WELCOME TO THE 24WORLD

OOOOOOH...

HERE WE COME BACK! Ready to take the stage with our usual words

Shining even brighter, lighting up the scene #XXIVWORLD

Let’s keep shining and increasing our glow

Yes, a light that never goes out, weaving together forever

If you look at the world from afar, OH

OH-OH-OH-OH, OH-OH-OH-OH

Everything may seem trivial now, SO SHINE YOURSELF BRIGHTER

OHHHHHHH...

This world is in your hands

Illuminated by you

#XXIVWORLD

Real ones, hearts that won't fade away

Holding them close to your chest

WELCOME TO THE 24WORLD

OH OH OH

Even if our lives run out

OH OH OH

Even if the world ends

OH OH OH

We'll keep passing it down forever

Unbreakable PRIDE = 24WORLD

Young and poor, but fabulous—that's okay

Carrying the strength to keep rocking

Inheriting the medals of the strong

Yes, a light that never goes out, weaving together forever

In times like these, with hands extended, OH

OH-OH-OH-OH, OH-OH-OH-OH

Who knows what’s ahead, but...

OHHHHHHH...

This world is in your hands

Illuminated by you

#XXIVWORLD

Real ones, hearts that won't fade away

Holding them close to your chest

WELCOME TO THE 24WORLD

OH OH OH

Even if our lives run out

OH OH OH

Even if the world ends

OH OH OH

We’ll keep inheriting it forever

WORLD IS YOURS, it belongs to you

No concessions, no compromises—your own style forever

Progressing with a fearless spirit

Carrying the badge of the strongest

No theory, just steps crossing oceans

Always flowing melody and rhyme

24/7 365 days a year

In a near future overflowing with digital

But I want to believe in genuine human connection

These words, built into our bodies, create a new era

24—that’s a brave new world beyond time and space, filled in our hearts

When ideals only, turn into mere dreams

If you truly want it, reach out your hand

DON’T BE AFRAID

Spread your wings

At that moment, you'll be unleashed

IT’S A NEW WORLD

No one can tell us otherwise, this is 24WORLD

HEAVEN & EARTH... As long as this universe exists

HEAVEN & EARTH... As long as this planet continues

As long as you can see it

This world is in your hands

Illuminated by you

#XXIVWORLD

Real ones, hearts that won't fade away

Holding them close to your chest

WELCOME TO THE 24WORLD

OH OH OH

Even if our lives run out

OH OH OH

Even if the world ends

OH OH OH

We will keep inheriting it forever

WORLD IS YOURS, it’s yours

No concessions, no compromises—your own style forever
