WATCH: DKZ Is On The Hunt In Ferocious “Uh-Heung” MV

DKZ made an explosive return with their seventh single album, CHASE EPISODE 3. BEUM, on October 6th at 6 p.m. KST. 

The title track “Uh-Heung” is the Korean way of making the sound of a tiger’s roar while the Korean title “호랑이가 쫓아온다” itself literally translates to “the tiger is chasing you.” The song is a mix of pop and electronic hip-hop that blends multiple elements from 808 bass and calming guitars to colorful synthesizers over intense beats.  

Member Jaechan was in charge of rap-making alongside producer Cray bin who has worked on every song from DKZ’s CHASE album series GGUM and MAUM. The colorful flow and increasing heights of the song depict a genre that is uniquely DKZ. CHASE EPISODE 3. BEUM wraps up the current album series which began last July with the eclectic “Crazy Night.” 

The group was previously known as DONGKIZ and has rebranded as DKZ. Former leader Wondae departed the group due to health reasons which saw maknae Jeonghyeon taking the position of group leader. Members Kyoungyoon, Jaechan, and Jeonghyeon were then joined by three new additions: Sehyeon, Mingyu, and Giseok. Another member, Munik, went on hiatus due to anxiety and as of this comeback, Dongyo Entertainment still has not provided fans with any updates.

Of course, you can’t talk about DKZ without mentioning its incredible rise in popularity due in part to the success of Jaechan’s acting role in BL drama “Semantic Error” opposite Park Seoham (formerly of idol group KNK.)

DKZ’s seventh single album CHASE EPISODE 3. BEUM is out now, and you can check out the music video for “Uh-Heung” below!
