Young-pa held a showcase for the special album 'Cold' at Yes24 Wonder Rock Hall in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul on the 4th and told the story of the new album.
It is the first time in about eight months that Young-pa has released a new report since the third EP 'Eight That' in August last year. Young-pa, who has stitched the modifier 'Korean hip-hop daughter Na-mi' with traditional hip-hop sound-based songs, challenged hip-hop ballads with this album 'Cold' and announced the return of 'K-pop god Naughty Boy'.
Jeong Seon-hye had a desire to break the mold. Although I was afraid of making new changes, as well as the genre, I always enjoy challenges. I'm proud and excited that I can take on more challenges with this opportunity."
The reason why she challenged the new genre was that Doeun "We talked a lot about breaking the mold with the company. In this album, I challenged myself with a ballad hip-hop vibe. There is also a hip-hop genre in the track. I'd appreciate it if you liked our b-tracks as well."

Han Ji-eun "It is attractive that you can listen to the album and music video like an OST. Since we challenged a new genre, we can boast a wider musical spectrum"I was proud.
The title song 'Cold' talks about the temperature difference that makes our minds dizzy. You can meet Young-pa's musical ability to freely cross vocals and rap. Wi Yeonjeong is a song that reminds me of the nostalgic and cool night air. The sentimental melody stuck in my ears, so I was looking forward to how it would feel if we sang it. It's March, but it's still chilly, and it's snowing today. It's a song that goes well with today's weather."
In particular, 10CM, whose voice is epic, was featured. Jeong Seon-hye was so honored to be with 10CM. I couldn't imagine what song would be born, but I thought it would be difficult because it was my first time trying with a hip hop ballad. But thanks to you, I was able to complete it more perfectly. It seems that the challenge of a special feeling has shone. When I first suggested featuring, he said that he knew our songs. That gave me more strength. Thank you very much for listening to the demo and being willing to accept the offer."
Then "Unfortunately, we couldn't record together because of the out-of-schedule, but we filmed a special live video. Thankfully, he was with me until late and approached me with a smile. I wanted to give you a 10cm ruler as a gift, but I didn't have one, so I gave you an infinite one. We filmed in a pleasant atmosphere..." he said, expressing his gratitude to 10CM.
As for the musicians I want to be with in the future, Gianna said, "I've been on the same stage as Rain. We all respect him and want to do it together" he wished.

Yu Yeon-jeong narrated the music video "Cold" with various themes. Me and Doeun played the female protagonist. A brother and sister who were abandoned by their father went through various emotions and made a music video that represented their feelings", he introduced.
Doeun "I was nervous because it was my first time acting seriously. Thank you for changing it into Korean by actor Jeung Kyung-hwa, and Wi Yeon-jeong said, `I went to see the work in which the actor appeared, and it was so amazing because it felt like it came out of the work. He also lent me a hot pack, so I remembered the time of shooting, saying 'Hot' instead of 'Cold'.
Jeong Sun-hye said "I usually only filmed CG or performance-oriented music videos, but it's awkward and new to act for the first time, so we can tease each other?" I think I saw another Young-pa, so I watched it excitingly from the viewer's point of view, and Han Ji-eun said, `I was curious about how it would come out, but it was fun and interesting to see the members that I couldn't see normally.'

Since debuting in October 2023, he has been enjoying the hip-hop genre with his perfect live and performance skills, and has been receiving good responses with the modifier 'Korean hip-hop daughter Naemi'. Yu Yeon-jeong made her debut, went on tour, and held various festivals. Naturally, the chemistry between the members on stage seems to be very unique. Many people liked our style and diversity, so I think we were able to expand globally."
Yu Yeon-jeong said, "Our own differentiated strength is the challenge, as BTS J-Hope and Leceraphim joined the comeback battle in March. Various genres and feelings are included along with unique concepts. You will be able to feel various feelings together,' he said with confidence.
He also revealed the achievements he wanted to achieve with this album. Han Ji-eun "I want to win first place on a music program and show an encore performance in a fun way. As a pledge for first place, 'Cold', I want to perform while eating cold noodles', and Jeong Seon-hye said "I've been to festivals a lot, but I want to be on a bigger stage." I want to stand in big festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza and become an artist who does well" he hoped.
