Previously, with the album announcement, the group shared two sets of individual photos. One featured the members in black leather outfits with grungy accessories against an orange backdrop. The other showed them in beige outfits inside a dimly lit room with a single ray of light. The contrasting visuals highlight both the bold and vulnerable sides of the members.
With the new concept photos, the group continues to explore their duality. While the W version reflects a more languid mood, the concept photos set to release on May 8 and 9 are expected to reveal a sharper, bolder side.
Pre-orders for the album began on April 22 at 3 PM KST (11:30 AM IST) and will remain open until May 20 at 11:59 PM KST (8:29 PM IST). Two versions of the album, the ‘Photobook platform‘ version as well as the ‘Platform‘ version, are now open. Detailed information about the albums can be found at X:IN’s B. Stage community.
‘Defend Myself’ marks X:IN’s first mini-album in over a year, following February 2024’s ‘The Real’. It is also their first release under their new agency, BeBy Entertainment. The five-member group—consisting of E.Sha, Nizz, Nova, Hannah, and Aria—most recently made a comeback with the digital single ‘ACHA (%)’ in December 2024.
‘Defend Myself’ is set to drop on May 17 at 6:00 PM KST (2:30 PM IST).
