ALL(H)OURS have been making their mark on the K-Pop and global music scene since their debut, and they have only been going stronger with each comeback. We feel enamored by their sound, and we have to say, their presence on stage is just as mesmerizing. A powerful group with intense, captivating performances and vocals that leave an impression: ALL(H)OURS is a group to keep a close eye (and ear) on.
We have a little something for all of you interested in the K-Pop idols. We got lucky enough to ask ALL(H)OURS a few questions about their first 2026 comeback with NO DOUBT, their experience performing around the world, and we even got to know some of their favorite songs!
NO DOUBT
Hello, and welcome to The Honey POP, ALL(H)OURS! We are so thrilled to have you! First, congratulations on another strong and impressive release with NO DOUBT. The concept behind it is quite interesting. What would you say sets this album apart from your previous releases?
ON:N: While our previous albums focused on showing our potential and that we were ready to ignite, now, as we release our fifth mini album in our third year since debut, we are expressing a stronger sense of identity and ambition. We are confident in our own color and path, with no doubt, and determined to push forward until the end, so you will be able to see a more solid version of ALL(H)OURS.
Do you have any specific lyrics from the songs in NO DOUBT that you are quite fond of whenever you hear them?
HYUNBIN: In ‘Cause I’m Insane,’ I wrote the line, “I hope my existence can be a comfort to you,” and that line is the one I feel most attached to. In the song, the word “existence” actually represents ‘Cause I’m Insane’ itself, and I wrote it with the hope that the song could bring comfort to listeners, which is why it means so much to me.
NO DOUBT is about being certain of what you want and pressing forward even during difficult times. And we know idol life doesn’t come without its struggles. Do you have moments that feel like that conviction is being tested, and do you have a special trick that helps you deal with the difficulties life throws your way?
KUNHO: I have experienced a moment where doubt turned into conviction, especially recently. I questioned whether I was doing well, whether I was on the right path, and even my skills and direction. But through this comeback, receiving so much attention, seeing results, and especially reading letters and words of encouragement from Min(ut)e gave me confidence again. When things get tough, my way of coping is organizing my thoughts in the sauna and talking to myself to regain control.
‘DEAD MAN WALKING’ blew us away with how it paints a picture of every possible struggle thrown at you, and despite various factors trying to keep you down, you keep persevering! If someone needed guidance on how to face such factors and overcome them, what would your personal advice to them be?
YOUMIN: I hope you never forget that the hardships and struggles you face now can become a guide for your future. Everyone goes through difficult times, but if you overcome those moments and keep moving forward, I believe you will be able to face future challenges more easily. Fighting!
On a lighter note, if you had to describe ‘DEAD MAN WALKING’ using one word, what would it be?
XAYDEN: I would describe it as ‘desire,’ because I believe everyone who watches our performance will feel the desire to become our fan. (laughs)
You included unit songs in both NO DOUBT and VCF. How did working on those feel different compared to group songs? Was it difficult to show a different color for each unit without straying from ALL(H)OURS’ style?
YOUMIN: Since unit songs involve fewer members than group songs, they felt relatively less difficult. Unit tracks are a great way to highlight each member’s unique color in a more detailed and distinct way, so I think they are more fun to work on.
Member Picks
We love NO DOUBT, and we also love your other albums, as well. Out of curiosity, what are some of your favorite songs from any of your releases so far?
KUNHO: My favorite song is ‘GIMME GIMME.’ The energy we share together when we perform that song as an encore makes my heart race.
YOUMIN: Mine is ‘Piece of Me’ from this fifth mini album. It is exactly the kind of sound I love, so I do not think my favorite song will change unless we do another R&B track.
XAYDEN: My favorite is ‘Blah Blah,’ because I put a lot of effort into the second verse rap part, and it turned out really well.
MINJE: I like ‘GIMME GIMME.’ It is the most addictive and fun song to perform on stage, which is why it is my favorite.
MASAMI: My favorite is ‘SHOCK,’ because of its addictive sound and how easy it is for listeners to sing along.
HYUNBIN: My favorite is ‘ALL OURS’ from our first album. All of us participated in lyric writing and composition, and the song reflects our journey from the beginning until now.
ON:N: Mine is ‘READY 2 RUMBLE.’ After performing it many times, I feel the most excitement on stage with this song. The choreography matches the music well, and the vocal points are very clear, which makes it enjoyable.
Global Reach And Future Goals
You recently wrapped your first North American Fancon, ALL the HOURS, and have also previously taken it to the stages in Europe. How did it feel to expand your reach like that and meet with your international fans? Any unforgettable memories you’d like to share with our readers and us?
YOUMIN: The happiest part of the tour was seeing fans sing along to our songs and enjoy the stage with us. Sharing and enjoying the stage together with our fans is the best memory.
MASAMI: By interacting with fans from different regions, I learned about each stop’s cultures and charms. I was also able to feel their unique energy, which was really meaningful.
You manage to captivate the audience with your powerful performances. While traveling for ALL the HOURS, was there a specific song and stage that felt like it stood out more than the rest, and what do you think is the reason for that?
KUNHO: The transition from ‘Freaky Fresh’ to ‘PSYCHO MANTRA’ was incredible. It is exciting in terms of sound, and with strong choreography and clear concept points, I think it became a fan-favorite moment for Min(ut)e.
We are still quite early in 2026, so what can you tell us about your plans for the rest of the year? Any goals, personal or as a group, that you are aiming to achieve?
MINJE: As a group, we want to win an award at a major ceremony with our music. Personally, I also want to challenge myself by trying acting.
The connection between artists and fans is unique, as it forms a bond between the two sides that’s very special and dear. So for our last question, can you leave a message for all your Min(ut)es?
KUNHO: I hope we can build a relationship where we support each other and set a positive example for other fandoms. I want ALL(H)OURS and Min(ut)e to lead positive change through good influence, and ultimately become a relationship that impacts the entire K-Pop industry.
