2026년 5월 8일
Billlie, who have showcased the allure of dark fantasy since their debut, left a strong impression at a showcase celebrating the release of their first full-length album. On the afternoon of the 6th, Billlie held the online-and-offline release showcase for The collective soul and unconscious: chapter two at SBS Prism Tower in Mapo-gu, Seoul. Opening with the title track ZAP, they shook the venue with a high-energy, relentless performance. The hook dance, a move that visualizes a lock, stood out over rugged beats, and their poised energy conveyed an unwavering will under external gaze, further emphasizing the dark-fantasy mood. On the energetic stage, Billlie's musical spectrum flowed into another hybrid track WORK and the Gen Z-infused track SOUPASTA, proving they can freely traverse diverse genres. In addition, the members introduced the album's tracks themselves, sharing behind-the-scenes stories of lyric writing to deepen musical immersion. A message to fully reveal their distinctive identity as a 'conceptual icon' was included in the album talk. For a special moment, confetti made by the members carried fan messages such as 'Cheon Oh-ham (let’s stay together for a long time)', 'Bilieve-haeng (may Billie be happy in Billlie’s daily life)', and 'Sajukneo (love you to death; only you)'. The showcase closed with the track B'yond me, whose expressive range and explosive vocal power left a lasting impression as the seven members poured emotion into the performance. Billlie stated in Korean, Japanese and English: 'We prepared with heartfelt effort for our long-awaited first full album. We’re happy to show a more mature Billlie. We will repay you with good music and stages in the future.' The showcase will continue with a special busking at Mangwon Hangang Park Green Path Plaza at 6:30 p.m. on the 7th, kicking off their full comeback activities. The response from Bilieve, Billlie’s global fandom, has already been enthusiastic, with fans praising the choreography and vocal quality and expressing anticipation for the dark-fantasy concept.
