Listening Party: CLOSE YOUR EYES 'ETERNALT' EP

Oh... DAMN... K-Pop hasn't sounded this smooth and intimate in... damn, I don't know how long.

Need you to do a reaction to their In The Woods performance video if you haven’t already!! :)

also wanna add: eternalt is such an immersive experience. close your eyes is such a good intro, really is such a good opening and made me actually close my eyes lol. and every single song felt like a journey to the summery, call me by your name aesthetic and vibes, going through the motions of the album. genuinely this was such a good album, i'm gonna say this is one of the best 2025 releases so far.

agree with you pd 100%. this is one of the most interesting kpop releases to me among 5th gen, and i genuinely don't know how they're going to top this. i stanned them since project 7, and i admit that i did not expect their debut to be THIS GOOD. the mv, the artistic direction, the simple yet effective album art...this is aoty to me rn lol. their creative director is lee hae in, who worked on kiss of life before! lee hae in is definitely one of the best creative directors recently and i'm glad she chose that direction instead of staying as an idol. i'm super excited for this group and seeing their group's direction!!!

you NEED to watch their performance vid for to the woods! it’s insane!

They have a debut documentary coming out soon too :)

I think the general vocal direction and cohesion is just a testament to the members and how hard they worked (as well as their producers). An interview with Lee Haein and ADORA recently came out and they briefly talked about the “Who’s gonna sing?” narrative surrounding the members after the finale of P7, so they really worked hard to prove everyone wrong with AMP and the debut. I’m so glad they left such a beautiful impression on you! I know I’ve expressed this enough, but I’m just so enthused by this group and I’m really excited for them. They’re the only group under their company (UNCORE, I’m not sure how much involvement JTBC has with them) so they’re really able to invest so much into them and give them such a high quality and high production debut. Upside Down and To The Woods are their promoted b side tracks which have a couple live performances and performance videos on their youtube channel. Lee Haein and ADORA also mentioned that How To Dance was a candidate for their title track, but someone said it reminds them of Rock With You by SVT so they picked AMP instead because they wanted their debut to only remind you of CYE.

This album debut it’s totally my taste. I really like it. In fact I watch the survival show after listening to this album, that’s how much it fits my taste

i watched their fillin' live only because one or eight's had previously played on my youtube but it really made me appreciate the songs and their vocals so much more, they did really well

진짜 클유아.. 프로젝트7은 안봤지만 노래가 너무 좋아서 팬 됐어요ㅜ 앨범 발매 전에 하이라이트 멜로디 대신해서 노래 한곡당 멤버 한명씩 보여주는 비주얼 필름 느낌의 트레일러를 따로 찍어서 올렸는데, 영상에 노래 분위기를 너무 잘 담아서 좋더라고요! (Close your eyes 노래 트레일러는 멤버 전체 출연) 그냥 피디님 혼자 한번씩 보시면 앨범에 몰입이 더 잘 돼서 좋을 것 같아요. https://youtu.be/o4Acsg5QubM?si=rM6qJkPG2HGarxzG , https://youtu.be/L35U5pVsWEY?si=pnCYBYfmi1InV4Zh

cherish you

Oooo I haven’t heard of this group thanks for the heads up

This is a very interesting group with a very interesting sound that i'm curious about how they will develop overtime. This album is very relaxing and perfect for the upcoming summer. I'm wondering if you know that all of the Jellyfish boys from Boys Planet have debuted in groups right now. As you know Gunwook debuted in ZB1, Yeojun debuted in Close Your Eyes, Hyunbeen debuted in ARrC and Yuseop debuted in NouerA. I was wondering if you would be interested in checking out NouerA's "New Is Now" since you checked out all of the other groups and liked them. To give you a bit of context, it is a James Bond/cinematic type of song.

the way you highlighted their vocal and how good it is make me very proud as a predebut stans tbh. a little bit throwback, when the lineup was announced, so many people actually was hating and making fun of it. Cuz from the survival show, so many 'main vocalists' trainees don't make it to the lineup. They're saying "who's gonna sing in this group" etc. but once they debut, they prove those people that they're wrong and so many praises (incl you) about how good they are as vocalists :") anyway, i'm agreeing with you on how cohesive and good the direction of this album. We CLOSERs (CLOSE YOUR EYES fandom name) really thankful for Lee Haein (the former creative director of KISS OF LIFE) as their executive director for this amazing debut album.

this is such an unbelievable debut, specially coming from a survival show imo. i fell in love with them with the to the woods performance video U SHOULD TOTALLY WATCH IT! and i didnt watch project 7 but im so grateful for bringing this group together, like just with this first mini album, their connection and synergy as a group is insane it honestly feels like fate and im so SAT for their following releases, although im also kinda scared to see if they can keep this level of greatness

Donatella

You GOTTA watch their it’s live now, it’s AMAZING

Brandon Brusseau

Oh thank goodness you remembered to look at the Korean titles! I really wanted to hear your analysis of the meanings
