In a whirlwind return, K-pop powerhouse TEMPEST has unveiled their fifth single, "Into the Tempest," just five months after their previous release. Comprising Hanbin, Hyungseob, Hyuk, Eunchan, LEW, Hwarang, and Taerae, this seven-member ensemble has been on a relentless creative streak since their debut last year.

Speaking at a press event held at Roun Art Hall in Yangcheon District, western Seoul, on the day of their comeback, TEMPEST's leader, LEW, emphasized the group's eagerness to continuously connect with their fans through a consistent stream of releases. "We aim to return frequently to showcase our group's significance and connect with our fans through various concepts and songs," LEW stated.

Their latest release emphasizes the group's unwavering drive, vividly portrayed in the title track "Vroom Vroom," symbolizing an unstoppable speeding car hurtling towards their goals. The choreography for this high-energy track was skillfully crafted by dance crew We Dem Boyz, recognized for their participation in Mnet's 2022 reality competition show "Street Man Fighter."

Members Hwarang and Hanbin took center stage during the press event, showcasing the captivating "racing dance" movements, a highlight of the choreography. Additionally, the album features tracks like "DIVE" and "Bluetooth," each demonstrating TEMPEST's versatility, with Hwarang and LEW contributing to the lyrics.

TEMPEST's heartfelt dedication to their fans shines through in the song "Bluetooth," symbolizing a profound connection with their audience, even across physical distances. "Even when physically apart, we wish to stay tuned with our fans by fostering empathy and offering comfort through this track," shared LEW, underscoring the song's significance.

With captivating performances and multi-faceted talents, TEMPEST is passionately driven to showcase their abilities and connect with fans on a deeper level. Member Hyungseob emphasized, "Each album we create is infused with our own life stories, the joys and sorrows of youth, aiming to express our collective aspirations while engaging with our fans."

Looking beyond Korean borders, TEMPEST harbors ambitions to make a global mark, aspiring to perform for diverse international fans. Hanbin expressed a desire to perform in his native Vietnam, while Hyungseob outlined the group's vision of delivering diverse performances in various global locations, showcasing their expanding global presence.
