TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho mentioned the appearance of aespa Karina in his short film “NEXUS”
On the afternoon of August 7th, a press conference for U-Know Yunho’s 3rd mini-album “Reality Show” was held at COEX Megabox in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. This album includes a total of 6 diverse tracks, including the title track “Vuja De”, “Wannabe”, “Tarantino”, “Relax”, “Spotlight”, and “Curtain”.
The title track “Vuja De” is the opposite of “Déjà vu”, and is a dance track based on a splendid jazz big band sound and a fast-paced swing rhythm. The lyrics convey a message of empathy for those who live fiercely every day, losing their dreams and souls in the repetitive routine. A short film called “NEXUS” is also prepared. It contains the meta-universe worldview of U-Know Yunho, along with highlight audio clips from the entire album, as well as the appearance and acting of aespa Karina.
At the press conference, U-Know Yunho explained that the short film goes beyond the boundaries of reality and the virtual world. Talking about “NEXUS”, the male idol said, “The secluded loner becomes a character who can do anything in the meta-universe world”.
Yunho then further stated, “aespa Karina made an appearance. Previously, in the music video for ‘Thank U’, Hwang Jung Min and Lee Jung Hyun appeared. This time, I wanted someone with a strong impact as well”.
“I happened to hear that Karina had a more AI-like image than AI itself, so I personally requested her appearance from the producers. She memorized a lot of lines and worked hard. She truly transformed into an AI. You will be able to see a new side of her”, he added,
Lastly, U-Know Yunho expressed his sincere thanks to aespa Karina.
Meanwhile, at 6PM (KST) on August 7th, the audio for all tracks in U-Know Yunho’s “Reality Show” have been released on various music platforms, and “NEXUS” has also been simultaneously released through the YouTube channel SMTOWN and other platforms.
