LNGSHOT Returns With S.W.I.S.H.

Group LNGSHOT is back with their brand-new EP, S.W.I.S.H., continuing a busy schedule that began with their January debut EP, SHOT CALLERS. The release also follows two mixtapes, pre-debut tracks gathered on the EP Training Day, and various OSTs and singles. According to member Woojin, while their earlier release featured distinct, standalone tracks, the new record presents a cohesive flow with a fun musical attitude, marking a clear turning point for the group.

Ahead of the release, the members reflected on spending two months as special guests on Jay Park’s SERENADES & BODY ROLLS world tour. The experience included memorable overseas stops, such as a show in France attended by Louis's family, and sold-out crowds that helped the group ease pre-stage nerves. Ryul noted that the tour offered valuable lessons on stage presence, fan service, and maintaining mental health while juggling a demanding schedule and preparing their comeback simultaneously.

Inside the Making of 'Bananas'

Balancing the road trip and album preparations required careful planning. The group finalized and re-recorded songs before hitting the road, later shooting music videos overseas and tweaking choreography between tour stops. The title track, “Bananas,” originated from an early demo considered even before their debut. Woojin described hearing the hook for the first time as an electric shock, noting that the track underwent five different versions—including a band-style arrangement—before arriving at its final form.

The hook makes you feel like things are about to get hyped and you’re about to turn up, but then there’s a twist where it dies down. That’s where it hooks you even more.

The members hope listeners will enjoy the record at any time of day. While Ohyul encourages fans to simply turn up whenever the music plays, Ryul shared that he tracks audience feedback on the group's secondary Instagram account, 4shoboiz, hoping the new tracks become a comforting part of daily routines just as past songs have for listeners.
