EASTSHINE - 2nd Mini Album [LUMINOUS]
[LUMINOUS] is EASTSHINE's second mini-album presented to fans after the release of their 1st mini-album in November 2023 and the single 'Heartthrob' in May 2024.
During this time, they poured their passion into busy schedules including a Japanese survival program, concert dates, and album preparations.
In February, the pre-release of 'Next Your Words,' a track from their 2nd mini-album, brought anticipation to their fans.
This comeback showcases a more mature side to the fans, and through stages prepared with more depth than ever before, the members' deepened musicality can be seen.
[LUMINOUS], like its title meaning 'to shine,' contains more mature musical colors and diverse emotions.
Robbie Nevil, the composer of the title track 'Lucky Tonight' from this 2nd mini-album, is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist.
As a producer and composer, he has a track record of over 40 songs reaching the top ranks of Billboard, raising expectations for EASTSHINE's title track and future activities.
In particular, bolstered by EASTSHINE's producer, CEO Hwang Tae-min, leader IEL actively participated in writing lyrics, composing, and arranging.
As the leader, IEL participated in the production of this work, directly leading the overall direction of the album and showing a more grown-up artistic side.
It can be said that the album is virtually a collection of lyrics containing IEL's direct thoughts and messages.
Q&A. IEL wrote all the lyrics for this album. What is the meaning and concept of [LUMINOUS]?
: The key theme of this album is 'youth.' The album title [LUMINOUS] means 'to shine even in darkness.' Youth, in some ways, is a time filled with many efforts and worries, but looking back, I believe it's a period with the brightest and best memories. Therefore, this album tells stories about love and dreams, the most common emotions felt during one's youth.
Q&A. Next Your Words?
: It's a sweet song that expresses the feeling of love for someone of the opposite sex, frankly confessing those fluttering emotions, and then waiting for their reply.
Q&A. What is Lucky Tonight?
: It's a song that conveys the meaning that nights spent passionately burning through youth without regret bring the greatest luck. It also carries the message that time passes and does not return, so there is great learning in doing your best in every moment and challenging yourself, and that failure is just another experience.
Q&A. What is Bling Bling?
: It's a song with the aspiration that even though you know it's painful, if you endure for success and search for the right answer, you will eventually shine.
Q&A. What is So I?
: It's a song about falling in love with a friend of the opposite sex at some point, and expressing pure feelings, likened to a purple light, through a confession.
Through [LUMINOUS], EASTSHINE hopes to move forward with steps that shine from the darkness, becoming "EAST+SHINE," and to be an artist who can give support and courage to their fans.
EASTSHINE is a 5-member boy group (IEL, Dongjae, Hyun, LUMIN, Phoenix) that carries the meaning of wishing to become a light (SHINE) in Korea, located in the East.
