The six-member girl group Everglow has revealed a dramatic transformation into zombies, captivating fans worldwide with teasers for their fifth single, "ZOMBIE," released on June 3 and 4 through their official social media channels.

The first teaser video showcases highlight scenes from the upcoming music video. The intense opening features blood splattering on a phone display, setting a dark and gripping tone.

Everglow members, lying in a hospital room, awaken as zombies, clutching their phones as if awaiting a crucial message. The teaser culminates with member Sihyeon’s desperate scream, heightening the anticipation for the full release.

Following this, an English interview video with Sihyeon drew attention as she reflects on the insignificance of Earth in the vastness of the universe, describing humanity's misunderstandings, conflicts and deep-seated grudges.

Sihyeon metaphorically likens these to trying to hold onto a lost love, with the eerie atmosphere amplified by her high-pitched laughter, ending the interview on a chilling note, accompanied by haunting music.

"ZOMBIE" is a collaborative effort with renowned producers The Stereotypes, known for working with global pop stars such as Bruno Mars, Silk Sonic, Ne-Yo and Justin Bieber.

The song delves into themes of love and hate, delivering a fierce love song that distinctly embodies Everglow's unique identity. The bold and provocative music video teasers have garnered a fervent response, leaving fans eager to see how Everglow's captivating narrative will unfold.

Everglow's fifth single album "ZOMBIE" is set for release on June 10 at 6 p.m. KST on various online music platforms.
