UP10TION, leaping into a wider world
▶ALBUM: UP10TION connected as one, [CONNECTION]
UP10TION, who transformed into light hunters chasing light, returned with further growth.
UP10TION's 2nd ALBUM [CONNECTION] is an album depicting the spin-off story of 9TH MINI ALBUM [Light UP] released last year.
UP10TION depicts their instinctive anguish through the 'silhouette' version, which tells the story before realizing that each other was the light that brightens each other, while in the 'Illuminate' version, after realizing that each other is the light that brightens each other, UP10TION portrays their visceral agony. With the will to spread the light farther, it made people look forward to the mature UP10TION.
[CONNECTION], which consists of 10 tracks in total, includes 'Sky Line', a self-composed song by Bit-to and Kogyeol, and 'Destroyed' and 'Honey Cake', which were written by Kun and Bitto for most of the b-side songs, adding to the color of UP10TION. In addition, unit songs composed of various combinations were included, showing UP10TION's musical growth.
▶TITLE: Faced again with 'Upsnal Color', 'SPIN OFF'
9TH MINI ALBUM [Light UP] UP10TION, who showed the standard of refreshing sexiness through the title song 'Light', plans to present 'upsnal color' and 'refreshing sexy' more clearly with the title song 'SPIN OFF' of [CONNECTION] to be.
'SPIN OFF' is a song about the passion that overturns the limits of the body and announces the beginning of a new world. The pluck bass and splendid synth sound are impressive. In addition to predicting strong addiction, the meeting with hit song maker Choi Hyun-joon, who made IZ*ONE's 'Violeta' and 'FIESTA', was reestablished following 'Light', raising expectations for the birth of another masterpiece.
In addition, UP10TION captivated everyone's attention with their unique and powerful performances, and improved the level of completion of the stage by providing a variety of sights with choreography that reminds of shadows as if the members were connected to each other.
▶PHOTO: Chic 'silhouette' VS refreshing 'illuminate'
[CONNECTION] The concept photo not only expresses two opposite charms in line with the album version, but also has prepared not only group, unit and individual concept photos, so you can meet various aspects of UP10TION.
In the 'silhouette' version, UP10TION wears black and white outfits and exudes chic charisma and sophistication, and their upgraded visuals immediately caught the attention of the viewers.
On the other hand, the 'illuminate' version featured UP10TION wearing pink outfits against a green forest background, completing a refreshing atmosphere completely different from the 'silhouette' version. In addition, through images that stand out with colorful clothes and antique-style furniture, UP10TION's dynamic energy is fully captured and various charms are presented.
▶MUSIC VIDEO: A mysterious space, splendid changes presented by UP10TION
UP10TION's splendid transformation was accomplished in the music video for the title song 'SPIN OFF'.

2nd ALBUM [CONNECTION]으로 컴백!
업텐션, 더 넓은 세상으로의 도약
▶ALBUM: 하나로 연결된 업텐션, [CONNECTION]
빛을 쫓는 라이트 헌터로 변신했던 업텐션이 한층 더 성장해 돌아왔다.
업텐션의 2nd ALBUM [CONNECTION]은 지난해 발매된 9TH MINI ALBUM [Light UP]의 스핀 오프 이야기를 그린 앨범으로, ‘silhouette’과 ‘Illuminate’ 두 버전으로 구성돼 다채로운 업텐션의 색을 담아냈다.
업텐션은 서로가 서로를 밝혀주는 빛이었음을 깨닫기 전의 이야기를 담은 ‘silhouette’ 버전을 통해 본능적인 고뇌를 그려내는가 하면, ‘Illuminate’ 버전에서는 서로가 서로를 밝혀주는 빛임을 깨달은 후 서로를 환하게 비추는 빛을 더 멀리 퍼뜨리겠다는 의지를 담아내 성장한 업텐션의 모습을 기대케 했다.
