THE BOYZ performed an online presentation on November 1 to promote the release of their third single album, "MAVERICK."
"MAVERICK" was published almost three months after THE BOYZ made their last public appearance in August with the release of their sixth mini album, "THRILL-ING." "I still get worried, even though we've done multiple comebacks previously," Q added. But because I'm afraid, I'll work extra harder."
"We had bigger expectations because we came back with a completely new idea from our last album," New explained. "We returned pretty quickly after 'THRILL RIDE,' but we worked hard to prepare without any blank places," Sangyeon added, "so please look forward to it."
"We had the choice between the title tunes 'THRILL RIDE' and 'MAVERICK' when we appeared on 'Kingdom: Legendary War,'" Eric explained. We knew we were going to perform 'MAVERICK' at some time in the future even before we advertised 'THRILL RIDE.' It's our first time making such a quick comeback since our debut, but we wanted to exhibit more various aspects to our fans, The B, who had been waiting for us."
"There were no challenges throughout the preparation stage," Eric stated when asked if it was tough to prepare for such a quick comeback. Apart from the difficult choreography, there was nothing else. We prepared with eager hearts since the B is constantly cheering us on and supporting us." "We had built up a lot of stamina completing 'Road to Kingdom' and 'Kingdom,' so it wasn't too difficult for us," Sunwoo continued.
"It's a more forceful and cooler picture," Q stated of what sets this record distinct. We were able to display a more strong part of ourselves that we hadn't before displayed." "THE BOYZ have a 'boyish' image, but with our return, we wanted to underline that 'boys' can offer a performance that has no bounds," Sunwoo remarked. If our earlier conceptions had been exhilarating or showy, this time we infused the performance with THE BOYZ's confidence and existence."
"The music video is very much like a movie or a drama," Juyeon stated. I'm hoping that people will notice the participants' acting abilities and commitment to their jobs." “Personally, I think that Q performed pretty well when it came to his sobbing scene,” he stated when asked which member best embodied the theme.
With "THRILL-ING," THE BOYZ sold half a million copies in the first week of its release. “With every album, we try hard to offer various concepts,” Q stated when asked about the secret to their success. We're continually striving to improve in areas where we fall short." “I believe our ultimate team color stems from the diversity of our members,” New stated. Everyone in the group is cool and has their own personality. We can discuss a wide range of topics." "If I talk about 'team color,' it sounds like we're tying ourselves down to a single notion," Ju Haknyeon stated. I believe we have no boundaries and are capable of doing both adorable and refreshing things as well as cool and strong things."
“To be honest, all of the songs on ‘THRILL-ING' landing on the charts was incredibly hard to believe, and we were really thankful to The B,” Sangyeon stated of their future objectives. Our main objective is to please those who have been waiting for these promotions, as well as to deliver a performance worthy of THE BOYZ at the end-of-year awards."
It's worth noting that this will be The Boyz' final appearance under Cre.ker Entertainment, as Cre.ker and Play M Entertainment are set to merge at the end of the year, remaining under Kakao Entertainment.
