Description (Translated):
Part2 of the MONSTA X The clan 2.5 series < GUILTY >'Among the cheering people, all I need is you. My goddess, bring me victory...' The title song 'Fighter' is a 'hope song' for frustrated and hurt boys. It revealed the 'courage' to do anything for precious things, the 'attitude' to have nothing to lose, and the 'will' to fight as one to protect them. It is a story of reversal that depicts the desire to change the world a little more, the story of youth, and the end of youth that is completed through pain. MONSTA X's 4th mini-album 'THE CLAN 2.5 Part.2 GUILTY' depicts a paradoxical story about boys who grew up experiencing pain such as poverty, loneliness, disability, inferiority, and violence, and regain their innocence within them.
This album, the follow-up to the previous work 'Lost', more clearly unfolds MONSTA X's unique worldview. For this, all detailed production was mobilized. Music videos, artworks, and teasers that visually express the drama's theme and music were gathered under the theme of 'Wounded boys looking for hope'. MONSTA X's growth period, which is still full of youthful spirit.
The music, like 'Lost', is full of dynamic feelings. The aggressive track pioneered by MONSTA X takes center stage, and it is composed so that the multi-cultural charm stands out, such as expressing various emotions of love and separation in various ways. Experimental attempts by combining disparate genres such as hip-hop, EDM, and band sound are also impressive, and by combining hip-hop and EDM, the auditory fun and excitement are highlighted to the maximum. The tracks containing the fearless cries of young people who have not found an outlet deliver a strong impression.
The title song 'Fighter' is MONSTA X's signature song, composed by composers Park Geun-tae and Martin Hoberg Hedegaard. It is a blockbuster track with an intense and rough sound that goes well with the message of protecting love. In particular, this song's unique strength is its dynamic development, where the grand energy of the overwhelming melody and direct lyrics intersect without rest. It is enough to convey the exploding youth of the members.
Sincere and powerful music finally gets an exclamation mark through the music video. Following 'Walking', which replaced the sense of loss in 'Boys with a Story' with hope, this time, hope was expressed in more detail. MONSTA X, who built a virtual world whose era is ambiguous in the video, philosophically unraveled the message X-Clan wanted to say by comparing colors, items, and space. The story expands to the content that the children who were not scared confront the world and rather keep their innocence.
The results revealed through music, video, fashion, and artwork reveal the world of MONSTA X as it is. There are devices that arouse curiosity here and there to help people find answers in contradictory situations. This is the 4th story of MONSTA X that expands infinitely.
Description (Original):
몬스타엑스 The clan 2.5 시리즈의 Part2 < GUILTY >'환호하는 사람들 중 난 너만 있으면 돼. 나의 여신이여, 승리를 가져다 줘..' 타이틀곡 '파이터'(Fighter)는 좌절하고 상처입은 소년들의 '희망가'다. 소중한 것들을 위해 기꺼이 무엇이든 하겠다는 '용기'와 더 이상 잃을 게 없다는 '자세', 그것들을 지켜내기 위해선 하나가 되어 싸우겠다는 '의지'를 드러냈다. 세상을 조금 더 새롭게 바꾸고 싶은 열망과 청춘의 이야기, 결국 아픔을 통해 완성되는 젊음의 단면을 그려낸 역전의 이야기다. 몬스타엑스의 4번째 미니앨범 'THE CLAN 2.5 Part.2 GUILTY'는 가난과 외로움, 장애와 열등감, 폭력 등 아픔을 겪으며 성장한 소년들이 그 안에서 순수함을 되찾는다는 역설적인 얘기를 그렸다.
전작 '로스트'(Lost)의 후속작인 이번 앨범은 보다 확연하게 몬스타엑스만의 세계관을 펼쳐낸다. 이를 위해 세밀한 프로덕션이 모두 동원됐다. 드라마 테마와 음악을 시각적으로 표현한 뮤직비디오, 아트워크, 티저는 오로지 '상처입은 소년들이 희망을 찾아간다'는 주제로 모아졌다. 여전히 패기 넘치는 젊음으로 가득한 몬스타엑스의 성장기다.
음악은 '로스트'와 마찬가지로 역동적인 느낌으로 가득하다. 몬스타엑스가 개척한 공격적인 트랙이 중심을 잡고, 사랑과 이별의 여러 감정을 다양한 방식으로 풀어내는 등 멀티 컬쳐적인 매력이 돋보이게끔 구성했다. 힙합, EDM, 밴드사운드 등 이질적인 장르 결합을 통한 실험적인 시도도 인상적이며, 힙합과 EDM을 결합해 청각적인 재미와 흥분을 최대한 부각시켰다. 마치 분출구를 찾지 못한 청춘들의 겁없는 외침을 담은 트랙들이 강렬한 인상을 전달한다.
타이틀곡 '파이터'는 작곡가 박근태, Martin Hoberg Hedegaard가 만든 몬스타엑스의 시그니처 곡으로, 강렬하고 거친 사운드가 사랑을 지켜내겠다는 메시지와 잘 어우러진 블록버스터급 트랙이다. 특히 웅장한 기운이 압도적인 멜로디와 직설적인 노랫말이 쉴 틈없이 교차되는 등 역동적인 전개는 이 곡만의 강점이다. 멤버들의 폭발하는 젊음을 전달하기에 충분하다.
진솔하고도 강력한 음악은 비로소 뮤직비디오를 통해 느낌표를 찍는다. '사연있는 소년들'의 상실감을 희망으로 대체한 '걸어'에 이어 이번엔 보다 구체적으로 희망을 표현했다. 영상 속 시대성이 모호한 가상의 세계를 건설했던 몬스타엑스는 색감과 아이템, 공간에 빗대어 엑스클랜이 말하고자 하는 메시지를 철학적으로 풀어냈다. 무서울 것 없던 아이들이 세상과 맞서며 오히려 저마다의 순수함을 지켜간다는 내용으로 스토리가 확장되는 식이다.
음악과 영상, 패션, 아트워크를 통해 드러난 결과물은 몬스타엑스의 세계를 그대로 드러낸다. 곳곳에 궁금증을 유발하는 장치를 두어 모순적인 상황에서 해답을 찾게끔 했다. 무한 확장되는 몬스타엑스의 4번째 이야기다.
