Mixing Snow and Sun: A Dual Concept Comeback
K-pop rookie boy group CLOSE YOUR EYES isn’t playing by the seasonal rules. Back with their second mini album Snowy Summer, the group delivers a bold one-two punch of opposites: think snowflakes in sweat-weather. And honestly? It works.
‘Snowy Summer’ vs. ‘Paint Candy’: Opposites Attract
The album plays with duality. Title track “Snowy Summer” leans into poetic contrasts—a soft, dreamy vibe layered atop summer beats. Meanwhile, “Paint Candy” flips the script with vivid street energy, showing off a completely new side of the group. As the members say, “We want to show you a version of us you’ve never seen before.”
Fresh Look, Bolder Sound
In a recent video message to fans, the CLOSE YOUR EYES members appeared in crisp, blue-toned outfits that scream clean and cool—a visual that mirrors the album’s fresh aesthetic. Each member introduced their favorite track, offering insight into what makes this comeback special.
From bubbly bops like “Bubble Tea” to the introspective “ㅠ (You),” the group is clearly flexing their versatility. And for a rookie group, that’s no small feat.
Japan On the Calendar
Fans in Japan, get ready. CLOSE YOUR EYES is set to hold fan events on October 3–4, marking another milestone in their global growth. If the new music is any indication, they’re not slowing down anytime soon.
