Storyline and marketing
ETERNITY's home planet is AIA. This is inhabited by aliens called AIAN,[3] who resemble humans on Earth. In the center of AIA lies the Red Flower, which protects AIA’s glorious civilization and happiness with its vibrant energy. Thanks to the flower, AIANs were able to preserve their youths and lives for eternity.
However, the flower started to wilt. Not even the greatest intelligence and technology was enough to confront this crisis. After years of struggle, the AIANs came across Earth and found out that the key to restoring life and energy was ‘love’.
In order to save their beloved civilization, AIA elected 22 agents who would learn the language of love from the humans. During their debut, Dain went to the planet first. Yeorum, Sujin, Hyejin, Seoa and Minji followed Dain to come to the earth. They were dispatched with “I'm Real” to signal AIAN’s appearance to human civilization in hopes of communicating with them.[4]
On 22nd March, Pulse9 released debut single "I'm Real", sung by Hyejin, Seoa, Yeoreum, Sujin and Minji.[5] The Title song produced by Doodle Bum Sound, inspired from the iconic line in ‘Pinocchio’ when he said, “I'm a real boy”, after becoming one thanks to his father’s love and dedication. Pulse9 revealed that ETERNITY would first perform in unit of 5. Members of ETERNITY will be influencers, models, members of units and so on. [6]
On August 25 and 26, Pulse9 released the teasers of 6th member, Dain's solo debut single "No Filter", and released the song on August 27.[7] Title song ‘No Filter’ is a cute and sensuous dance music, produced by Enterarts Producer NUVO and AI Composer Aimy Moon. The song sends a message that our true self is beautiful and lovely, so people should show their real face without any filter.[8]
