Unveiled at midnight on the 22nd, the teaser video captured attention with its backdrop of a traditional Korean house, where the members, adorned in elegant Hanbok, delivered a powerful performance utilizing fans. The choreography, a blend of oriental aesthetics and modern sensibility, combined with majestic Gugak (traditional Korean music) sounds, amplified the song's atmosphere.
This special album is a unique gift from The KingDom to their fandom, 'KingMaker,' who have provided unwavering support over time. The group has mentioned that for this album, they momentarily stepped away from their established universe to pour their sincere feelings for their fans into the music.
The new title track, 'Hwahwa,' is a fusion of the melodious Arirang folk song from Miryang and the energetic essence of K-pop. It boasts a grand scale, featuring collaborations between traditional Korean instruments like gayageum, daegeum, kkwaenggwari, and haegeum, alongside an orchestra. The explosive vocals of The KingDom further enhance its intense charm, bridging tradition and modernity.

They were the first among 4th-generation idols to top five US Amazon Music charts and have expanded their global influence by consecutively entering the Billboard 'World Digital Song Sales' chart in the TOP10 three times.
