TREASURE has always been full of energy and confidence when they put their message forward, but for their second studio album they’ve pressed the REBOOT button. Their renewed sense of determination comes across perfectly in the single “BONA BONA” and the TREASURE trove of nine other unique tracks off the album. We asked the boys for their thoughts on their 10 new songs and to recommend the songs they listen to when they need that extra boost of energy.

​“BONA BONA” (TREASURE)

Choi Hyun Suk: This song has a feeling of OG YG meets new-school YG.

 

Jihoon: TREASURE MAKER will be able to tell this is the best song off the new album the second they hear it.

 

Yoshi: I feel revitalized whenever I hear this song. It’s the highest-energy TREASURE song to come out to date.

 

Junkyu: This song brings out a whole new side of TREASURE!

 

Yoon Jae Hyuk: I feel filled with a kind of majestic feeling when I hear “BONA BONA.”

 

Asahi: I hope people give this song a listen. It shows we’ve got a tough side to us too.

 

Doyoung: Every single part of this song—the verse, the pre-chorus, the hook—are all amazing, and the more I listen to it, the more I love it!

 

Haruto: It’s definitely a YG song. Make sure to give this one a listen!

 

Park Jeong Woo: I hope people give it a listen and like the beat, which is a highlight. The beat goes hard!

 

So Jung Hwan: This song and its huge marching band sound will truly be music to TREASURE MAKER’s ears!

​“I WANT YOUR LOVE” (TREASURE)

Choi Hyun Suk: As soon as you hear this song, you’ll want to get up and have fun. With a blink of an eye, you’ll feel just like you’re at one of our concerts.

 

Junkyu: TREASURE MAKER will have no problem feeling how our group expresses our love when they hear this song!

​“RUN” (TREASURE)

Yoon Jae Hyuk: This is my favorite song off the album, personally. I like it because I feel full of life when I listen to it and the message is pretty clear!

 

Asahi: This song is particularly suitable for the summer and it makes you want to run around, like the title says. I bet TREASURE MAKER would enjoy listening to it while they’re driving around too.

​“MOVE (T5)” (TREASURE)

Doyoung: This song lets us show what it means to have just the right amount of maturity.

 

So Jung Hwan: TREASURE MAKER’s going to love the mature vibe of the song and the choreography, which goes with it perfectly!

​“G.O.A.T (RAP Unit)” feat. LEE YOUNG HYUN (TREASURE)

Choi Hyun Suk: YOUNG HYUN, I respect, appreciate and love you. You’re the GOAT (greatest of all time). Yoshi, Ruto—I love you guys and you mean the world to me. Let’s all be the GOAT too!

 

Yoshi: If you enjoy yourself just like the lyrics say to, you can be the GOAT too.

 

Haruto: Make sure you listen to this song. It’ll make you feel like you’re the GOAT.

“STUPID” (TREASURE)
Yoshi: This is a good song to listen to when you want to get over feelings of regret and hurt about something, especially if you listen to it on a cloudy day.

Park Jeong Woo: I have to recommend this one to TREASURE MAKER because Yoshi wrote it himself.

​“THE WAY TO (VOCAL Unit)” (TREASURE)

Jihoon: The lyrics of this song help you to deal with the worries and failures that come along with becoming an adult, whatever age you are now, so it gives you a lot to think about and I think listeners will be able to relate.

 

Junkyu: I think the lyrics of this song really capture the growing pains you go through in the process of becoming an adult.

 

Park Jeong Woo: I want to recommend this song to TREASURE MAKER because it makes me feel better when I listen to it.

​“WONDERLAND” (TREASURE)

Jihoon: This song has a summer-ready tropical feel to it, so I’m recommending it so people can get the most out of the season.

 

Doyoung: The tropical genre means it’ll make for good listening for TREASURE MAKER in summer whether they’re out for a drive or off hanging out somewhere.

​“B.O.M.B” (TREASURE)

Yoon Jae Hyuk: When I first heard this song, it reminded me of a K-pop song I used to listen to when I was young. It really captures the kind of expressive lyrics only TREASURE has!

 

So Jung Hwan: We express our love to TREASURE MAKER in this song! It makes you feel like you’re listening to a story of wholesome love.

​“LOVESICK” (TREASURE)

Asahi: This song’s good to listen to when you’re alone at night, lying in bed. I like it too. I hope you’ll give it a listen.

 

Haruto: Asahi wrote this song. If you don’t listen to it … Well, you’ll have regrets later.
