CLOSE YOUR EYES sample Yoon Si-nae classic on 4th mini album '256th Note', out Sept 30
CLOSE YOUR EYES drops their tracklist for *256th Note*. The title track samples Yoon Si-nae's *이 밤을 즐겁게* — their first sampling track since debut.
Their first sampling track, built on a jazz-funk legend
CLOSE YOUR EYES (전민욱, 마징시앙, 장여준, 김성민, 송승호, 켄신, 서경배) are coming back with 256th Note, their fourth mini album, on September 30 at 6 PM across online music platforms. The group revealed the tracklist on September 11 at 8 PM via official SNS.
Title track Drop That! samples 이 밤을 즐겁게 by Yoon Si-nae, a foundational figure in Korean jazz-funk. It's the group's first sampling track since debut. A notable left turn for a group that has spent the past year stacking rookie awards.
Seven tracks, two standout credits
The full 256th Note tracklist:
- Drop That! (title track)
- Open Your Eyes
- Vibe Check
- Slowly Bleed
- Fool For You
- Baby Bossa Nova
- Eternity
Baby Bossa Nova features Ju Hye-rin (주혜린), a rising artist in the R&B scene. Closing track Eternity carries songwriting credits from every member.
The rollout before September 30
A highlight medley drops September 13. Then on September 18 at 6 PM, pre-release track Open Your Eyes gets both an audio release and a music video. The full album follows on the 30th, with a comeback live the same evening at 8 PM.
The timing lands after a run of award wins that stretched from late 2025 into 2026. The 35th Seoul Music Awards Rookie Award. The 40th Golden Disc Awards Golden Choice. The 2026 SPOTV K-POP AWARDS Next Generation award, among others. (Ten awards in roughly a year is a pace most groups don't hit in three.) 256th Note is the first full project they're carrying into that recognition.
