Introducing PATTERN: The New Rookie Boy Group You Should Stan

Get to know more about the talented rookie boy group PATTERN in this exclusive interview.


Stepping onto the K-Pop stage with their debut single "Malibu" on October 17, 2022, PATTERN, the five-member up-and-coming boy group under KPLUS Entertainment, immediately sparked intrigue. Comprising the well-rounded talents of Jinu, JJ, Koon, Kyo, and Haemin, PATTERN not only boasts musical prowess but also an undeniable visual appeal.



With each release, PATTERN consistently delivers a compelling mix of vocal and rap skills, coupled with a unique sound that never fails to impress. Their latest offering, "OVERDRIVE," showcases yet another facet of their artistry, solidifying their position as an underrated gem in the K-Pop landscape. It's no surprise that their dedicated fanbase (known as PAIRING) has been steadily growing; with every release, PATTERN offers not only addictive tracks but also refreshingly innovative music.


Moreover, beyond their captivating music, PATTERN has been making waves in Japan with their regular performances, further expanding their reach and enchanting audiences across borders.



In the wake of their digital single "OVERDRIVE," I had the pleasure of engaging in an exclusive interview with PATTERN, delving into discussions about their latest track, their evolution since debut, and the journey ahead for this promising boy group.


 

안녕하세요 PATTERN! 시간을 내어 Hellokpop과 대화해 주셔서 감사합니다. 당신의 그룹을 세 단어로 어떻게 설명하겠습니까?

Hello PATTERN! Thanks for taking the time to chat with Hellokpop. How would you describe your group in three words?


매력,개성,조화 로 표현하고 싶습니다.

I want to express it with charm, individuality, and harmony.


당신의 신곡은 "OVERDRIVE"입니다. 이번 곡의 콘셉트는 무엇이며, 리스너들이 이 곡을 통해 무엇을 얻었으면 좋겠나요?

Your new song is "OVERDRIVE." What is the concept of this song, and what do you hope listeners get out of it?


이번 노래 OVERDRIVE는 4차원이라는 단어와 사랑하는 너에게  거침없이 달려간다는 의미를 담긴 유쾌하고 재밌게 포현한 곡입니다. 리스너들이 패턴만의 개성과 다양한 음악적인 색깔을 느낄 수 있는 곡이 됬으면합니다.

This song, "OVERDRIVE," is a cheerful and fun song that expresses the word 4th dimension and the meaning of running towards your beloved without hesitation. I hope it becomes a song that allows listeners to feel the unique personality and diverse musical colors PATTERN.


노래 가사를 통해 어떤 감정을 불러일으키고 싶나요?

What emotions do you want to evoke through your song lyrics?


흥이나고,다 같이 즐길 수 있는 패턴의 매력적인 감각을 통해 흥미로움을 느낄 수 있다면 좋겠네요.

We want anyone listening to our song lyrics to feel the excitement through the attractive sense of PATTERN that everyone can enjoy together.



당신의 노래 "MALIBU"와 "OVERDRIVE"의 가장 큰 차이점은 무엇이며 가장 공감되는 것은 무엇입니까?

What is the biggest difference between your songs "MALIBU" and "OVERDRIVE," and which one resonates with you the most?


가장 큰 차이점은 “곡의 분위기” 입니다!!

말리부는 미디엄템포의 섹시함을 표현한 곡이라면,OVERDRIVE는 가볍고 신나게 들을 수 있는 곡입니다.

The biggest difference is the atmosphere of the song!! While "Malibu" is a song that expresses the sexiness of a medium tempo, "OVERDRIVE" is a light and exciting song.


그룹으로서 가장 행복한 순간은 언제인가요?

What is your happiest moment as a group?


맴버들이랑 함께 무대를 최선을 다하며 즐길 때가 가장 행복합니다.

We are the happiest when we do our best and enjoy the stage together.


전 세계 어디에서든 공연할 곳을 선택할 수 있다면 어디로 가겠습니까?

If you could choose where to perform anywhere in the world, where would you go?


우선 저희 패턴은 미국에 갈 수 있는 기회가 생긴다면 미국을 투어해보고싶습니다.

We would like to tour the United States if we have the chance to go there.


앞으로 해보고 싶은 컨셉은? 특별히 염두에 두고 있는 예술적 방향이 있나요?

What concept would you like to try in the future? Do you have any particular artistic direction in mind?


앞으로 해보고싶은 컨셉은 정말 많지만,기존의 타이틀을 깨버린,새로운 패턴만의 장르를 만들고 싶습니다.

There are so many concepts we want to try in the future, but mostly, we want to create a new PATTERN genre that breaks the existing ones.



데뷔한지 6개월이 넘었습니다. 그 이후로 개별적으로 또는 그룹으로 어떻게 변했습니까?

It's been over 6 months since you debuted. How have they changed individually or as a group since then?


아직은 많이 부족하고 패턴이지만, 점점 팀의 합과 음악적인 성향을 만들어가고있습니다.

We are still lacking, but gradually, the team's harmony and musical inclinations are being created.


그룹으로서 어떤 목표를 가지고 있습니까? 내년에 무엇을 성취하기를 희망합니까?

What goals do you have as a group? What do you hope to accomplish next year?


그룹으로서의 목표는 저희가 할 수 있는 무대는 항상 최선을 다하며,언젠가 패턴만의 월드투어를 진행 해보고 싶습니다. 내년에는 미국에 갈 수 있는 기회가 있다면 좋겠네요.

Our main goal as a group is always to do our best on stage. We also want to hold our own world tour and hope to have the opportunity to go to the U.S. next year.


마지막으로 전 세계 팬들에게 하고 싶은 말이 있다면?

Lastly, is there anything you want to say to your fans?


안녕 페어링!  패턴의 음악을 항상 사랑해줘서 고마워! 앞으로도 더 많은 무대와 나라를 방문하여 너희들에게 패턴만의 매력과 음악을 즐길 수 있게 노력할께!전 세계 어디에 있는 페어링이라도 꼭 만나러 그날까지 패턴은 항상 발전하고 노력할께 지켜봐줘.

Hello PAIRING! Thank you for always loving PATTERN's music! We will continue to visit more stages and countries so that you can enjoy PATTERN's unique charm and music. We will always work hard to develop PATTERN until the day we meet PAIRING across the world. Please stay tuned!
