MODYSSEY aims for diverse musical concepts with new album How We Bloom

The group MODYSSEY has launched their new album 'How We Bloom,' expressing ambitions to move beyond a refreshing image by exploring genres ranging from old-school hip-hop to "elegant sexy" concepts.

The group MODYSSEY is beginning a new musical journey. They have greeted fans with their new album 'How We Bloom,' which carries the meaning of a seed blooming into a beautiful flower.

Through content released by STONE MUSIC, the members of MODYSSEY revealed their mindsets for this upcoming promotion and expressed their individual personalities without reservation. In particular, their sincerity toward music was evident as they conveyed the message of the album and asked for fans' support.

Overcoming language barriers through practice

The members spoke candidly about the difficulties they faced during the process of learning Korean. When asked about the most difficult Korean words to pronounce, one member mentioned words containing the 'ㄹ' batchim, sharing an experience of being momentarily flustered because they could not understand a word immediately. The members built a sense of empathy as they confessed to moments where they were dazed due to pronunciation.

Efforts to improve their language skills continued. When asked for the secret of a member with good Korean pronunciation, one member explained the process of practicing repeatedly with a pen, stating, "I practiced rap a lot." The members created a warm atmosphere as they acknowledged each other's Korean language abilities.

Challenging limitless concepts from "elegant sexy" to hip-hop

Expressing confidence in their stage performances by picking their own "prime" moments, the members also shared specific ambitions regarding the genres they wish to challenge in the future. Their determination to show various colors rather than settling for a refreshing image was confirmed.

The members agreed that they want to pursue sexy concepts in contrast to their refreshing image. Their ambitions raised expectations for MODYSSEY's infinite spectrum, ranging from opinions such as "we want an elegant sexy concept rather than simple sexiness" to "we want to handle everything from old-school hip-hop or B-boy style hip-hop to bouncy, refreshing styles." They also recalled a stage where they covered a song by BTS as their most memorable moment, remembering the positive reaction they received when performing the song of a senior artist.

"Diet management and exercise are the secrets"… different lifestyles of the members

The daily tastes and management methods of the members also drew interest. One member who is strict with diet management revealed a thorough self-care method, stating, "I exercise for 40 minutes every day and eat things good for the skin, such as yogurt or tomatoes." Conversely, distinct differences in food preferences appeared among the members. While some members prefer pork belly, galbitang, or soybean paste stew, others showed contrasts, such as a member who likes cold buckwheat noodles but prefers warm food, and even a member who has never eaten cold buckwheat noodles.

Sharp differences were also revealed in their travel styles. While some are "vacationers" who prefer resting in hotels, others are members who like walking while drinking coffee in scenic locations, while "impulsive" members who head outside without a plan also appeared, confirming their different tendencies. Through a balance game, they confirmed each other's personalities, showing that members with different individualities come together to form one team.

MODYSSEY concluded their conversation by conveying affectionate greetings to fans, along with a determination to prove the process of blooming from a seed to a flower through their music during this promotion.
