On the 21st, MBC 'Show! With the end of 'Music Core', the first EP 'AR^C' activity was completed.
Ark is the first boy group to be introduced by Mystic Story, consisting of seven people from multiple countries, including Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and Brazil. The team name is an abbreviation of 'Always Remember the Real Connection', which puts 'Truthful Connection' as an important value. As shown, the entire album's track was inspired by a fable that anyone in the world could relate to. Through this, Arc communicated easily with global listeners and conveyed good influence through music.
The title song 'S&S (sour and sweet)(sour and sweet)(sour and sweet)(sour and sweet)(sour)' was inspired by the fable 'Fox and Grape' and delivered a message of support to move toward your dream without giving up until the end to get what you want. The song is an electric hip-hop genre that combines hyper-pop and hood pop elements, and the drum that seems to be running without hesitation and the rap line that comes in as if answering it is impressive.
As it boasts a unique composition, the performance is also colorful. In a large formation that has constantly given variations, the seven members present a delicate and elegant 'Kakgak' group dance. The point choreography 'spread dance' draws attention at once by crossing both fingers to match the chorus song. Ark showed off his unwavering singing ability despite his dynamic performance and showed off his appearance as a `diamond-type rookie.'
