Alright, K-Pop stans, get ready because virtual idol group SKINS is legit about to drop their first mini-album’s pre-release single, ‘WHY U MAD’, and we’re totally not ready for the slayage!
This group is doing things differently, kicking off a whole new chapter by blending their virtual idol concept with a killer pre-release single strategy. We love to see innovators!
They gave us the tea on their promo schedule on January 22nd via official SNS, and then BOMBSHELL! On January 23rd, we were blessed with member Kwon Irang’s concept photo, and OMG, the visuals are unreal! Kwon Irang, who you might remember from Mnet’s Show Me The Money 12 (first virtual artist, iconic!), served a whole look. We’re talking all-black styling, giving off super chic vibes, and that signature silver hair? Chef’s kiss! The intense gaze in his photo has us wondering how that powerful energy connects to the ‘WHY U MAD’ concept. Pure fire!
But the visuals don’t stop there! More concept photos, both member-specific and version-specific, are dropping sequentially from January 23rd to February 1st. So prepare your feeds! Then, a ‘WHY U MAD’ music video teaser is set to drop on February 2nd, giving us a sneak peek at the vibe and performance before the official release. We’re screaming!
The full audio and MV officially drop on February 4th at 6 PM KST. And guess what? The SKINS members are planning a comeback live on the same day to spill some tea and share behind-the-scenes stories with fans. Get ready for some major interactions!
This track isn’t just a random drop; ‘WHY U MAD’ is a taste of their upcoming first mini-album, hinting at their future sound and storyline. Plus, this song already slayed on stage at the 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon, where it received a hot response! Imagine the energy on stage, now coming to our screens and playlists with even more impact!
SKINS is seriously leveling up their game, blending their virtual idol status with mini-albums, pre-release singles, broadcast stages, and intense promo schedules. We’re on countdown for what more visuals, teasers, and future album vibes they’re gonna serve next, starting with Kwon Irang! Get ready to stan!
