[B2B] DRIPPIN - Villain : ZERO (2nd Single Album) / 드리핀 (DRIPPIN) - Villain : ZERO (2ND 싱글앨범)

DRIPPIN's prequel to the extended universe [Villain'z Era], [Villain : ZERO].

Based on the dichotomy and uncertainty principle, the beginning of a connected narrative.

The identity of the divided 'X', the center of all narratives, is revealed.

Following the 3rd Mini Album [Villain], DRIPPIN has released the 2nd Single Album [Villain : ZERO], which contains the secrets of the missing link that was not resolved in the previous work. This prequel starts from the keyword [ZERO], which implies Empty, which is not filled with anything, and Ever, which implies eternity, and contains the story within the main character 'X', not the whole.

The title track 'ZERO' is a moment that symbolizes the division of 'X', the center of all narratives, and is an Alternative-Hiphop genre song that foreshadows a turning point that will be brought about in the near future. The harmony of Insane-Gain's Distortion Riff and the layered Overtone is impressive. As they challenge a new genre, you can see the doubled charm of each member. You can feel the more mature growth of DRIPPIN at the turning point of the finely arranged part composition, from Dongyun and Alex's RAP parts unfolding in Low-Loud, Yoonseong and Minseo connecting the turning point of the song with delicate beauty, Junho and Changuk conveying the mood of the song, and Lee's ad-libs that go beyond the limit.

If 'ZERO' symbolizes division, 'GAME' contains the message of conflict within. The 'ZERO-SUM GAME' that cannot coexist between the two selves to occupy the central self continues, expressing a series of endless agony. 'Trick and Treat' is a bridge song connecting the middle point between the previous work and the prequel, and completed the Dance-Break of intense Beat with the motif of the battle scene in the 'Villain' music video, realizing the tension of the battlefield musically and raising the completeness of the worldview.

Meanwhile, DRIPPIN has revealed all the stories except the last page through [Villain] X [Villain : ZERO], such as the birth of a villain, the conflict structure surrounding the control energy and the source of power that the members possess, and the meeting of the members and the identity of the divided 'X'. [Villain'z Era], composed of 3 chapters, is now only in the second half.

In addition, expectations for the 3rd chapter 'Sequel' which will decorate the finale of the narrative are growing, and DRIPPIN members (Cha Jun-ho, Hwang Yun-seong, Kim Dong-yun, Lee Hyeop, Joo Chang-uk, Alex, Kim Min-seo) said that they would be able to find the answer to the ending by connecting the hidden messages such as the released sound source, music video, lyrics, and images, raising even greater curiosity.

As various interpretations of the inevitable future to be developed after [Villain] and [Villain : ZERO] have become possible, they are going to add more depth to the narrative of [Villain'z Era] to be completed in the future, and DRIPPIN's steps will be in the spotlight, revealing its presence to global fans around the world as a performance artist as well as music.
