It's like iKON stepped into a time machine and came back with a neon-soaked 80s masterpiece.

A shimmering, neon-lit nostalgia that balances upbeat retro-pop with a quiet, persistent longing.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden explosion of 80s synth-pop energy in the opening of BUT YOU, a complete departure from their usual hip-hop sound.
The heavy, distorted bass drop in DRAGON that briefly recalls their aggressive hip-hop roots before dissolving back into the EP's polished sheen.
The stripped-back, emotional vocal delivery in NAME that closes the record with a sense of quiet, cinematic finality.
