The members Suil, Woobin, Steven and Youngbin from LUMINOUS talked with us about their latest album, but also wishes for the new year or tips for long traveling. This is our second time having an interview with Luminous, so we fully recommend you to also head over to our video interview we did last year.
And now let´s keep on reading!
First of all, let us wish you a great start of 2022! Are you setting up any resolutions or bucket list wishes for the new year?
Thank you! We want to wish happy New Year to all of you as well!!! Our goal for this year is to make our songs known to more people by placing on music charts.
Are there any moments from 2021 that stands out to you the most?
The most impressive thing to us in 2021 was our debut. Because our dreams came true then.
Did you learn something about yourself in the past year? What is the most important thing you learned?
Youngbin: The biggest thing I learned was to live my life to the fullest, because time cannot be turned back.
Woobin: I personally learned that we cannot live in this world on our own, so we should understand and help each other.
You started this year strong with a new album release. Can you tell us more about this album?
Yes, it is our 2nd mini album “Between Light and Darkness”. This album contains the internal confusion between the original pure self and the ego which was created by the external environment and other various factors.
What songs can fans look forward to in this new album?
We want to recommend “All eyes down”, the title song of our second album. We hope that listening to this song gives you the courage to achieve anything you want.
Did you notice any difference while preparing for this album compared to your debut one?
The biggest difference was that our debut album was the first time we introduced ourselves to the world. Starting with this album we are going to show the music spectrum of LUMINOUS. This (second) album is more addicting than the first one and its message is also more profound.
If you could pick a color (one or mix of two) to represent your new album, which would you choose and why?
Youngbin: I would choose red. Because I think our new album is intense and powerful, so it goes well with the red color.
Suil: I will pick gray. Since our album is between light and darkness I think gray, which does not belong to white nor black, goes well with it.
One of your new album songs is accompanied by a music video too. How did you enjoy the making of this MV?
Suil: When I was filming my solo scene for the music video the setting was a creepy abandoned street. And when I was filming four of our staff members came to me and asked why I called for them, but I never called them… Until this day, this is still a mystery.
Woobin: In my individual scene there was a moment where I had to break a wall with a hammer. The director said to hit it lightly because it will fall very easily. But it was a real wall, so I remember it was hard to make it fall.
You are to perform in Europe this year as well. Have you ever been to Europe before? Are you looking forward to traveling there?
No, none of us has been to Europe before. But while watching foreign dramas or movies we created a certain picture of it in our minds. We are looking forward to seeing everything, especially the beautiful streets and buildings.
Do you have tips on how to energize yourself after a hectic schedule or long travel?
When we think of the group members or all the people who work hard for our sake we get our energy back.
Any recommendations for your fans to enjoy this year to the fullest?
The most enjoyable way to spend the year is to relax while listening to all the songs on our second mini album “Between light and darkness (Self n Ego)”^^ The performance has very strong elements as well, it is like watching a musical. It is addictive and there are many points you will want to follow, so we hope you enjoy it.
