Band Touch'd (TOUCHED) has released the mood film for their debut full-length album, 'Gyeokya'. While Touch'd has built its identity around powerful sound and explosive live performances, this time it has chosen to present imagery and narrative before the music itself.

On the 21st, Touch'd unveiled the mood film for 'Gyeokya' via its official SNS. The album will be released at 12 p.m. on October 15 through major online music platforms.

The video flows with scenes that feel like a movie and narration. Rather than the dynamic performances familiar from Touch'd's previous content, it slowly reveals the emotions contained in the album through static visuals and narrative-driven direction.

What stands out in this mood film is the decision to prioritize 'what world to show' over 'what to convey.' Stepping back from their established approach of foregrounding music and performance, Touch'd begins its story with visuals and narration, suggesting that 'Gyeokya' is not merely a collection of songs but a work with its own flow and atmosphere.

The album art released earlier on the 18th also extends this shift. After presenting new visuals that were difficult to anticipate from Touch'd's previous image, the mood film expands those visuals into a narrative. Since the specific musical content remains unreleased, these two pieces of content serve as devices that invite imagination about what story 'Gyeokya' might hold.

The meaning embedded in the album title is also reflected in the timing of the teasing content. Touch'd has been releasing its main teaser content at midnight (00:00). Drawing inspiration from 'Gyeokya,' the phenomenon of nights without sunrise, the band has set midnight as a symbolic time. By linking not only the album's title but also the method of content release, Touch'd is gradually building the world of 'Gyeokya.'

'Gyeokya' marks a new starting point for Touch'd as well. As their first full-length album since debut and a work completed with production support from CJ Culture Foundation's 'Tune Up,' it stands out that Touch'd has expanded a single album into a more three-dimensional form by adding visual narratives such as album art and mood films to its music-centered journey so far.

The teasing campaign for 'Gyeokya,' which began with the album art and continued with the mood film, has just turned its first page. Although the music remains unreleased, the few images and scenes Touch'd has already presented provide ample clues that this full-length album will unfold their story in a way different from before.
