From &TEAM’s second Korean mini album "Mark on Me," which will be released in Korea on Tuesday, September 8, and in Japan on Monday, September 21 (a national holiday), the group, unit, and solo cuts of the concept photos for the CRAVE YOU version have been unveiled. In contrast to the previously released concept photos for the "TAME ME" version, the newly released "CRAVE YOU" version is set against collapsed castle walls and ruins, with a blue, dark full-moon night sky spreading across the space. The boys struggle between the wildness as "wolves," which is &TEAM’s identity, and the humanity they cannot hide. Scars that cannot disappear are carved into each of their bodies, and the strong bond that deepens as they meet "you," who also carries wounds like themselves, accept each other’s existence, and overlap their wounds, is depicted. The core of the "CRAVE YOU" concept is the 모습 of boys wavering between rough wildness and the humanity that remains within it. The solo cuts, in which they gently lean their faces against cold statues, express the loneliness left behind by wounds and a longing for human warmth. In addition, the unit cuts, in which bodies marked with the same wounds are layered together, depict the strong bond of a "wolf pack" born from finding an existence similar to oneself and drawing close together. Even under the full moon, when their wildness becomes strongest, the boys cannot become completely beasts, nor can they fully display their humanity, and they continue to stand on that boundary line. In the blue space that expresses the coolness of a night when the full moon rises, the refined visuals of the nine members, dressed in sophisticated outfits incorporating grunge elements, stand out amid the vivid contrast of light and shadow. The subdued makeup, the wolf-like gleam in their eyes, and the rough hair styling further enhance their precarious yet beautiful atmosphere. Meanwhile, a track sampler is scheduled to be released at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, August 31, and the musical teasing for this work will finally begin in earnest. Expectations for the latest album are likely to rise even further.