총 열 트랙으로 구성된 [CONNECTION]은 수록곡 대부분 작사에 쿤과 비토가 참여, 비토와 고결의 자작곡 ‘Sky Line’과 샤오의 자작곡 ‘Destroyed’, ‘Honey Cake’가 수록돼 업텐션의 색을 더했다. 또한 다양한 조합으로 구성된 유닛곡이 수록, 음악적으로 성장한 업텐션의 모습을 보여줬다.
▶TITLE: 또 한 번 마주한 '업스널컬러', 'SPIN OFF'
9TH MINI ALBUM [Light UP] 타이틀곡 'Light'를 통해 청량 섹시의 정석을 보여줬던 업텐션이 [CONNECTION] 타이틀곡 'SPIN OFF'로 '업스널컬러', '청량 섹시'를 더 확실히 선사할 예정이다.
'SPIN OFF'는 온몸의 한계를 뒤집어 새로 시작될 세상의 서막을 알리는 열정을 노래한 곡으로, Pluck Bass와 화려한 Synth 사운드가 인상적이다. 강력한 중독성을 예고한 것은 물론, 아이즈원의 '비올레타', 'FIESTA' 등을 만든 히트곡 메이커 최현준과의 만남이 'Light'에 이어 재성사돼 또 하나의 명곡 탄생을 기대케 한다.
또한 업텐션은 특유의 파워풀한 퍼포먼스로 시선을 강탈, 멤버들이 서로 연결된 듯 그림자를 연상케하는 안무들로 다채로운 볼거리를 제공하며 무대의 완성도를 높였다.
▶PHOTO: 시크 'silhouette' VS 청량 'illuminate'
[CONNECTION] 콘셉트 포토엔 앨범 버전과 맞춰 상반된 두 가지 매력을 표현한 것은 물론, 단체뿐만 아니라 유닛 및 개인 콘셉트 포토까지 준비돼 업텐션의 다양한 모습을 만날 수 있다.
‘silhouette’ 버전 속 업텐션은 블랙과 화이트 의상을 입고 시크한 카리스마와 세련미를 발산, 한층 업그레이드된 비주얼은 보는 이들의 시선을 단번에 사로잡았다.
반면 'illuminate’ 버전은 푸른 숲을 배경으로 핑크 계열 의상을 입은 업텐션이 등장, ‘silhouette’ 버전과 전혀 다른 청량한 분위기를 완성했다. 또한 컬러풀한 옷과 앤티크풍 가구가 돋보이는 이미지를 통해 업텐션의 역동적인 에너지를 가득 담아내며 다채로운 매력을 선사했다.
▶MUSIC VIDEO: 수수께끼의 공간, 업텐션이 선사하는 화려한 변화
타이틀곡 ‘SPIN OFF’ 뮤직비디오에서 업텐션의 화려한 변신이 성사됐다.
수수께끼의 공간, 각기 다른 곳에서 눈을 뜬 업텐션 멤버들은 자신을 향한 빛을 따라가기 시작, 빛의 끝에서 자신의 거울을 찾고 변화하는 모습을 담아내며 보는 재미를 더했다.
특히 하나의 목표를 향해 달려가는 멤버들의 모습이 하나가 된 업텐션을 의미하며 앞으로의 활동에 대한 기대를 증폭시켰다.

Lyrics by 김원
Arranged by 김원, 배형호
‘만약’은 작곡가 김원의 작품으로 세련된 피아노 코드 진행과 스트링 라인의 고급스러운 R&B 곡으로 각 소절마다 반복되지 않고 새롭게 진행되는 편곡은 가사의 애절한 스토리라인과 조화를 이루며 뚜렷한 기승전결을 들려준다. 처음 만났던 그 순간과는 다르게 서로 다투고 맞지 않아 힘들어하는 연인의 이야기를 현실적이면서도 감성적인 가사로 녹여냈다. 특히 3절에서의 환희와 고결이 주고받는 애드리브는 감성의 절정을 이루며 대미를 장식한다.

