I have the Real Version and I love the photo book, the concept is bright, fitting with the concept of the album. The album itself is really short and sweet with just 3 tracks, with each track sounding different but flowing perfectly together.

Right Here is a title track that as soon as it starts you know it's from THE BOYZ, even though I wasn't a fan or a listener back when this was released, I still feel nostalgic listening to it because I saw them promoting it. I love the melody and how upbeat it is and for me it's one of THE BOYZ' signature songs.
Right Here

I love the melody for L.O.U, some of the melody actually reminds me of another song but I quite put my finger on what song it is. I love the vocals in this track, they blend so well with the melody. I especially love the chorus. It's definitely one of my favourite B-sides. This is one of those songs that makes me hate being late to THEB game.
L.O.U

지킬게 (KeePer) gives me strong summer vibes, the melody is really bright and uplifting and I can't help but tap my foot along to the beat. Their voices perfectly with the melody as well as the concept.
지킬게 (KeePer)

I love this album, it's full of summer vibes, as well as upbeat and happy beats and melodies, with strong, cute and soft vocals, as well as strong and soft raps. For me this album embodies THE BOYZ' sound in their earlier days and I love being able to go back and see how much they've grown.

In my last THE BOYZ post I mentioned how Eric had headed back to America because he was on hiatus from the group for his health, we've had no updates so I can only hope he's doing well and getting the rest and help he needs, it was odd not hearing his voice in their latest comeback. But now sadly Sunwoo is now also taking a hiatus from the group for his health, which I can only put down to it being the strain of touring as well as preparing a comeback and heading into promotions. I hope both he and Eric feel healthy enough to return soon.
