Its title song ‘RUN’ is a hip-hop and R&B track with inspiration coming from authentic hip-hop based, K-pop groups like BIGBANG & Block B.
The styling within the “RUN” music video revolves around identity - fighting to find your identity and allowing it to exist without limitations.
Fashion genres in the music video and album photos such as glamour punk, chic, hip-hop, and street tech-wear exhibit an inner, persistent search for personal identity in the midst of juggling the responsibilities and expectations of maturing youth.
The theme of the mini-album is to showcase a challenging but beautiful youth.
As members of Generation Z themselves, LUMINOUS’ message is particularly aimed at those in their age range, and as social media is now ingrained in our lives, it can leave an isolating feeling in many, especially with COVID-19 being a factor.
Taking that into account, the purpose of LUMINOUS is to illuminate the dichotomy of the ups and downs and sometimes middle ground that exists in everyday life together with their fans, and the fans nor LUMINOUS are truly alone as they have each other there for empathy and comfort.
