Regarding the title track 'CHOOM', Yang said, "It feels Eastern, as if a person is spreading their arms and dancing," and announced a second world tour covering South America and Europe starting in June. TREASURE, which will release a mini album in June, will challenge the hip-hop genre at the request of its members and plans to open the second act of their activities with 'YG-style' music that they have not shown before.

◆Commitment to the 30th anniversary and outline of new group launch plans

Yang Hyun-suk, reflecting on the 30th anniversary this year, promised, "I will continue to create music diligently without losing my original intention until the 40th and 50th anniversaries."
