The process of a boy finding his identity, which is not yet complete.
idntt's first album, <unevermet>, from its first unit, captures the raw identity of boys.
The beginning was a deliberation on what kind of music could truly capture the essence of boys, not confined to the traditional boy band format. Music that could tell the real stories of boys without adhering to typical K-POP structures. Even if unpolished, wouldn't it be enough if it contained the worries and ambition of contemporary youth, along with their anxieties and bravado coexisting?
The thrill of 'coincidence' as they live without knowing what tomorrow holds.
The story of a boy's 'challenge' to throw himself into a world without answers.
The 'scars' that grow like medals every time they fall and get back up.
Taking the three keywords—coincidence, challenge, and scars—they created triple title tracks, and each song立体的に captured the real stories boys experience and will experience in life. It's not about cool music or music that pretends to be cool, which is often created by the idol format, but rather the genuine stories of boys.
When will we encounter our own identity?
Do we naturally discover our identity as we grow older, or do we need to experience various fragments of life to find our true selves?
idntt begins to open the door to that journey of discovery.
The intro ‘New’ strives to capture the raw, unpolished essence itself. The ambitious sound felt immediately upon pressing the play button.
The first title track, ‘You Never Met,’ was prepared from the planning stage to showcase the essence of idntt's performance. Although it's music heard with sound, it was created with a balance towards performance, demonstrating youth itself, thrilled by the 'coincidental' first encounter. Proof that these boys, whom you haven't met yet, were dancing and singing somewhere in this city every day.
The second title track, ‘Throw It,’ is an idntt-style track created by producer Kenji and KZLAB. It's an anthem to the 'challenge' of throwing everything you have without looking back. A song where you can discover the diverse charms of idntt members on a dynamic beat filled with fervent passion.
The third title track, ‘BOYtude,’ is an abbreviation of Boy Attitude, capturing the confident stance of boys living in a harsh world. If ‘scars’ are inevitable every time they fall and stumble, then don't avoid them; consider them medals. The clarity of boys, completed by producer EL CAPITXN alongside ‘You Never Met.’
‘Instant Chemistry’ describes a boy's first feelings of love. Everyone has a first love, but whether it comes to fruition or remains a summer fever is up to the boy. Producer PK gifted this song, focusing on the harmony of idntt members' voices.
‘EGO:Limitless’ is like an anthem for idntt, with its 24 identities. It carries the message that if all 24 EGOs come together, even the impossible can become reality. This is the story of idntt overcoming limits as it continues with 'yesweare' and 'itsnotover'. The song was completed under the guidance of producer NoIdentity.
‘Adolescence’ sings that a boy's journey toward identity, even if it seems precarious to some or sometimes leaves him wounded and broken, is a moment that shines brilliantly as a journey itself. A story about the most boyish moments, crafted by producer VERSACHOI.
The beginning of a journey where 24 distinct identities come together to complete idntt. We hope that while watching this, your own identity will also become clearer.
