BAE173 has released their first full length album NEW CHAPTER: DESEAR on October 14 and music video for the track "Turned Up" on October 23.
NEW CHAPTER: DESEAR, is an album filled with the longing for BAE173 and ELSE (their fandom name) after their reunion. "DESEAR," meaning "want" or "hope" in Spanish, embodies BAE173's hopes for their first full-length album.
The title track of BAE173's first full-length album, "Turned Up," captures the longing and affection felt for the members and fans during a brief period of separation. Its addictive melody and energetic beat will have you moving the moment you hear it. "Turned Up" particularly highlights the hopeful and overwhelming lyrics, which proclaim, "If you have fans who always believe in you and wait for you, your future together will shine brightly." The lyrics were written by members Bit and Youngseo, adding even more meaning to the song.

Another track, "BAE (Before Anyone Else)", is a song that expresses love and gratitude for fans in a conversational style. It is a gift-like song prepared for ELSE, who always wait for BAE17 in the same place. Members Muzin and Bit directly participated in writing the lyrics, and it contains their sincerity towards fans, making their first full-length album even more meaningful. In addition to this, BAE173's shy confession "Will You Be My Girlfriend Just For One Day" which raised expectations for the full album with its pre-release, and T-ara's "Why Are You Like This" which caused a national retro craze upon its release in 2010, reinterpreted in BAE173's own style, "Snap" which brings out a minimal hip-hop feel, "BLACKOUT" which features BAE173's dreamy vocals, "WHAT" which contains an exotic theme created by Latin guitar and brass and a hip-hop rhythm to create a different charm from K-POP so far, and "NOBODY" which is impressive with its addictive whistling sound, a total of 8 songs are included, which will satisfy the hearts of fans who have been waiting for BAE173's full album and will also allow them to see BAE173's expanded musical spectrum.
