The idol group AND2BLE (Jang Hao, Yoo Seung-eon, Ricky, Kim Gyu-bin, Han Yu-jin) announced their second-half comeback with a more mature charm.

AND2BLE held a comeback showcase on the 27th at the Our WON Banking Hall in Bluesquare, Hannam-dong, Seoul. The group releases their second mini-album "Sequence 02: Attraction" through major music streaming sites at 6 p.m. on the same day.

The title track of the album, "French Kissing," is a tropical R&B track that most intensely captures the moment of "attraction." It expresses the instant when gazes linger, scents mingle, and the boundaries between two people disappear. By likening the intense attraction that makes all senses seem to pause to heaven, it depicts a sacred yet dizzying emotion. A hypnotic groove and reggae bass line blend into a soundscape over which an enchanting vocal is layered, providing a deep sense of immersion. The world-renowned production team LDN Noise, which has produced numerous K-pop hit songs, handled the composition and arrangement, enhancing the track's completeness.

In addition to the title track, "Sequence 02: Attraction" includes five tracks in total that showcase AND2BLE's wide genre spectrum. These include "Haunted," which captures the moment when curiosity turns into conviction and one opens their eyes to new sensations; "Potion," which contains the fluttering of love at first sight and gradually growing heat; "Beautiful," which embodies the beauty discovered only when viewed with interest; and "Worth It," which depicts the moment when feelings built up bit by bit are completed as a single conviction. Ricky is credited for writing lyrics on the track "Worth It," proving the team's musical evolution.

"Sequence 02: Attraction" is AND2BLE's new release, coming about five months after their first mini-album "Sequence 01: Curiosity" released in May. The album unfolds the emotional shift from curiosity to interest and then to attraction, which began with the previous work, through a refined sensibility. AND2BLE is expected to showcase a deeper charm by looking a little closer at the subjects that naturally catch their gaze and sensitively depicting the new emotions discovered within them.

AND2BLE immediately secured top spots on various domestic and international charts upon debut, cementing their presence as a "complete group" equipped with both fandom and mass appeal. Additionally, they successfully held the show concert "2026 AND2BLE SHOW CONCERT : Welcome to Qurious" in four Asian cities and have lifted a total of 12 trophies at major domestic and international award ceremonies.

On this day, AND2BLE said, "We want to quickly show how much AND2BLE has grown since our debut album." They added, "There were moments that were both exciting and tense during the debut album, but for the second mini-album, we want to let go of the tension and spend a fun time together with fans."

They continued, "When I first heard the title track, I liked the dreamy melody, and the more I listened, the richer the instrument sounds became. It was different from what we had shown before, and I thought it suited AND2BLE well." They added, "The 'Ullala' part stood out to me. The unique sound of London Noise in the intro made me think, 'I can guarantee this one.'"

AND2BLE expressed confidence, saying, "Through this activity, we believe the public and fans will be able to shift from interest to attraction by seeing our unique chemistry, vocals, and performance." They also said, "We created an atmosphere that brings out our own feel with songs different from the previous work. I hope you can well feel each member's charm. Also, it seems like we didn't show much of our unique visuals at debut, so we prepared a lot for this."

AND2BLE said, "If this activity makes 2026 the year of AND2BLE, that would be wonderful. We also want to win an award related to performance." They added, "We want to enjoy our activities more and are preparing many year-end stages. We want to happily enjoy time with fans and earn the epithet of a 'growth-type group.' We want to repay the interest shown to us with even more, earning reactions like 'AND2BLE is indeed the best.'"

Along with this, AND2BLE said, "Rather than feeling burdened by the high initial sales volume achieved through our debut activity, we want to have gratitude for (the fans' love) and repay it with an even better stage." They added, "Comeback stages always fill us with excitement and nervousness. We were moved and happy by the great love at our debut. We want to repay that and will work hard with the mindset of growing more than yesterday."
