The group The Wind joins hands with Block B's Park Kyung to truly enjoy themselves.

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

The Wind returns after one year and two months since releasing the digital single 'Hello Tomorrow' last May. After a long hiatus, they are back with five members, as member Kim Hee-su is absent. Kim Hee-su had suspended activities last May due to anxiety symptoms.

At that time, the agency stated, "Recently, he has been receiving consistent treatment at a medical institution for anxiety symptoms. Based on the medical team's opinion, we have judged that sufficient rest and recovery are necessary for the time being, so he will temporarily suspend activities."

Park Ha-yu-chan said, "While practicing, I tried to maintain balance so that Hee-su hyung's absence would not be felt. I approached it with the mindset of doing my best."

Ahn Chan-won stated, "We had a video call, and he seemed healthy, which relieved me. We are cheering for him to be able to join us in good health."

With leader Kim Hee-su stepping down, Park Ha-yu-chan was elected as the new leader through voting. He said, "I am not the oldest member, and I felt burdened by the thought of 'Can I fill Hee-su hyung's void?' 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 Hyung Hee-su. As this is a new challenge, I want us all 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 even higher. It adds a freer and more confident atmosphere, completing a new identity called 'Refreshing Hip'.

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

Park Ha-yu-chan said, "It will be a leap starting in a new environment and concept," while Jang Hyun-jun added, "I think of it as a second chance. Since this good opportunity has come, I want to show our grown-up selves 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 cheerful band sounds with explosive energy, conveying The Wind's unique refreshing energy.

Park Ha-yu-chan emphasized, "I was worried about whether we could express this atmosphere well, but while practicing, I realized we could digest it in 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 got stuck in my head. 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 attracted attention as Block B's Park Kyung participated in writing lyrics, composing, and producing all tracks. Choi Han-bin said, "I was a huge fan, so it was unbelievable and happy to work on the song together. If Block B had a vibe like 'Ak-dong' enjoying themselves, The Wind has a slightly more refreshing yet Ak-dong-like feel."

Tanaton said, "It was an honor. I always thought he made good songs, so my expectations were high. On one hand, I was curious about how our color would be expressed. In the end, it seems he brought out our charm. He even created a new atmosphere, so I am grateful."

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

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

Jang Hang-jun conveyed his sincerity, stating, "We had a long hiatus, and thank you for waiting for over a year. We plan to show many new sides, and I hope fans like them very much. We will become a proud The Wind. I hope we can stay together for a long time in the future."

Tanaton also added, "As we prepared 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."
