Koyote member Shin Ji spoke about her new album concept, saying "I think I keep getting tackier," and laughed.
On January 21st Koyote held a 17 year debut anniversary mini album release Press Day at Club Jack Be Nimble in Seoul. Shin Ji spoke about their new song "1999" and its concept. She said, "The way things just happen, I keep getting tackier. Maybe it's because I try to express more of a retro feel." She smiled brightly after admitting her fashion style may be heading in the wrong direction.


 said, "More than retro, it just gives off the vibe of someone who lived long time ago" and elicited laughter. Shin Ji retorted, "To be honest this kind of style shouldn't look too good on you. I think as we're getting older these styles are beginning to match us more. It's a trap."

At this press conference, Koyote members were asked where their 'retro' source came from. Shin Ji explained 'When we received our title song '1999,' the composer suggested 'before' (or old times) as a concept. And it was decided that our styling would be like that of old times. After all, we did have our activities in the 90s."
Koyote's newest mini album 1999 has the title song "1999," Why You Too," "Snow Is Falling," "Hold Me," and "Even If this Winter Passes" (tentative translations). The members' retro styling, music video, and dance all give off the aura of the 1990s.
Their title song "1999" was composed and produced by the famous Duble Sidekick. The song has an exciting sound that takes you on a trip down memory lane, which is in harmony with the song lyrics. Even Radio DJ narrator An Hye Kyung's voice is captured on the song, causing the illusion that one is listening to a winter night radio show.
The album will be released on the 22nd.
