THE NAME CHAPTER: TEMPTATION
JANUARY 27 2023 | 5TH MINI ALBUM | TITLE TRACK: SUGAR RUSH RIDE
Inspired by the story of Peter Pan, ‘The Name Chapter: Temptation’ explores the allure of Neverland—a fantastical place where one never has to grow up. Following the chaos and conflicts of the previous chapters, the boys, now on the brink of adulthood, face the temptation of remaining in a perpetual state of youthful freedom as they grapple with the internal conflict between postponing their growth by staying in Neverland and embracing adulthood. The album's tracks, when listened to in order, portray their struggle to navigate personal growth amidst external pressures, distractions, and temptations, highlighting the universal challenge of choosing between complacency and progression in the journey of self-discovery. Their decision to journey forward despite this desire is a representation of today’s generation as they continue to grow through the challenges of the world. We encourage you to read Weverse Magazine's First+View article for a further breakdown and explanation of this album.
