Q. "STUPID" conveys empathy and comfort to those who have been hurt. Do you have your own tips for overcoming pain?

Q. The members directly participated in writing and composing the title track and the albums, which enhanced the quality of the album. What part did you focus on the most in this album?

Q. Do you have a particularly cherished song from the 10th EP "UPSIDE DOWN" and what are its highlights?
