[Event Report] ”MYNAME” is ”happy” to release their first mini album in seven years, ”VIVID”... Expressing gratitude for the past 13 years and looking forward to new challenges!

Boy group "MYNAME" will hold a release event for their first work in seven years, the mini album "VIVID" commemorating their 13th anniversary since their Japanese debut, on Tuesday, July 2nd.
The event was held at Tower Records Shibuya on the 13th. Konu, Insu, and Seyong appeared on stage and shared a special time with the many fans who had been waiting for this day.
They performed "BAD HIGHER" and "KOMonster". "I'm Konu, the leader of MYNAME!", "I'm Seyong, the youngest member ...
"It's been seven years since we've had a release event like this!" and "MYgirls (the fan name for MYNAME), who I haven't seen in a while, came too.
"Shine," the three said, gazing at the audience with joy. When Insoo asked, "What did you think of the title song, 'BAD BAD HIGHER'?", a huge applause erupted from the audience.
During the talk, the group had a rhythmic exchange that was typical of MYNAME, and they got the crowd excited. They also performed "We Are the One" which Konu was involved in producing during the rehearsal.
Seyeon revealed that she cried while singing the song "(with MYNAME)". Seyeon said, "Konu's song made me emotional because the Japanese lyrics touched my heart so easily and made me cry."
Next, the stage moved on to "Forever You". Before performing "For You", there was a lecture on how to cheer, and it seemed like it was the first song led by the members.
The entire audience was singing along in unison. Insoo revealed that this mini album is "6 songs that I carefully selected from 200 songs," and that he plans to produce a full album in the future.
She also expressed her enthusiasm. Seyeon also told Hot Topic that she is currently creating the choreography. "It's the first time we've done it together as a trio, so I want to show them something great. It's almost finished, so please look forward to it."
Seyon said with a confident smile. After the stage, a press conference was held. Q. It's been a while since your last release. Please tell us your thoughts one by one.
Konu: It's been a while since we last performed at Tower Records Shibuya, so I couldn't sleep last night and I was really nervous. I'm glad we were able to finish the first part without any problems. I'm glad I got to see you all.
Seyeon: It's our first album in seven years, so I was worried whether everyone would come, but more people than I expected came...I'm really grateful to MYgirl.
I think so! I'm looking forward to your future activities! Ins: It was a moment I was looking forward to. I had a wonderful time on stage. I hope we can have a wonderful time at the release event that follows.
Q. What thoughts did you put into this mini album? Konu: Since the theme is "VIVID," I wanted to show something vivid, clear, and intense.
I think everyone has high expectations for our new album. The members are also very motivated. This album is the album we have prepared as adults.
This is Bam. Q. What are the highlights? Seyon: There are a lot of songs that you can sing together with MYgirl! There is also a dance!
Insoo: We've been doing concerts and fan meetings for seven years without a new song, so we've actually been waiting for a new song for a long time.
I'm looking forward to performing my new song at "MYNAME LIVE 2025 -VIVID-" on July 25th.
Q. What are you looking forward to about your activities in Japan this summer?
Konu: It's been a while since our last release event, so we were outdoors together, and we were sweating and feeling refreshed (at this point, Seyong and Insoo asked, "Refreshed?!
" (interjects)...I'm looking forward to it! Seyong: I'm looking forward to doing it outside! I want to blow away the heat with the passion of MYgirl and us! I want to keep on improving!
Ins: I'm also looking forward to going to Osaka and Nagoya for the first time in a while. I want to eat delicious food with the members and improve myself!
Q. Please give a message to your fans.
Konu: Tomorrow (2nd), we, MYNAME, will release our mini album "VIVID". It's been a long time since we've released it.

I want you to give me a present called a "mini album". I want to have fun with you! Seyong: It's 100% my intention to say "I'm happy" here.
I'm happy. I've released an album for the first time in seven years, so I'll do my best to make more time to meet with you all in the future. I look forward to your continued support!
