Musical Evolution

The narrative continues through their evolution, spotlighting bold musical risks such as “SIGNAL” and the mature, sleeker sound introduced with “FANCY” in 2019. The video emphasizes their ability to balance bright, bubbly concepts with deeper, vulnerable themes, as seen in “Feel Special,” which resonated with fans through its honest portrayal of anxiety and burnout.

Global Expansion

Their global breakthrough is marked by English singles like “The Feels” and “Moonlight Sunrise,” and historic sold-out stadium tours in the US, including SoFi and MetLife Stadiums, arenas usually reserved for the biggest global acts.

Group Unity and Longevity

The video also celebrates the group’s remarkable unity, noting how all nine members renewed their contracts past the “seven-year curse,” a rare feat in K-pop. It showcases their individual growth through solo projects and subunits like MISAMO, which thrive without fracturing the group’s collective strength.
