CORSS GENE (Cross Gene)─ 5th mini album 「ZERO」─
Cross Gene (Shin, Seyoung, Sangmin, Takuya, Yongseok) reorganized into 5 members started from 'O' for a new leap forward with their 5th mini album <ZERO>
Destruction, Regeneration, and the New World
This mini-album <ZERO> seeks a turning point with three concepts, starting from pure 'nothingness' and ending with 'destruction', 'regeneration', and 'new world'. Chapter 1, <Dystopia> expressing 'destruction', Chapter 2, 'Emergency' meaning 'regeneration', and Chapter 3, <Dalrang Malang>, a journey to the unreachable 'New World'. These three songs fully represent the feelings of Cross Gene, who repeatedly emphasize 'NEW'. <Dystopia> has the meaning that utopia, which originated from ignorant greed of human beings who had only received wealth until now, ends and rushes to destruction, but at the end, we must find a faint light of hope that may disappear and cherish it. Beginning with a desire to find the lost world again, <Flight>, a song that soars to the unpredictable future, starts from 'ZERO' as if nothing ever existed. As if a new color is applied from a pure crystal, it contains the desire to abandon the 'I' so far and reorganize the wings to fly up and find a new 'me'. Cross Gene, who started dreaming of a destroyed utopia once again, meets at a turning point in their destiny. <Dalrang Malang> is a song about the promise of those connected by the invisible red thread of fate and the fateful partner they hold at the end. Now, let's take a leap forward together with Cross Gene, who has revealed a more mature inside and outside by embracing the scent of a man and increasing his attractiveness.
PHOTOBOOK
The photobook, which is connected to the concept of the album title starting with 'ZERO', also adds meaning by expressing it in a simple and natural way, as if unnecessary things were removed. The red ribbon, which expresses that a person of destiny is connected by an invisible red thread, also means a woman of destiny, but it is also meaningful because it expresses the connection with the fans and the members who have built trust and trust so far.
In the special photo, where you can feel the atmosphere of the music video filming site for the title song <Dalrang Malang>, a cross-gene wandering in search of a 'destiny partner' is expressed. No obstacles can stop Cross Gene, but if you reach out toward the relationship, the relationship with added regret is revealed as if you can't reach it. In the end, each space where the members are is connected to 'ZERO', which is only stopped at the starting point that does not reach the destination, although it is connected to one point. Holding tight to the string of hope.
01 Dystopia
Lyrics by Yun Wha Jung / Arranged by Laconic, Ryan S. Jhun
A modern ballad song that compares the world view of love and separation to utopia and dystopia. The beautiful melody and lyrics embodying the sadness of separation are exquisitely harmonized.
02 Dalrang Malang
Lyrics by cosmic girl, cosmic sound, Yoon dak / Composed by cosmic girl, cosmic sound
It is a song of Cosmic Sound, which is famous for working with artists such as 'Mamamoo' and 'San-E' with good digital records. Cross Gene's 'Sweet & Sexy', which adds maturity to the scent of a man, expresses the freshness of 'Mindang' as the tropical sound of the chorus announces the beginning of a subtle love between a man and a woman.
03 Believe me
Lyrics, Composed, Arranged by Hong Ji Yu, Bull$EyE
It is a tropical pop genre that combines refreshing funk sound and melodic vocal chop. It is a dynamic song with the build-up that adds tension in the pre-chorus and the grandeur of the brass sound that shines in the chorus.
04 Emergency
Lyrics by ZNEE / Composed, Arranged by Scott Russell Stoddart, Kyler Niko, Ryan S. Jhun
It is a dance hall song with a message soaring towards the dream of tomorrow. It is a song with bright lyrics and chorus that unfolds a dream with the mind of an adult child who has not yet matured.

