CLASS:y, 1st Mini Album Y 'CLASS IS OVER' released
From Global Audition, "We customize our own!" A new concept customizing K-pop group scramble

Generation Z K-pop rookie CLASS:y (Won Ji-min, Kim Seon-yu, Myeong Hyung-seo, Hong Hye-joo, Kim Ri-won, Park Bo-eun, Yoon Chae-won) will release their first mini-album Y 'CLASS IS OVER' on May 5, 2022.

CLASS:y was born through the MBC global K-pop girl audition 'After School Excitement', which ended in February 2022. As a 7-member group with an average age of 16 and unlimited potential for growth, K-pop fans around the world drew attention, winning first place in the topical non-drama category for 11 consecutive weeks during the broadcast.

CLASS:y is 'CLASS' (Class is over) meaning 'I finished class (excitement after school)', ':' (colon) giving the meaning of a new beginning (chapter), 'the same K-pop but on a different level' Let's enjoy Mr.'s music' is the team name combining 'Why (=Y) don't we enjoy same same but different music of CLASSY?' It contains the aspiration of 'Klassie, who has surpassed the audition, will captivate the world's K-pop fans with music of a different dimension'.

CLASS:y's world view (UNIVERSE) is variously transformed and expanded with the motto of 'We customize our own' (we make our own). It was noted that all members are Generation Z. They compete in the global K-pop market as a group that customizes each time through active communication with the characteristics of Generation Z, who are both consumers and producers.

CLASS:y named their first album '1st Mini Album Y' and uniquely set all songs as titles. Instead of X, which is represented by an unknown number, Y (unknown unknowns) was put in, foretelling an unpredictable and spectacular world view of CLASS:y.

The title of the debut album is 'CLASS IS OVER', and it contains 5 songs that contain the personality and identity of CLASS:y. The representative title song is 'SHUT DOWN', a unique genre called K-Wood (K-Pop + Bollywood) with powerful energy and strong restraint. It is an impressive dance song with an explosive chorus and ad-libs, expressing CLASS:y's will to unleash their new selves to the fullest. It was produced by former hitmaker Ryan and former division of Ryan.

CLASS:y(클라씨), 1st Mini Album Y 'CLASS IS OVER' 발매
글로벌 오디션 출신, "We customize our own!" 신개념 커스터마이징 K팝 그룹 출격

Z세대 K팝 루키 CLASS:y(원지민·김선유·명형서·홍혜주·김리원·박보은·윤채원)가 가 2022년 5월 5일 첫 미니앨범 Y 'CLASS IS OVER'를 발표한다.

CLASS:y는 2022년 2월 종영한 MBC 글로벌 K팝 걸오디션 '방과후 설렘'을 통해 탄생했다. 평균연령 16세의 성장 가능성이 무한한 7인조로, 방송 당시 11주 연속 비드라마 화제성 부문 1위를 차지하는 등 세계 K팝 팬들의 관심이 집중됐다.

CLASS:y는 '수업(방과후 설렘)을 끝냈다'는 의미의 'CLASS'(Class is over), 새로운 시작(chapter)의 의미를 부여한 ':'(콜론), '같은 K팝이지만 차원이 다른 클라씨의 음악을 즐겨보자'는 'Why(=Y) don't we enjoy same same but different music of CLASSY?'를 결합한 팀명이다. '오디션을 넘어선 클라씨가 차원이 다른 음악으로 세계 K팝 팬들을 사로잡겠다'라는 포부가 담겼다.

CLASS:y의 세계관(UNIVERSE)은 'We customize our own'(우리의 것은 우리가 만든다)을 모토로 다양하게 변형, 확장된다. 전 멤버가 Z세대라는 점을 주목했다. 소비하는 주체이자, 생산하는 주체인 Z세대의 특성을 담아 적극적인 소통을 통해 매번 새롭게 커스터마이즈(Customize)하는 그룹으로 글로벌 K팝 시장에서 승부한다.

CLASS:y는 첫 앨범을 '1st Mini Album Y'로 명명하고, 독특하게 전 곡을 타이틀로 정했다. 미지수로 대표되는 X가 아닌 미지수 Y(알려지지 않은 미지-unknown unknowns)를 넣어, 예측 불가능하고 스펙터클한 CLASS:y의 세계관을 예고했다.

데뷔앨범 타이틀명은 'CLASS IS OVER'로 CLASS:y의 개성과 정체성이 담긴 5곡으로 담겼다. 대표 타이틀곡은 파워풀한 에너지와 절제력이 강한 K-Wood(K-Pop + Bollywood)라는 독특한 장르의 'SHUT DOWN'(셧다운)이다. 폭발적인 코러스와 애드립이 인상적인 댄스곡으로, 새로워진 자신을 마음껏 펼쳐보자는 CLASS:y의 의지가 표현됐다. 히트메이커 라이언 전과 라이언 전 사단이 프로듀싱했다.
