Identity (idntt) held a media showcase on the afternoon of the 5th at Bluesquare SOL Travel Hall in Yongsan, Seoul, to celebrate the release of their new album yesweare. The event marked the first public performance of a 15-member large-scale crew, featuring the first unit unevermet and the newly joined unit yesweare.

In addition to the title track, it includes BOYS with a strong electronic sound, Yes We Are, Rage Problem based on electronic dance music, and Moon Burn in a jackin’ House style.
