UNIS Channels Gen Z Charm in Colorful Comeback
K-pop girl group UNIS is back in the spotlight with their second mini-album ‘SWICY’, released on January 15 at 6 p.m. KST. This marks their first comeback of 2025 and a bold start to the new year.
The group—composed of members Jin Hyeonju, Nana, JellyDanka, Kotoko, Bang Yunha, Elisia, Oh Yoona, and Lim Seowon—has been gaining traction with their vivid aesthetic and fresh take on Gen Z culture. Their new title track, also titled ‘SWICY’, blends the words ‘sweet’ and ‘spicy’, teasing a concept that reflects the trendy flavor fusion loved by younger audiences across the globe.
From ‘CURIOUS’ to ‘SWICY’: A Sweeter, Spicier UNIS
Following their debut single album ‘CURIOUS’ in August 2024, ‘SWICY’ presents an upgraded version of the group. With upbeat melodies and youthful energy, the album perfectly captures the playful confidence of Gen Z fans. The five-track lineup includes the title song ‘SWICY’, along with ‘From a Seed Called “What Are You Doing?”’, ‘DDANG!’, ‘Good Feeling’, and ‘Spring Rain’.
Each track showcases a different flavor of the group’s “sweet and spicy” appeal, embracing musical variety while tapping into relatable emotions and youthful vibes.
Expressing Gen Z with Style and Melody
UNIS has previously explored a wide range of concepts, from the kitsch glam of ‘SUPERWOMAN’ to the bold self-assurance in ‘You’re the Only One Who Doesn’t Know’. With ‘SWICY’, the group takes a more natural approach, reflecting the effortless charm of their age group. A bright and school-inspired visual concept ties the look together with breezy melodies and spirited choreography.
The newest comeback aims to connect with fans through relatability and lighthearted fun—like a bubble tea with just the right mix of syrup and spice. Their styling and stage presence highlight their youth while aligning with international trends in both fashion and music.
Celebrating the Comeback with Fans
To mark the release, UNIS will also hold a fan showcase on January 15 at 8 p.m. KST, unveiling their new stage performance for the very first time. Fans can expect a showcase filled with live energy, behind-the-scenes stories, and interactions that underline UNIS’s close connection with their audience.
As the group starts 2025 strong, all eyes are on how this sweet-meets-spicy concept will continue to evolve.
