Today (24th), their agency Big Planet Made officially announced through social media the third set of concept photos for VIVIZ's 5th mini album 'VOYAGE'. Prior to this, VIVIZ had recently released the first and second sets of concept photos in succession. The first and second sets showcased a relaxed and free atmosphere felt during travel, while the third set captivated with a mysterious vibe. In the individual concept photos, the members each displayed their charm with elegant and unique styles. The 5th mini album 'VOYAGE' will be released about a year after the 4th mini album 'VERSUS', which was launched last year. In the 4th mini album 'VERSUS', VIVIZ showed their determination to forge a new path despite a predetermined stable fate, while the 5th mini album 'VOYAGE' depicts a story of becoming the protagonist of their own lives. The word 'travel' encapsulates the future that VIVIZ will continue to portray. VIVIZ, who caused a resurgence in music rankings in the first half of this year with the title track 'MANIAC' from the 4th mini album and successfully completed a world tour across 27 cities in 6 countries, has heightened interest in what kind of music they will bring with their comeback through the 5th mini album 'VOYAGE'.
