The group Kep1er will release their debut full-length album.
This album is notable as it will be the first and last full-length album from Kep1er as a nine-member group. Formed through the 2021 Mnet show 'Girls Planet 999: The Girls Saga,' Kep1er recently became the first Mnet project group to successfully renew their contract and will continue as a seven-member group in the future.
Kep1er plans to pour all the skills they have accumulated over the past 2 years and 6 months since their debut into this release.
Kep1er members (Choi Yujin, Xiaoting, Mashiro, Kim Chaehyun, Kim Dayeon, Hikaru, Huening Bahiyyih, Seo Youngeun, and Kang Yeseo) will release their first full-length album 'Kep1going On' on various online music sites today (3rd) at 6 PM.
'Kep1going On' is their first new release in about 9 months since their mini-album 'Magic Hour' last September and is also their first full-length album in Korea. The album commemorates the time Kep1er and their fans, Keplian (official fandom name), have shared together and conveys their determination to continue pursuing their dreams, offering something special to their fans.
The title track 'Shooting Star' is a synth-pop song characterized by rhythmic drums, an emotional synth line, and an electric guitar, expressing a heartfelt message to Keplian. It continues Kep1er's storytelling seen in tracks like 'Planet' and 'Galileo,' showcasing their growth with dynamic progression and increasingly intense emotions towards the end.
The teaser for the 'Shooting Star' music video previously revealed intense point choreography reminiscent of stars and light, and parts of the elaborate choreography reflecting Kep1er's unity, garnering significant global fan interest. The snippet of the song's addictive chorus further heightened anticipation for their comeback.
'Kep1going On' includes a total of 10 diverse tracks: 'Last Carnival,' 'Curious,' 'Flowers, Flutter, Your Heart,' 'Double Up!,' 'PUSH BUTTON,' 'PROBLEM,' 'Dear Diary,' Korean versions of 'Grand Prix' and 'Straight Line.' Member Kim Dayeon made her rap-making debut on the title track 'Shooting Star,' and Mashiro contributed to the lyrics of 'Curious,' adding significance to the album.
Kep1er's first full-length album 'Kep1going On' will be available for listening from 6 PM on the 3rd.
