The boy group Drippin who made their debut in October 2020 with their mini-album, ‘Boyager’ have now announced the release of their third album ‘Villain’. The seven member group have officially released two mini-albums and one single album over the last 15 months since their debut. They have now announced the release of a game changing album that is “dripping” with the group’s newfound fatal charm.

Both mini-albums by the group did well on major Korean charts as these albums peaked at Number 8 on Gaon Chart soon after its release. Not only that, Drippin has also made a name for itself in Japan as they also simultaneously charted on Japan’s Oricon Chart soon after their debut.

All seven members of the group appear to be standing in a space filled with colorful chandeliers and red lighting, which is a departure from their earlier colorful and cool-toned concepts from previous releases.

In addition, Drippin members’ chic charismas and villainous glares are reflecting in the various solo concept images released by the label too. The boys are seen wearing leather jackets and harnesses that is raising many questions about the story that will be narrated through Drippin’s upcoming album concept. Over all, with raised expectations, fans are excited to see these young boys transform into powerful villains.
