Korean-Japanese joint group AEN officially debuts, challenging to be global rookies

AEN, a joint Korean-Japanese boy group, has officially entered the music scene with their debut album, signaling their ambition to become global rookies. The group released their first mini-album, 'A NEW ERA OF NOW,' simultaneously in South Korea and Japan on the 5th.

The album's title, 'A NEW ERA OF NOW,' signifies the starting point of AEN as a team, embodying the message of staying by each other's side beyond any boundaries. The title track, 'X to Z' (Next to me), encapsulates this theme.

'A NEW ERA OF NOW' includes a total of 10 tracks. Alongside 'X to Z,' the album features 'Clockwise,' a song with a heavy synth bass riff and dynamic beat changes; 'Focus On Me,' a refreshing house dance-pop track; 'CHILLS,' an addictive electronic pop song; and 'HIGHFIVE,' a funky hip-hop based dance track.

Reflecting their Korean-Japanese origins, AEN has included both Korean and Japanese versions of these songs on their debut album, offering a diverse listening experience for fans in both countries.
