Kep1er Pops Back with a Sweet Surprise
K-pop girl group Kep1er is back—and this time, they’re channeling everything hip, bubbly, and adorably chaotic. Ahead of the release of their 7th mini album ‘BUBBLE GUM’ on June 19, the 9-member group dropped their first concept photo and film, giving fans a taste of what’s to come.
Bubble Trouble: The Concept Drop
The newly released group photo shows the members—Choi Yujin, Xiaoting, Kim Chaehyun, Kim Dayeon, Hikaru, Huening Bahiyyih, and Seo Youngeun—pulling off a mix of streetwear edge and candy-colored innocence. Think puffy pigtails, oversized earrings, and bubblegum attitude. Each member is captured mid-pose, chewing gum or striking a lighthearted expression that fits the album’s playful theme.
The Concept Film: Cartoon Crazy Meets K-pop Cool
If the teaser photo was the appetizer, the concept film is a full-on sugar rush. Set to the ticking of a clock, the members appear one by one, each flaunting bold accessories—sparkling nails, braided hair, and even faux freckles. The visual effects give off serious cartoon opening credits vibes, like they just walked out of a 90s anime series.
The short clip also previewed a snippet of their new track. It’s sweet and sassy, with bubble-popping soundbites and a bassline thump that hints at yet another addictive Kep1er chorus.
Fans Already Chewing Over Comeback Hype
With retro moods, bright visuals, and a hint of mischief, Kep1er’s ‘BUBBLE GUM’ era feels like a fun departure from their previous releases. Netizens are buzzing with excitement on Twitter and fan forums, sharing screengrabs and begging for more preview content.
“This looks like it’s gonna be their quirkiest comeback yet!” one fan gushed. Another added, “Reminds me of Powerpuff Girls meets NewJeans—I’m here for it.”
Countdown to ‘BUBBLE GUM’
As we count down to June 19, Kep1er’s transformation teases a delightful mix of retro flare and fresh energy. Whether you’re a longtime Kep1ian or a curious first-time listener, this could be the sugary sonic hit your playlist didn’t know it needed.
Mark your calendars—this comeback looks like it’s ready to pop.
