discussed concepts they would like to challenge in the future. Lee Hyeop said, "This time, it had a refreshing and soft, cotton candy-like feel. Next time, I want to show a more mature kind of excitement that targets people's hearts. I also want to try a concept like a mature Cupid."

Cha Jun-ho said, "This album feels like it fits well with the season. Next time, I want to challenge songs or choreography that evoke the feelings of autumn and winter, or music with a greater vocal focus. I hope to hear people say, 'When you think of seasonal songs, Cha Dong-hyop comes to mind.'"
