EVNNE is back with a bang, bringing their signature energy and charisma to their latest comeback, ‘HOT MESS’. Released on February 10, ‘HOT MESS’ is the group’s fourth mini-album, and with their latest release, they continue to push boundaries with their dynamic performances and bold concepts, solidifying their place in the industry.
With a name like ‘HOT MESS’ one can only assume what the album’s central genre would be. However, the six-track album features a variety of genres like Pop Rock, R&B, and Brazillian Phonk. The album consists of the title track ‘HOT MESS,’ and the B-sides ‘Birthday,’ ‘Love Like That,’ ‘CROWN,’ ‘Youth,’ and a Korean version of their previously released single ‘景色 (KESHIKI).’
“Our album ‘HOT MESS’ concept captures EVNNE’s positivity of having fun even in messy and chaotic situations, making even those situations intriguing and attractive. I think our album covers multiple genres rather than just one. We were able to express music of various genres in a fun way with our own unique colors.”

From the diverse soundscapes to the intricate choreography, every element of this comeback plays to the group’s strengths, allowing them to evolve while staying true to their identity.
“All our members are very playful and love to have fun while performing. A few of the keywords of this album are joy and dopamine, so I think this album’s concept is perfect for everyone’s characteristics and strengths.”
– JI YUNSEO
The album is also quite special as some of the group members have participated in writing the lyrics of the songs. YOO SEUNGEON shared, “This album is very memorable to me because I participated in writing the lyrics for the title song for the first time, as well as for the B-side track in the album. It’s very meaningful to know that my own story and lyrics that I wrote can be delivered to our fans, so I cannot wait to share them.”
With ‘HOT MESS’ making waves, fans are curious about what’s next for EVNNE. Talking about how they envision EVNNE’s growth in the coming years, JI YUNSEO shared, “I think we would individually have different goals and visions in the coming years, but as EVNNE, I think one common dream for our future is continuing to have fun on stage and keep making music together. For now, that would apply to our comeback that the seven of us would love to focus on. We are always eager to learn more and improve ourselves, so please look forward to our growth over the years as well.”
As EVNNE continues to rise, one thing is clear: they thrive in the chaos, and they’re only getting started. Keep an eye out for what’s next because, with EVNNE, it’s bound to be anything but ordinary.