총 열 트랙으로 구성된 [CONNECTION]은 수록곡 대부분 작사에 쿤과 비토가 참여, 비토와 고결의 자작곡 ‘Sky Line’과 샤오의 자작곡 ‘Destroyed’, ‘Honey Cake’가 수록돼 업텐션의 색을 더했다. 또한 다양한 조합으로 구성된 유닛곡이 수록, 음악적으로 성장한 업텐션의 모습을 보여줬다.
▶TITLE: 또 한 번 마주한 '업스널컬러', 'SPIN OFF'
9TH MINI ALBUM [Light UP] 타이틀곡 'Light'를 통해 청량 섹시의 정석을 보여줬던 업텐션이 [CONNECTION] 타이틀곡 'SPIN OFF'로 '업스널컬러', '청량 섹시'를 더 확실히 선사할 예정이다.
'SPIN OFF'는 온몸의 한계를 뒤집어 새로 시작될 세상의 서막을 알리는 열정을 노래한 곡으로, Pluck Bass와 화려한 Synth 사운드가 인상적이다. 강력한 중독성을 예고한 것은 물론, 아이즈원의 '비올레타', 'FIESTA' 등을 만든 히트곡 메이커 최현준과의 만남이 'Light'에 이어 재성사돼 또 하나의 명곡 탄생을 기대케 한다.
또한 업텐션은 특유의 파워풀한 퍼포먼스로 시선을 강탈, 멤버들이 서로 연결된 듯 그림자를 연상케하는 안무들로 다채로운 볼거리를 제공하며 무대의 완성도를 높였다.
▶PHOTO: 시크 'silhouette' VS 청량 'illuminate'
[CONNECTION] 콘셉트 포토엔 앨범 버전과 맞춰 상반된 두 가지 매력을 표현한 것은 물론, 단체뿐만 아니라 유닛 및 개인 콘셉트 포토까지 준비돼 업텐션의 다양한 모습을 만날 수 있다.
‘silhouette’ 버전 속 업텐션은 블랙과 화이트 의상을 입고 시크한 카리스마와 세련미를 발산, 한층 업그레이드된 비주얼은 보는 이들의 시선을 단번에 사로잡았다.
반면 'illuminate’ 버전은 푸른 숲을 배경으로 핑크 계열 의상을 입은 업텐션이 등장, ‘silhouette’ 버전과 전혀 다른 청량한 분위기를 완성했다. 또한 컬러풀한 옷과 앤티크풍 가구가 돋보이는 이미지를 통해 업텐션의 역동적인 에너지를 가득 담아내며 다채로운 매력을 선사했다.
▶MUSIC VIDEO: 수수께끼의 공간, 업텐션이 선사하는 화려한 변화
타이틀곡 ‘SPIN OFF’ 뮤직비디오에서 업텐션의 화려한 변신이 성사됐다.
수수께끼의 공간, 각기 다른 곳에서 눈을 뜬 업텐션 멤버들은 자신을 향한 빛을 따라가기 시작, 빛의 끝에서 자신의 거울을 찾고 변화하는 모습을 담아내며 보는 재미를 더했다.
특히 하나의 목표를 향해 달려가는 멤버들의 모습이 하나가 된 업텐션을 의미하며 앞으로의 활동에 대한 기대를 증폭시켰다.

Lyrics by 김원
Arranged by 김원, 배형호
‘만약’은 작곡가 김원의 작품으로 세련된 피아노 코드 진행과 스트링 라인의 고급스러운 R&B 곡으로 각 소절마다 반복되지 않고 새롭게 진행되는 편곡은 가사의 애절한 스토리라인과 조화를 이루며 뚜렷한 기승전결을 들려준다. 처음 만났던 그 순간과는 다르게 서로 다투고 맞지 않아 힘들어하는 연인의 이야기를 현실적이면서도 감성적인 가사로 녹여냈다. 특히 3절에서의 환희와 고결이 주고받는 애드리브는 감성의 절정을 이루며 대미를 장식한다.
