Global boy group AEN has released the 'Everywhere' version concept photos for their debut mini album '[A NEW ERA OF NOW]'.

These concept photos are characterized by their visual interpretation of clues pointing to another ego and worldview within ordinary daily life. The seven members — Jiyong, Bomin, Gyuhyun, Haru, Haruto, Junseo, and Kai — emphasized a realistic and youthful charm with shirt and tie styling reminiscent of school uniforms.

In particular, various props and staging elements within the photos spark curiosity among fans. A note inside a book, a note on a piano, a badge with lettering, a note hidden among cleaning tools, snacks with a logo, and a soccer ball used as a walkie-talkie are all different yet hint at a single interconnected story. Additionally, all members wore watches of identical design but in different colors, expressing a unified narrative and adding expandability to the worldview.

AEN, composed of members who gained attention through Starship's global project 'Debut's Plan,' embedded in their group name the meaning of 'a new era that redefines this very moment' along with the Japanese word for 'eternity (永遠).'

Meanwhile, AEN will simultaneously release their debut mini album '[A NEW ERA OF NOW]' in both Korea and Japan on August 5, and will kick off full-scale promotions with the title track 'X to Z.'