CORSS GENE (크로스진)─ 5th mini album 「ZERO」─
5명으로 재정비한 크로스진(신, 세영, 상민, 타쿠야, 용석)이 새로운 도약을 위해 ‘O’에서부터 출발한 5번째 미니앨범 < ZERO >
파괴와 재생, 그리고 신세계
이번 미니앨범 < ZERO >는 순수한 ‘무(無)’에서부터 출발해 ‘파괴’, ‘재생’, 그리고 ‘신세계’로의 3가지 콘셉트로 터닝포인트를 꾀한다. 제1장, ‘파괴’를 표현한 < Dystopia >를 비롯해 제2장, ‘재생’의 의미인 <비상>을 거쳐 제3장, 닿을 수 없는 ‘신세계’로까지의 여정인 <달랑말랑>. 이 세개의 곡은 ‘NEW’를 반복해서 강조하는 크로스진의 심경을 오롯이 대변한다. 지금까지 유복하게 받기만 했던 인간의 무지한 욕심에서 비롯된 유토피아가 끝나면서 파괴로 치닫지만, 그 끝에는 어쩌면 사라질 수도 있는 희미한 희망의 불빛을 찾아내 소중하게 지켜야 한다는 의미를 품은 < Dystopia >. 잃어버린 세계를 다시 찾고자 하는 열망에서 시작해 예측불허의 미래를 향해 도약하고자 날아오르는 곡 <비상>은 마치 아무것도 존재하지 않았던 것처럼 ‘ZERO’에서부터 출발점을 달리한다. 순수한 결정체에서 새로운 컬러를 입히듯, 지금까지의 ‘나’를 버리고 날개를 재정비해 날아올라 새로운 ‘나’를 찾아가고자 하는 염원이 고스란히 담겨 있다. 파괴된 유토피아를 다시 한 번 꿈꾸며 시작된 크로스진이 운명의 전환점에서 만나는 곡 <달랑말랑>은, 보이지 않는 운명의 빨간 실로 연결된 이들의 다짐과 그 끝에 품고 있는 운명의 상대를 향해 노래한다. 이제는 남자의 향기를 품고 매력도를 증가시켜 보다 성숙해진 내외면을 드러낸 크로스진의 손을 잡고 함께 도약해보자.
PHOTOBOOK
‘ZERO’부터 시작한다는 앨범 타이틀의 콘셉트와 연결되는 포토북 또한, 필요 없는 것들을 제거한 것처럼, 심플하고 내추럴하게 표현해 의미를 더한다. 운명의 사람과 보이지 않는 붉은 실로 연결되어 있다는 것을 표현한 빨간 리본은 운명의 여성을 뜻하기도 하지만 지금까지 믿음과 신뢰를 쌓아준 멤버와의 인연, 팬들과의 연결고리를 표현해 의미가 깊다.
타이틀곡 <달랑말랑>의 뮤직비디오 촬영 현장의 분위기를 느낄 수 있는 특전 사진에는 ‘운명의 상대’를 찾기 위해 방황하는 크로스진이 표현됐다. 그 어떤 장애물도 크로스진을 막을 수 없지만 인연을 향해 손을 뻗으면 닿을 듯 말 듯 안타까움이 더해진 관계가 드러난다. 결국 멤버들이 있는 각자의 공간은 한 지점으로 연결되어 있지만 목적지에 닿지 않는 출발점에서 멈추고 있을 뿐인 ‘ZERO’와 연결되는 것이다. 희망의 끈을 꼭 쥔 채.
01 Dystopia
Lyrics by Yun Wha Jung / Arranged by Laconic, Ryan S. Jhun
사랑과 이별의 세계관을 유토피아와 디스토피아에 빗대어 표현한 모던한 발라드곡으로, 아름다운 멜로디와 이별의 슬픔이 묻어난 가사가 절묘하게 어우러진 노래.
02 달랑말랑
Lyrics by cosmic girl, cosmic sound, Yoon dak / Composed by cosmic girl, cosmic sound
‘마마무’, ‘산이’ 등 음원성적이 좋은 아티스트와의 작업으로 유명한 코스믹 사운드의 곡으로 가사에서 보여주듯 ‘썸’의 시작을 알리는 곡으로 트로피컬 사운드의 R&B멜로디로 구성되어 있다. 남자의 향기에 성숙미가 더해진 크로스진의 ‘sweet & sexy’는 특히 후렴구의 트로피컬 사운드가 남녀간 미묘한 사랑의 시작을 알리고 있어 ‘밀당’의 신선함을 표현한다.
03 Believe me
Lyrics, Composed, Arranged by Hong Ji Yu, Bull$EyE
청량한 펑크 사운드와 Melodic Vocal Chop이 어우러진 트로피컬 팝 장르로, Pre-chorus 에서의 긴장감을 더해주는 빌드 업과 후렴에서 빛을 발하는 브라스 사운드의 웅장함이 다이나믹한 곡이다.
04 비상
Lyrics by ZNEE / Composed, Arranged by Scott Russell Stoddart, Kyler Niko, Ryan S. Jhun
내일의 꿈을 향해 비상하는 메시지를 담은 댄스홀 노래로, 아직 철들지 않은 어른 아이의 마음으로 꿈을 펼쳐내는 밝은 분위기의 가사와 코러스가 돋보이는 곡이다.
