K said, "We practiced a lot to show our strength, 'Karu Gunbu' (a dance with sharp angles and perfect coordination from the body to the fingertips, like a sharp knife)." Next, JO said, "The title track 'War Cry' is a powerful rock song different from the previous & TEAM. We want to convey the new atmosphere that has been added to our color." Leader EJ also emphasized, "I want to show fans that we have grown in the album. We put a lot of effort into expression and singing for each song." Photo = ELLE KOREA K, who participated in the choreography of the songs in "First Howling: NOW," said, "EJ and JO have long limbs and their movements look powerful, so powerful choreography suits them well. I'm thinking of creating choreography that highlights the characteristics and abilities of each member." Warm messages to each other also continued. In particular, JO said, "K-kun, who always listens to my worries and makes me laugh a lot, and EJ-kun, who leads the team well as the leader and is kind to me, have helped me a lot. I want to create a wonderful team with everyone."
