Kep1er signaled a shocking shift in visuals and sound ahead of their comeback.
On the 25th, via their official social media, they dropped the highlight medley for their 8th mini album 'CRACK CODE'.
The video distills the album’s core theme of an “inner awakening.” A vintage mood, sophisticated yet restrained styling, and bold bodyline reveals come together to hint at deeper, more intense emotions than the group’s previously bright and upbeat color.
The title track 'KILLA (Face the other me)' is an electronic hip-hop cut that fuses searing lead synths with trap-based drums. Pushing a stronger sonic identity than before, the song tells the story of confronting the self hidden within.
Meanwhile, Kep1er have been invited as a ceremonial first pitch thrower and performing artist to 'FY26 Asia Day' in Fukuoka, Japan, taking place May 22–24.
