K-pop girl group UNIS officially returned on April 15 with their second mini album SWICY, marking their first comeback of 2025. The eight members — HYEONJU, NANA, GEHLEE, KOTOKO, YUNHA, ELISIA, YOONA, and SEOWON — unveiled the five-track release through all major music platforms, kicking off a new promotional cycle that balances bright energy with bold flavor.
Following their debut single album CURIOUS, SWICY showcases the group’s signature “sweet and spicy” blend, both in concept and musical direction. The title is a coined word combining “sweet” and “spicy,” reflecting Gen Z’s growing affinity for vibrant contrasts. The album embraces this duality across all five tracks: “SWICY,” “From a Seed Called ‘What Are You Doing?’,” “DDANG!,” “Good Feeling,” and “Spring Rain.”
With its catchy melodies and dynamic production, the album positions UNIS as a rising presence in the fourth-generation K-pop landscape. Visually, the group leans into youthful energy with school-inspired styling, playful accessories, and choreography that amplifies their bubbly charm.
The lead track “SWICY” is especially notable for its upbeat rhythm and lively concept, further elevated by the members’ bright expressions and age-appropriate styling. The use of food motifs, vibrant props, and energetic visuals captures a lighthearted, fun-loving spirit while staying true to their Gen Z identity.
UNIS also shared more about the album’s creative process and behind-the-scenes moments — now featured on KCrush’s Featured Interview section.
