On September 19, 2023, seven- member boy group EVNNE has made their highly anticipated debut with the mini album, “TARGET: ME”, and title song, “Trouble.” Their debut comes just five months after the completion of the survival show, “Boys Planet”, in which all the members competed. Despite having just debuted, the group has already amassed a significant number of fans who have supported the members since their trainee days.
EVNNE, which stands for “Evening’s Newest Etoiles” consists of Keita, Park Hanbin, Lee Jeonghyeon. Yoo Seungheon, Ji Yunseo, Mun Junghyun, and Park Jihoo. Despite them having freshly debuted, each member has experience in recording, stage presence, facial expressions, and fan engagement due to the MNET reality show “Boys Planet.” “Boys Planet” ran from February through April 2023, and showed various trainees fighting for a chance to debut in a boy group. Despite challenges on the show, these boys persevered and were able to debut months after the show ended.
Their six-track mini album, “TARGET: ME”, contains high energy genres such as West Coast hip-hop, while also slowing it down with groovy RNB songs. The album walks us through a story of the members shaking up the world with their debut and how they wish to become the listeners “target.” The title track “Trouble”, is more on the hip-hop and pop spectrum, and includes strong raps as it intends to showcase exactly who EVNNE is. The song begins with leader Keita saying, “Yo. It’s crazy, right? Ain’t nobody wanna come with a new thing,” showing that the group is doing it like no one else. The second song on the album, “Role Model”, transitions into a more chill and old school R&B vibe that is the members stating that they are the new generation and that if you trust them, they can become your role model. “Pretty Thing” transitions into another hip-hop and synth based song that is more about love and how pretty someone is that it makes the members fall for them.
Sticking with the love themes, “Your Text” is a groovy R&B song that brings the members through the emotions of them liking someone and not receiving a text back. “Jukebox”, written with help from members Ji Yunseo and Lee Jeonhyeon, sends an encouraging message about enjoying the moment and just dancing. The final song on the album, “Even More”, once again includes participation from the group. Members Keita and Ji Yunseo participated in writing for this medium-tempo-synth pop song which is the group’s very first fan song that describes the members being a place of comfort for their fans, “ENNVE”.
EVNNE have come into the scene as monster rookies with powerful songs and choreography, and despite just starting, they have much potential to take the world by storm.
