WHIB ON SOCIALS:

January 29th, 2026 [Los Angeles, CA] - K-Pop group WHIB has officially released The 1st Mini Album : ROCK THE NATION, a bold statement project described as “the great prelude to WHIB's relentless run that will be recorded in the clearest color.” The release features five total tracks, each contributing to the group’s clearly defined narrative and artistic direction.

With this release, WHIB defines its artistic identity and imprints a clear direction for the road ahead. More than a collection of songs, ROCK THE NATION penetrates the group's narrative deeply; showcasing their unwavering sense of purpose, explosive performance energy, and emotional dimension.

At the center of the album is the title track “ROCK THE NATION,” a commanding piece built on heavy sound design and grand spatial composition. The track harnesses rising waves of emotion and immense energy that culminate in a spectacular on-stage experience; solidifying WHIB’s irreplaceable position as performers. Layers of soaring vocals and aggressive rap lines in the chorus create an immersive sense of “invasion,” overwhelming the listener with a powerful sonic force. Throughout, the song follows a delicate emotional texture, blending unique genre-defying beats that are bold and unbound.

Across the project, WHIB proves they will shine the brightest when fully in control of their own world. From intense performance-driven energy to unshakable confidence, and the anxiety and solitude buried beneath it, the group weaves these emotional threads into a cohesive, three-dimensional identity. The result is an album that serves both as an answer to WHIB’s music and as their strongest declaration yet.

The 1st Mini Album : ROCK THE NATION stands as WHIB’s most vivid and intense first conviction, an explosive beginning powerful enough to shake the world.
