Band TOUCHED to release first full-length album 'Polar Night'

Five years after their debut, the band TOUCHED has announced their first full-length album, 'Polar Night', which will feature dark inner stories and is followed by a solo concert scheduled between the end of this year and the beginning of next year.

The band TOUCHED has announced news of their first full-length album release, five years after their debut.

Appearing on the KBS program 'The Seasons - Sung Si-kyung, Your Eardrum Boyfriend' broadcast on 261030, TOUCHED performed 'Hee Jae', an OST from the movie 'Scent of Love'. The performance began with the team's vocalist M!N reinterpreting the senior singer's song. To support M!N's vocals, the members of TOUCHED focused on the chorus, enhancing the team's completeness.

M!N's vocal capabilities draw praise from Sung Si-kyung

Although M!N showed signs of nervousness just before the stage, he maintained the emotional line of the song during the subsequent performance of 'Hee Jae'. After the song ended, host Sung Si-kyung evaluated M!N's vocals, stating, "He produces sound in his own style." He added, "A band is a team that continuously produces sound and performs," noting, "It was clearly audible how well the vocalist's sound is attached to his body."

M!N revealed that he had even looked up videos of Sung Si-kyung while practicing the song. "I once saw a comment saying, 'Only Sung Si-kyung should sing Hee Jae,'" he said. "I was extremely nervous to sing this song in front of Sung Si-kyung, so I am relieved that he praised me."

First full-length album 'Polar Night' to contain dark inner stories

TOUCHED has officially confirmed the release of their first full-length album five years after their debut. The title of this album has been set as 'Polar Night'. This work differs in tone from the energetic and charismatic image they have previously shown.

TOUCHED stated they plan to capture inner stories and dark emotions in this album. The album title, 'Polar Night', carries the meaning that the night continues. The members suggested that they have included deep musical contemplations while preparing this album.

Movements leading to solo concert at the end of the year

Along with the new album release, TOUCHED shared their solo concert schedule, which will take place between the end of the year and the beginning of the next year. These performances, held annually between December and January, are one of the biggest stages for TOUCHED.

This solo concert, marking its fifth year, is expected to be an opportunity to directly present the band's musical results to the audience. TOUCHED has completed preparations to meet fans through the album release and performances.
