The album features 14 tracks, including two drama theme songs and two commercial tie-ins, along with three hours of video content. Their music videos also explore alternate realities, with 'FUN! FUN! FUN!' set on a vibrant miracle island and 'IT’S SHOWTIME' reimagining the group as a 1990s J-pop act.
