Description (Translated):

'RUN2U', STAYC's unrivaled teen freshness returns without a chance to breathe!

The 2nd Mini Album 'YOUNG-LUV.COM', STAYC's new album that the world is paying attention to, is released
STAYC, which has established itself as a '4th generation representative idol group' with successive hits of 'ASAP' and 'Color Glasses', started winning the 2021 Brand Customer Loyalty Award in the Rookie Female Idol category last year, followed by the 2021 Melon Music Awards and the 36th Golden Disc Awards. They won 10 awards at prestigious awards ceremonies in Korea and were recognized as a '4th generation idol group' in name and reality. In addition, it has been recognized not only in Korea but also abroad, and was the only Korean artist to be listed in the '5 Artists to Watch in 2022' jointly selected by the global music platform Apple Music and the music discovery app Shazam.

In this way, STAYC, who received a lot of love by showing addictive songs and performances with 'ASAP' and 'Color Glasses', returned to us with a reckless figure in love. The title song 'RUN2U' is a song that expresses STAYC's unique feeling of running towards you without fear if it's for love, no matter what others say. As can be seen in the lyrics, "It doesn't matter, you can think as you please, because I love you because I can't stop you," it is characterized by expressing my full emotions in an energetic and confident manner without caring about others' eyes.

For this album, the best writers of all time came together for STAYC. Starting with Black Eyed Pilseung, the representative producer of High Up, a new team of writers such as hitmaker Jeon Goon, BXN, and rookie producers FLYT and will.b were put on the credits. Including the title song 'RUN2U', the 2nd mini album 'YOUNG-LUV.COM' consists of a total of 6 tracks and contains a wide variety of music. With attention focused on how 'TEENFRESH', a unique genre created by STAYC, will expand in the future, we look forward to seeing the new STAYC in 2022.

Description (Original):

숨 쉴 틈 없이 휘몰아치는 'RUN2U', STAYC(스테이씨)만의 독보적 틴프레시의 귀환!

전 세계가 주목하는 STAYC의 새 앨범, The 2nd Mini Album 'YOUNG-LUV.COM' 전격 발매
'ASAP'과 '색안경'을 연이어 히트시키며 '4세대 대표 아이돌 그룹'으로 자리매김한 STAYC는 지난 해 2021 브랜드 고객충성도 대상 신인 여자 아이돌 부문 수상을 시작으로 2021 멜론 뮤직 어워드, 제36회 골든디스크 어워즈 등 국내 유수 시상식에서 10관왕 수상을 하며 명실상부 '4세대 아이돌 그룹'으로 인정받았다. 또한 국내뿐만 아니라 해외에서도 많은 인정을 받고 있으며 글로벌 음악 플랫폼 애플뮤직과 뮤직 디스커버리 앱 샤잠이 함께 선정한 '2022년 주목해야 할 5팀의 아티스트'에 한국 아티스트로는 유일하게 이름을 올리기도 하였다.

이렇게 'ASAP'과 '색안경'으로 중독성 강한 노래와 퍼포먼스를 선보이며 많은 사랑을 받은 STAYC가 사랑에 빠진 저돌적인 모습으로 우리 곁에 돌아왔다. 타이틀곡 'RUN2U'는 남들이 뭐래도 사랑을 위해서라면 두려움 없이 너를 향해 달려가겠다는 마음을 STAYC만의 느낌으로 거침없이 표현한 곡이다. '상관없어 멋대로 생각해도 돼 막지 못해 널 사랑하기 때문에'라는 가사에서도 알 수 있듯이 남의 시선은 상관하지 않은 채 나의 온전한 감정을 에너지 넘치고 당당한 모습으로 표현한 점이 특징이다.

이번 앨범도 STAYC를 위해 역대급 작가진이 뭉쳤다. 하이업 대표 프로듀서인 블랙아이드필승을 필두로 히트메이커 전군, BXN 그리고 신예 프로듀서 FLYT, will.b 등 새로운 작가진들이 크레딧에 이름을 올렸다. 타이틀곡인 'RUN2U'를 포함하여 이번 미니2집 'YOUNG-LUV.COM'은 총 6트랙으로 이루어져 있으며 폭넓고 다양한 음악을 담고 있다. STAYC가 탄생시킨 독보적 장르인 '틴프레시(TEENFRESH)'가 앞으로 어떻게 확장될지 귀추가 주목된 가운데 2022년의 새로운 STAYC의 모습을 기대해 본다.

몽환적인 피아노 루프와
그루비한 비트로 귀를 감아오는 'BUTTERFLY'는

마치 꿈속을 떠다니는 듯한 느낌을 주는 곡이다.
