Pledis Entertainment revealed the official photos for DK & Seungkwan's 1st mini-album 'Serenade' yesterday (23rd), showcasing the 青痕 version and COMPACT version. First, the 青痕 version, meaning 'blue stimulus,' shows the traces of emotions left after love has departed. Behind the hazy atmosphere of DK and Seungkwan, countless love letters are stacked like a building. The long-accumulated feelings of love seem to leave an afterglow that cannot yet fade away. In another official photo, their deep gazes catch the eye. From their refined cool aura, a different charm can be felt. The portraits of DK and Seungkwan adorning the wall present the crystallization of emotions they have built over a long time, resembling a work of art. The final COMPACT version captures the two's visuals in a minimalistic way, focusing on the narrative contained in a single moment's expression. Following the official photos of the pure love moment captured in the 純戀 version, these two versions have further unveiled their layers, increasing anticipation for the new song 'Serenade.' Set to be released on January 12 at 6 PM next year, 'Serenade' depicts the entire process between encounters and farewells, from misunderstandings to new beginnings, through emotional storytelling. The album title carries the meaning of 'a love song sung at night (Serenade).'
