Description (Translated):

An invitation to a dark space, VERIVERY caught in a trap
VERIVERY discovered their own dark inner space (O) and made a comeback with [ROUND 2: HOLE] in the summer of 2021 after [ROUND 1: HALL], the beginning of the narrative about how to utilize the darkness they found. .

Another me, immersed in darkness. SERIES 'O' [ROUND 2 : HOLE]
[ROUND 2: HOLE] is expected to culminate the plot of SERIES 'O' by adding the tension of the story that unfolds like a death game as if one person is breaking the quest one by one and the speedy feeling of being sucked deep into the darkness.

While the existence of inviting VERIVERY to a party of sweet frenzy in the dark space of the last album is vaguely revealed, with the appearance of a person he did not want to face, VERIVERY's existence gradually fades and is immersed in its own space, soon being engulfed in darkness.

Verivery submerged in seven spaces, the comeback of 'Horror Berry'
This album aims to show two meanings derived from the single word 'lock'. The message of this album is expressed in an ambiguous way through the appearance of VERIVERY, from the LOCK mood from the point of view of an omniscient observer who sees VERIVERY trapped in seven rooms, to the SINK mood that is gradually immersed in darkness through the use of water.

In the jacket, the white-colored costumes reminiscent of experimental subjects in the game and workwear with a more mature and masculine feel will intensely show each member's independent charm.

The performance of VERIVERY this time undergoes a major change as a whole. In order to give a different feeling from the sharp group dance that has been shown so far, a strong and manly feeling is added, and the point choreography that intuitively expresses the lyrics is harmonized with the hip-hop base to create a new composition. The power to complete VERIVERY's unique sophisticated group dance will explosively show the progressively developing performance potential.

In the music video, the unknown being wearing a mask that appeared in the previous 'Get Away' is scheduled to reveal its face, and the members' confusion in the darkness that grows out of control is captured. The bleak production that matches the reputation of 'Horror Berry' brings another sense of tension and joy to fans who have been waiting for VERIVERY's summer. In particular, it will be fun to find and interpret the meaning of the objects hidden in the music video and the narrative extension between the last album.

3.Prom
As a self-composed song by VERIVERY members, the house rhythm and bass groove are impressive, and the woodwind and string sounds in the second half create a fairy tale-like production. The witty and refreshing lyrics on the theme of 'Prom' double the atmosphere of the song.

Description (Original):

어둠의 공간으로의 초대, 덫에 걸린 VERIVERY
VERIVERY가 각자가 지니고 있는 어두운 내면의 공간(O)을 발견하고, 이들이 발견한 어둠을 어떻게 활용할지에 대한 서사의 시작 [ROUND 1 : HALL]을 지나 2021년 여름 [ROUND 2 : HOLE]로 컴백했다.

또 다른 나, 어둠에 잠기다. SERIES 'O' [ROUND 2 : HOLE]
[ROUND 2 : HOLE]은 한 명씩 퀘스트를 깨나가는 듯 데스 게임과 같이 전개되는 스토리의 긴장감과 어둠 속으로 깊게 빨려 들어가는 속도감까지 더해져 SERIES 'O' 플롯의 정점을 찍을 예정이다.

지난 앨범 어둠의 공간 속 달콤한 광란의 파티장으로 VERIVERY를 초대한 존재가 어렴풋이 드러난 가운데, 마주하고 싶지 않았던 이의 등장으로 점차 VERIVERY의 존재는 흐려져 가고 각자의 공간에 잠기며 이내 어둠에 잠식된다.

일곱 개의 공간에 잠긴 VERIVERY, '호러 베리'의 컴백
이번 앨범은 '잠기다'라는 하나의 단어에서 파생된 두 가지의 의미를 보여주고자 한다. 일곱 개의 방에 갇힌 VERIVERY를 보는 전지적 관찰자 시점의 LOCK 무드와 물을 사용한 연출로 점차 어둠에 잠겨가는(잠식되어 가는) SINK 무드까지 VERIVERY의 모습을 통해 이번 앨범의 메시지를 중의적으로 표현한다.

자켓에서는 게임 속 실험체를 연상케 하는 화이트 컬러의 의상과 한층 성숙해지고 남자다운 느낌의 워크웨어로 각 멤버가 가진 독립적인 매력을 강렬하게 보여줄 예정이다.

이번 VERIVERY의 퍼포먼스는 전체적으로 큰 변화를 겪는다. 그동안 선보인 칼군무와는 다른 느낌을 주기 위해 강하고 남자다운 느낌을 더했고, 힙합 베이스에 가사를 직관적으로 표현하는 포인트 안무가 어우러져 새롭게 구성된다. VERIVERY 특유의 정교한 군무를 완성시킬 파워풀함은 점차 발전하는 퍼포먼스 포텐셜을 폭발적으로 보여줄 것이다.

뮤직비디오에서는 지난 'Get Away'에서 등장한 복면을 쓴 미지의 존재가 얼굴을 드러낼 예정으로 걷잡을 수 없이 커지는 어둠에 속수무책으로 당하는 멤버들의 혼란스러움을 담아낸다. '호러 베리'의 명성에 맞는 스산한 느낌의 연출은 VERIVERY의 여름을 기다린 팬들에게 또 다른 긴장감과 즐거움을 선사한다. 특히, 뮤직비디오 내에 숨겨진 오브제들의 의미와 지난 앨범 간에 서사 연장선을 찾아 해석하는 재미도 있을 것이다.

1. TRIGGER
타이틀 곡 'TRIGGER'는 Glitch hop과 미드 템포 장르의 요소를 가미한 곡으로, 유니크하고 중독성 강한 인트로 시그니처 사운드와 Texture 사운드가 돋보이는 곡이다.

3. Prom
VERIVERY 멤버들의 자작곡으로 하우스 리듬과 베이스 그루브가 인상적이며, 후반부에 펼쳐지는 Woodwind와 스트링 사운드는 동화 같은 연출을 이끌어 낸다. 'Prom' 이라는 주제로 재치있고, 청량하게 풀어낸 가사는 곡의 분위기를 배가시킨다.

4. Heart Attack
Deep House 장르에 Metal, Trap, Future Bass 장르의 전환을 표현한 곡으로, 청량하고도 힘 있는 보컬과 강렬한 킥 베이스가 조화를 이루는 곡이다.
