As I Am marks TEMPESTs return after seven months since the mini album RE: Full of Youth released in March. The new album includes five songs, of which In The Dark is the title track. The song CHILL was directly composed by Hyuk and LEW members, bearing the groups personal mark.
Sharing at the event, Hyuk said he was inspired to compose CHILL from the moments of his youth and the efforts of his trainee journey. I think a lot about the meaning of resting and enjoying the present. When writing the song, I recalled the emotions of the late-night practice days with the members," he confided.
In particular, Hyuk revealed that he is greatly influenced by BTS's music. I listened to a lot of BTS songs for inspiration. Their music brings me great comfort and motivation," the male idol added.
TEMPEST is currently considered one of the Gen 4 boy groups that are trying to affirm their own musical identity. With As I Am, the group promises to bring a more mature and profound image, continuing the journey of conveying positive energy and messages about youth through music.
