Vocal unit Super Junior K.R.Y. will release their first physical album in Korea.
Super Junior-K.R.Y. will release their first mini-album "When We Were Us" at 6 p.m. KST on various music sites on June 8.
The music video and the title track "When we were us", will also open simultaneously on YouTube and Naver TV SMTOWN channels at the same time.
Here are questions and answers about Super Junior-K.R.Y's first mini album and activities.
1. How do you feel about releasing your first physical album in 15 years?
YESUNG: As much as the people who waited, I'm so happy and grateful for the album I've been waiting for.
RYEOWOOK: Like many fans, I've been waiting for K.R.Y's album for a long time, so this album has a bigger meaning. So I want to be loved by many people.
KYUHYUN: As fans have been looking forward to it for a long time, I'm glad it's going to be a great gift.
2. What kind of song is the title track 'When We Were Us'? What should I listen to?
RYEOWOOK: The melody is really good. There are parts that I think would fit well with the drama OST.
KYUHYUN: Any memory, whether pleasant or sad, seems to remain beautiful over time. If you look back on your memories, you'll be able to feel the mood of the song better.
3. Besides the title track, what is your favorite track in this album?
YESUNG: 'I Can't' and 'The Way Back to You' are attached. Especially, 'The Way Back to You' is a bright medium tempo song, so you can feel the unique charm of K.R.Y.
RYEOWOOK: "I Can't." All the tracks on the album are good, but I enjoyed the whole process because Brown Eyed Soul Young-joon directed it himself. I finished recording quickly because you complimented me a lot, but the results are great.
KYUHYUN: Home, which was first introduced at Beyond the SUPER SHOW. It's a song with three harmonies and a rich string sound that highlights K.R.Y.'s harmony.
4. Super Junior's signature color is 'Purple Sapphire Blue'. How would you describe the color of Super Junior-K.R.Y.? And why?
YESUNG: Orange. I think RyeoWook's voice color is pink. It's a brown color that resembles autumn, and I think it's a white winter-like voice. If you mix RyeoWook's pink, KyuHyun's brown, and my white, I think it'll be orange.
RYEOWOOK: Blue. Even if it's a unit, the color doesn't change. It's fun when we're with the three of us. And E.L.F. always love K.R.Y. as well.
5. Any memorable episodes while working on the album (recording, jacket shooting, music video shooting, etc.)?
YESUNG: Actually, I composed more than two songs for this album, but I couldn't include both. But when I listened to the tracks in the album, I loved each and every song. I was so sad that I couldn't include my songs.
RYEOWOOK: I carry around a camera and record the whole album. Kyuhyun nags me to stop taking pictures, but Yesung's active help is the difference. The two of us have a clear concept, so I'm having fun editing the video.
6. Do you have any ideas or suggestions for the album?
YESUNG: I usually present a lot of ideas on the visual side. I think K.R.Y's album reflects my opinion on the jacket image and outfit concept.
RYEOWOOK: All the songs in the album were so good that it was difficult to decide the title song. But I really liked the title track "When we were us," and I think my opinions have been gathered to some extent.
7. How did Super Junior members cheer for K.R.Y. for their new album?
RYEOWOOK: The members said the song was so good! Everyone was honest, so if you don't like it, you can tell on your face, but they really cheered for me.
8. What K.R.Y. wants to show through this album? (Target?)
YESUNG: I hope many of you who have been waiting will be happy through K.R.Y.'s album. If there's one more thing, I'd appreciate it if more people like our songs after listening to this album.
RYEOWOOK: Rather than a grand goal, I want to return your favor by showing you the best of me as you've waited for a long time.
KYUHYUN: I would like to present a memorable 'summer song' to many people.
9. K.R.Y.'s new album, plans for future activities
RYEOWOOK: I'd like to greet you on as many stages as possible and on many entertainment programs. I look forward to everything the three of us do!
KYUHYUN: First, we're going to perform our new song on various music shows. We are preparing various contents and internet broadcasting so that more people can watch it.
10. A word to fans at home and abroad who have been waiting for K.R.Y.'s album for a long time.
YESUNG: Thanks to everyone who's been waiting for this album, we were able to release this album. Thank you very much.
RYEOWOOK: We were in our teens and 20s, but we're already in our mid-30s and we're back with K.R.Y.'s first album. With deeper emotions and music, we'll work harder as much as you've waited for us.
KYUHYUN: Just like the title of the album, "When we were us," I hope it will be a good memory for us and our fans.
