[EXCLUSIVE] BLANK2Y Dishes on Comeback 'K2Y II: PASSION [FUEGO]' & More HERE!
K2YWE, are you excited?! Keystone Entertainment's nine-member boy group, BLANK2Y, made their much-anticipated comeback on August 24 with their mini-album "K2Y II: PASSION [FUEGO]." To celebrate their comeback, KpopStarz sat down with the boys for an exclusive interview.
The boys dished out their most memorable experience preparing for the mini-album, their message to fans, and more! Please note that this interview has both English and Korean responses!
1. What has been the most memorable experience for you while preparing for your 2nd mini-album “K2Y II : PASSION [FUEGO]”? Can you tell us or give us a hint about your favorite track from the album? ì´ë²ì¨ë²ìì¤ë¹íë©°ê°ì¥ê¸°ìµìë¨ëìê°ì´ìë¤ë©´ë¬´ìì´ìëì? ëì´ë²ì¨ë²ììê°ìê°ì¥ì¢ìíë곡ìê¼½ì면무ìì´ë©°, ì´ì ë무ìì¸ê°ì?
DONGHYUK: My favorite track was ‘I Wish.’ I was glad to present another fan song to K2YWEs, and its lyrics are as touching as the lyrics in ‘Constellation,’ so I really like it!

SODAM: For me, my favorite is ‘FUEGO (Burn It Up).’ Not only is it our title track, but also its choreography and melody are strong and powerful, so I think it truly represents our own passion.

2. [To all members] “K2Y II : PASSION [FUEGO]” has unveiled two versions of group & individual concept photos so far: red and white. But which of the two is closer to your personal style?

DONGHYUK: Red. I usually have a cuter image, but it was interesting to try a concept that is completely different from my personal image.

SUNGJUN: I think the red concept suits us better because it goes well with FUEGO, which means fire. In addition, I think red is the color that can define BLANK2Y’s passion!

3. [For Louis and Sodam] For this comeback, you’re sporting yellow and teal hair colors. Do you and the rest of the members also plan to try out other shades? What colors would they be? [루ì´ë, ìë´ëê»ì§ë¬¸ë립ëë¤] ì´ë²ì»´ë°±ììí´ê°ê°ë ¸ëì과민í¸ìì¼ë¡ë¨¸ë¦¬ë¥¼ë¬¼ë¤ì´ì ¨ëë°, ë¤ë¥¸ìì¼ë¡ì¼ìíê³ ì¶ìë§ìëìëì? ë¤ë¥¸ë©¤ë²ë¤ìì? ë¤ìì¼ììì´ë¤ìì¼ë¡íê³ ì¶ëì?
LOUIS: I’ve been coloring my hair since the first album, so I’d like to try brown or black hair, something in a darker shade!

4. As K2YWEs have been constantly asking online (making their own designs, conducting polls, etc.), any chance an official BLANK2Y lightstick is on its way? ë§ìí¤ìë¤ì´í¬íìëìì¸í ë¡ ë±ì¬ë¬ë¶ìê³µìììë´ìëí´ë¤ìíì견ìë´ê³ ìì´ì. ì¸ì 쯤ë¸ëí¤ìê³µìììë´ìë³¼ìììê¹ì?
