Looking Back At LABOUM’s Biggest Hit “Journey To Atlantis”: Yulhee And The Girls Were Once So Youthful And Passionate
Let’s take a look at “Fresh Adventure,” a single released on April 6, 2016 by girl group LABOUM.
“Fresh Adventure” is a single featuring LABOUM’s signature song “Journey To Atlantis,” which came back as a sensation on the Korean music charts in 2021. When the single was released, LABOUM was in its third year of debut. They made the comeback in a month and a half after 10 weeks of promoting their previous third single “AALOW AALOW.”
At the time of the comeback showcase, the members said, “After finishing our ‘AALOW AALOW’ activities, we worked on recording a new single and prepared for the comeback without a break.”
Despite being a single, the album has five tracks, including “Journey To Atlantis,” “3 Strike Out,” and “Caterpillar,” and an intro and an instrumental version of “Journey To Atlantis.”
The title track, “Journey To Atlantis,” is a refreshing dance song with the theme of “I want to get out of my boring daily life and leave for paradise in my imagination.” It is a masterpiece that combines the cheerful and colorful sound, which express the feeling of hope for Paradise with the cool vocals of the members. The song makes listeners feel excited, which is considered a factor that gave it the explosive power to climb the charts.
At the time of introducing “Fresh Adventure,” LABOUM expressed their wish, “We want to spread and promote LABOUM’s name more, and we hope ‘Journey To Atlantis’ to be in the top 100 of the chart.” Later, “Journey To Atlantis” went up to No. 1 on major music charts, so as a result, it can be said that the wish of the members became a reality.
LABOUM, which was a six-member group, became a 5-member team after Yulhee left to get married in November 2017, the year after the release of “Fresh Adventure.” In September 2021, Yoojung left the team and it transformed into a four-member group. After becoming a four-member group (with , Jinye, Haein, Solbin), they released their mini-album “Blossom” and continued their activities, but unfortunately, they are now technically disbanded because they do not have an agency.
Among them, member Haein married her non-celebrity husband last month. A video of Haein performing “Journey To Atlantis” with Soyeon, Jinye and Solbin in a wedding dress became viral online after the wedding.
