The studio was a mess of laughter and sibling rivalry within minutes. I watched Juhoon and Martin—the '08 duo who might as well be twins with the way they finish each other's sentences—locking horns over something trivial, their energy acting as the heartbeat of the room. Close by, Seonghyeon and Keonho, were huddled together, probably plotting their next move or quietly observing the madness of their older brothers. For James, the one who supposed to keep them in check, also followed them and more energetic than them. It’s a rare sight to see us all this unguarded; away from the stage outfits and the heavy makeup of our comeback, we’re just five brothers reclaiming our playground.

As the night deepened and the city lights shimmered through the towering glass panes of the studio, the atmosphere shifted from playful chaos to a quiet, shared understanding. We’ve faced the pressure of this comeback together, leaning on each other when the expectations felt too heavy. Martin leading the way, Juhoon and James providing the rhythm, and Seonghyeon and Keonho bringing that fresh, unstoppable spirit—we are a complete unit. This comeback isn't just a professional milestone; it’s a testament to the Stahlbaum bloodline. We’ve returned to the scene stronger, louder, and more inseparable than ever.
