Every story needs a first chapter, and AND2BLE named theirs after a feeling. Sequence 01: Curiosity, the group’s debut mini album, came out on May 26, 2026, at 6 p.m. KST. YH Entertainment describes it as “the prologue to the journey AND2BLE will unfold.” Five months later, the second chapter, Sequence 02: Attraction, picked up the story where this one left off.
Curiosity as a starting point
YH’s album introduction begins with a broad idea. From the moment people are born, it says, they keep exploring the world, and at the start of that exploration there is always one instinctive feeling: curiosity. The pull between the familiar and the unfamiliar, questions you can’t explain, and the urge to cross a boundary are, in YH’s words, the most basic forces that move people toward a new world. YH: Sequence 01: Curiosity
That is where the album starts. YH says AND2BLE, standing at their own starting point, become “curiosity” themselves, the kind that keeps your gaze on them. The album is built around three keywords, attraction, gaze and fear. YH says it captures the moment excitement and questions about an unfamiliar world begin to grow, along with the subtle changes inside each member along the way.
YH’s introduction is written in Korean. The quotations in this guide are our translations.
Three versions, three angles
The physical album came in three versions, and YH gives each one its own angle on curiosity:
| Version | YH’s description |
|---|---|
| Unnatural | An unfamiliar beauty born from twisting the familiar |
| Gazed | A question that begins with the self you face |
| Break | The impulse that cracks a repeated routine, and the new rhythm small deviations create |
According to YH, these three different ways of looking all come back to one feeling, curiosity, and together they complete AND2BLE’s beginning.
How the debut was rolled out
The official AND2BLE YouTube channel started six weeks before release:
| Date (KST) | What happened |
|---|---|
| April 11 | Prologue, a 19-minute video introducing the five members |
| April 25 | RE:SENSE - Curiosity, a two-minute video |
| May 19, 6 p.m. | Highlight Medley of all five tracks |
| May 22 and 25 | Curious MV teasers 1 and 2 |
| May 23 | Pop-up store opens at The Hyundai Seoul (until June 3) |
| May 26, 5:59 p.m. | Curious MV |

The pop-up store at The Hyundai Seoul in Yeouido ran by online reservation only, with every session booked in advance through Naver.
If you want a quick sample before the full album, start with the medley.
Curious: the title track
Curious opens the album and is its title track, at just under three minutes.

Watch the original on YouTube ↗The dance practice followed on May 31 (KST). On TV, Mnet aired the group’s Curious stage on M COUNTDOWN on May 28, and MBC aired it on Show! Music Core on May 30.
Our take: The song title, the album title and the series all point to the same word. Watch the MV with YH’s three keywords in mind (attraction, gaze and fear) and see which ones you notice.
Five tracks
The track list and running times come from YH’s album page. YH: Sequence 01: Curiosity

The whole album runs under 15 minutes.
Aura: the second song on stage
Aura got more than an audio upload. The channel posted an Aura dance practice on June 8, and on June 11 Mnet aired the group performing it on M COUNTDOWN.

Watch the original on YouTube ↗The fan showcase
The official channel also has the full Sequence 01: Curiosity FAN SHOWCASE, about 69 minutes long. Its description marks three performances. Aura starts at 10:46, Curious at 38:25 and Sugar Rush at 1:04:56, so you can jump straight to the songs.

Watch the original on YouTube ↗After the release: Welcome to Qurious
The album’s world carried on into the summer. AND2BLE’s show concerts were called Welcome to Qurious, and the official channel posted stages from Seoul in June and from Macau in July. The group sang NewJeans’ Ditto in Seoul, and each member had a solo stage. On TV, M COUNTDOWN also aired Curious again on June 4 as part of its Mega Concert episode.
Our take: “Qurious” is spelled with a Q, but it’s hard not to hear the debut single in it. The show name keeps Curious in the picture well after the release.
