V01D released the album YOUTHQUAKE on the 19th, featuring tracks like 'My Youth' and 'Best Part' that reinterpret the anxiety and wandering of youth as a driving force for growth and connection.

V01D has returned with music that reinterprets the anxiety and wandering of youth as a driving force for growth. Released on the 19th, the new album 'YOUTHQUAKE' combines the words "Youth" and "Quake" to signify the massive movement and change created by youth. It captures moments of building one's own world by turning the instability and wandering of youth into a power to move forward.

A unique color unshaken by the gaze of others

The third track, 'My Youth', which opens the album, is a song that pierces through the core message of this release. It carries the message of living one's own youth despite the gaze of others and the worries of reality. Rather than being shaken by the words "That’s your problem," the song uses an intense band sound to tell the story of leaving yesterday behind and filling the present moment with one's own colors.

The narrative of youth expanding from 'I' to 'we'

The album 'YOUTHQUAKE' does not stop at individual anguish but expands the meaning of youth through relationships and the passage of time. It begins with 'Scream Out Now', which depicts walking the chosen path and raising one's voice to the world despite constant instability, followed by 'Memory', which portrays someone who restarted a stalled world and the time to be filled together in the future. This is followed by the fan song 'Best Part', which remembers every moment spent with those who stayed by one's side even as time flows rapidly as the brightest scenes, expanding the youth of "I" into the youth of "we."

'Ending Credit', which serves as the grand finale of the album, speaks of a new beginning at the end. The message that our story continues even after one scene ends, and that the movement toward another beginning does not stop, highlights the heat of this current moment of youth, characterized by shaking, colliding, and being together.
