Group The Wind is enjoying themselves fully with Block B's Park Kyung.

The Wind (Tanaton, Choi Han-bin, Park Ha-yu-chan, Ahn Chan-won, Jang Hyun-jun) held a showcase on the afternoon of the 29th at Ilji Art Hall in Seoul Gangnam-gu to celebrate the release of their fourth mini-album 'Second Wind: S#00'.

This comeback comes one year and two months after they released the digital single 'Hello Tomorrow' last May. Despite a long hiatus, the group is now active with five members, as member Kim Hee-soo is absent. Kim Hee-soo had suspended activities in May due to anxiety symptoms.

At that time, the agency stated, "Recently, he has been receiving consistent treatment at a medical institution due to anxiety symptoms. Based on the doctors' assessment, we have determined that he needs sufficient rest and recovery for the time being, so his activities will be temporarily suspended."

Park Ha-yu-chan said, "While practicing, we tried to maintain balance so that Hee-soo hyung's absence wouldn't be felt. We approached this with the mindset of doing our best."

Ahn Chan-won stated, "We had a video call, and it was reassuring to see him healthy. We are cheering for him so he can join us in good health."

With leader Kim Hee-soo stepping down, Park Ha-yu-chan was elected as the new leader through voting. He remarked, "I am not even the oldest member, and I felt burdened by the thought of 'Can I fill Hee-soo hyung's shoes?' However, since the members trusted and entrusted me with this role, I now feel a responsibility to lead well based on what I learned from him. As this is a new challenge, we all want to show our best sides."

'Second Wind: S#00' is an album that captures the strength that returns in moments of exhaustion and a new breath for leaping higher. It adds a freer and more confident atmosphere, completing a new identity called 'Refreshing Hip'.

This album includes a total of five tracks, featuring the title song 'Party Like A Rock Star', along with 'With the Wind', 'That's Smoove!', 'Shiver', and 'Back and Forth'.

Park Ha-yu-chan said, "We believe this will be a leap forward starting in a new environment and concept," while Jang Hyun-jun added, "I see this as a second chance. Since we have been given such a good opportunity, I want to show our growth and new charms."

The title track 'Party Like A Rock Star' is a Pop&Rock genre song that harmonizes a funky main guitar riff with an EDM-style lead synth. It combines upbeat band sounds with explosive energy, delivering The Wind's unique refreshing energy.

Park Ha-yu-chan emphasized, "I was worried about whether we could express this atmosphere well, but during practice, we managed to make it our own style. I became confident that we can enjoy ourselves on stage."

Next, Choi Han-bin expressed confidence, saying, "As soon as I heard the title track for the first time, it stuck in my head immediately. I felt this sensation strongly; it was so addictive that I kept singing along. I thought it would be really fun to perform on stage."

Especially, this album drew attention as Block B's Park Kyung participated in writing lyrics, composing all tracks, and producing them. Choi Han-bin said, "I was a huge fan, so it was unbelievable and happy to work on songs together. If Block B had a vibe like 'mischievous kids enjoying themselves,' The Wind has a slightly more refreshing yet mischievous feel."

Tanaton remarked, "It was an honor. I always thought he creates great songs, so my expectations were high. On the other hand, I was curious about how our color would be expressed. In the end, it seems he highlighted our charms. He even created a new atmosphere, so I am grateful."

Park Ha-yu-chan shared, "Energy was crucial for this album. Even during recording, he directed us to show energy confidently. We were able to immerse ourselves in it, and it seems we achieved good results."

The Wind also revealed their goals for this promotion. Choi Han-bin expressed his wish, "I want to win number one on music shows. It might be a bit abstract, but I hope we leave a mark in the hearts of the public."

Jang Hyun-jun conveyed his sincerity, saying, "We had a long hiatus, and it has been over a year since then. Thank you for waiting for us. We plan to show many new sides, and we hope fans will like them a lot. We will become a proud The Wind. We hope to stay together with you for a very long time."

Tanaton also added, "As we worked hard during the long hiatus, we want to return that love to our fans. We will do our best to become a proud The Wind that can continue activities for a very long time."
