Overview

  • The five-track set is led by “Pinocchio,” joined by “Everything is Love (Intro),” “Run at 1.5x Speed,” “Never Lose You,” and “The Sleeping Diary (Outro).”
  • Members describe a “rough youth” concept that confronts the anxiety and hardship of growing up to express a more genuine self.
  • Producer El Capitxn returned for the project, with the lead single leaning into an emotive pop-rock, band-driven sound built around the Pinocchio motif.
  • AHOF introduced the record at a media showcase at Yes24 Live Hall in Seoul, noting tougher choreography compared with the group’s boyish debut era.
  • The multinational rookie act builds on early momentum after 360,000 first-week debut sales, three music-show wins, and a sold-out fan concert in Manila.
