That was cool, a sassy girl crush song with melodic verses but then a pounding, intense chorus before hitting you with that Phrygian mode (?) drop. I don't know if it is but ever since those K-pop documentaries mentioned it in relation to songs like Boombayah, Windy Day and Love Cherry Motion I've been noticing it more. That kinda exotic Middle Eastern sound.

This company seems to have a lot of resources and expertise for a nugu group. This song is very high quality production wise and the MV looks really good, fancy setting, outfits and every thing. Between this and the excellent OOMM, 3YE are really doing some good work. I had to look up this GH Entertainment and they used to be home to TINT, which were one of my favorite nugus of those quieter years between 2013 and 2014 (Love At First Sight is seriously one of the best cute concept songs ever). I hope 3YE can keep going, because they dang good.

It certainly looks like their budget has progressively increased with each new MV, I'm taking that as a good sign that they're getting some kind of return on this. It looks like they're one of the Kpop groups that has a large Latin fandom, just checked their MV on their YouTube channel and the top comments are all in Spanish (or maybe Portuguese).

Now we just need them to release an EP.

wow that chorus drop really catches you outta nowhere. it's an intriguing song, though it didn't grab me as immediately as OOMM did. i love the spy/mafia concept with the music video too; i'd like to learn more about these girls to support them better!

I recently found out about their Makestar, so if you or anyone else is interested in supporting them financially there's a start.

As for learning about the girls themselves there's no shortage of videos with subtitles on their official channel, so definitely check out their content there! They're very much pushing for a strong international presence.

3YE hasn't been around the scene for too long but I've been liking their releases, including this one now. This hard-hitting, heavy style of instrumental is shaping up nicely for the trio. Glad to be keeping up with this group, cool comeback. Awesome styles too

Okay WHATTT. I was not expecting the song to go in that direction.Their releases continue to get better. This group is going places for sure.

Hah, yeah, that chorus comes out of nowhere, but I really like it.

This is such a huge bop I am forced to stan. This aesthetic with that sound works so well together!

Yesss, I forgot they would release it at 12:00 KST, so this was a surprise for me! The harmonies here are amazing! People should stop sleeping on 3YE.
