Kep1er Drops Their Most Vibrant Comeback Yet
On July 19 at 6 PM KST, K-pop girl group Kep1er—consisting of members Choi Yujin, Xiaoting, Kim Chaehyun, Kim Dayeon, Hikaru, Huening Bahiyyih, and Seo Youngeun—officially dropped their 7th mini album ‘BUBBLE GUM’. Along with the EP’s release across major streaming platforms, the full music video was uploaded on their official YouTube channel, setting global fandoms ablaze with excitement.
‘BUBBLE GUM’ Bursts With Flavor – and Sass
This new album marks Kep1er’s first release in roughly nine months since their previous mini album, ‘TIPI-TAP’. The five-track EP includes the title track ‘BUBBLE GUM’ and other playful cuts like ‘Taste Better,’ ‘Don’t Be Dumb,’ ‘Ice Tea,’ and ‘Yum (KOR ver.)’. If this lineup sounds like a snack aisle, it’s by design—because Kep1er’s sound is addictive in all the best ways.
‘BUBBLE GUM’ isn’t just bubble pop; it’s EDM-fueled house with teeth. Its lyrics playfully snub haters with lines like “I’ll swallow everything in one bite,” mixing sweet rebellion with sugar-rush confidence. Layer that with the group’s dynamic vocal range and beat-driven production, and you’ve got a track that isn’t afraid to chew up expectations—and spit out something entirely new.
A Music Video Straight Out of a Teen Action Flick
The official MV adds another level of pop-culture punch. It opens with the girls grabbing gear from the trunk of a car like they’re planning a mission—not world domination, but something close. From there, it’s a rollercoaster of chaotic fun: rebellious antics, bold colors, and girl crush charisma that never lets up.
The choreography? Flawless. The styling? Bubblegum punk. The visuals? So packed with charm and swagger, it feels like a fashion editorial meets a K-drama montage. The entire video delivers on the group’s upgraded look, energetic performances, and non-stop attitude, leaving zero room for boredom.
Fans Say It Loud: “This Is Kep1er’s Era”
Fans wasted no time flooding the comments section once the MV dropped. Reactions ranged from “We’ve been waiting for this Kep1er!” to “Every single frame is a masterpiece,” and some even declared, “Kep1er’s time has finally come!”
And BTS (not the band—literally behind-the-scenes), the group has more in store. They’ve kicked off official music show promotions and are running a special pop-up store event through July 24, where fans can shop for merch and check out exclusive surprises.
What’s Next for Kep1er?
With a punchy EP and a bold new aesthetic, Kep1er is firing on all cylinders. They’ve ditched predictability and gone full power—and fans are loving every beat of it. Whether you’re here for the fierce lyrics or the flashy visuals, one thing’s clear: Kep1er’s bubble isn’t bursting anytime soon.
