AEN, from recording 'Clockwise' to choreography practice… “We are ambitious because we want to become cool singers”

A video capturing the process of the group AEN preparing for their new song 'Clockwise' in the recording studio and choreography practice room has been released. The video contains the recording work to increase the song's perfection and the choreographer's detailed guidance process.

Pronunciation correction and vocal work in the 'Clockwise' recording studio

AEN members continued their work to bring out the feeling of the new song 'Clockwise' while conducting the recording. In the recording process shown in the video, detailed guidance that determines the atmosphere of the song can be seen. During the recording process, the feeling of the song was linked to the expression 'arrogant,' showing them focusing on creating an atmosphere that fits the character of the song rather than a too kind feeling. In particular, regarding the pronunciation of the Japanese lyrics, the members went through a process of directly checking the pronunciation to adapt. One of the members explained the process of adapting to the recording work, mentioning the difference between listening through a headset and listening on-site, as well as the difference in pronunciation.

Choreographer lessons and the members' practice process

After the recording, the choreography practice for 'Clockwise' followed. According to the video description, the choreography practice begins at the 11 minute 30 second mark. The members received guidance from the choreographer regarding the timing of movements and the strength and weakness of power. The choreographer cited TWICE's choreography timing as an example while ordering them to match the timing of the movements, or emphasized that they should bring out a cool feeling rather than a cute feeling to match the character of the song. The members also heard advice from the choreographer that "it is most important for the three of you to fit well together." Especially during the choreography practice process, the members showed respect for the choreographer and expressed their will to dance like world-class dancers.

Episodes and impressions during the practice process

Small episodes between the members also appeared during the practice process. The members played pranks on each other during practice or shared the difficulties encountered during the practice process. One member mentioned the experience of losing their mental strength due to the difficulties of the first lesson, stating that they approached the second lesson with focus. Additionally, scenes were included where they were happy to have their names called during practice or showed ambition regarding the choreography. In the final part of the video, the members who finished practice are shown encouraging each other to wrap up.
