New five-member group AND2BLE (pronounced “And-Double”) has debuted with their first EP, Sequence 01: Curiosity, aiming to bring back the sound of third-generation K-pop. None of the members are newcomers—Zhang Hao, Ricky, Kim Gyuvin, and Han Yujin previously performed with ZEROBASEONE, and Yoo Seungeon was a member of EVNNE. After their project contracts ended, the five regrouped under YH Entertainment.
Looking back is also moving forward. The five-track EP runs about 14 minutes in total and revives a boy-group formula that emphasizes vocal clarity and emotional depth—vocals are the main investment here, with members’ tones layered from crisp high notes to steady mid-range. The lead single “Curious” blends synth-pop and future house for a driving feel, with thick bass and a choral chorus that unapologetically leans into “old-school” K-pop. Hao and Ricky participated in writing the lyrics. Critics note that the EP is not about nostalgia but about independence—a nearly radical choice to return to vocals and storytelling.
