Before getting into her album’s details, Sunmi said that younger fans might not be familiar with the album’s theme and explained that the early 2000s era is commonly referred to as the Y2K era.

“If you were born in the early or late 2000s, you probably don’t know this theme. People in foreign countries recently call this theme, ‘Y2K era.'” | SUNMI/YouTube

Sunmi said the 1/6 album expresses the mood of the Y2K era through its design, her outfits, and her accessories.

She complimented the album’s designer on capturing the mood of the Y2K era vibe well. Then, she pointed out that the album says “every page in color” at the top like a vintage magazine.

She pointed out that the album insert’s cover is holographic. Holograms were very trendy during the Y2K era, so this detail adds to the early 2000s vibes.

During the unboxing video, Sunmi explained why she included photos taken with a fisheye lens in the album. “In the early 2000s, many videos and photos were taken with a fisheye lens, so I took photos with it, too,” she said.

Sunmi revealed that the photos she took for the track “Narcissism” are her favorites and that she thinks they fit the Y2K concept really well.

“These cuts fit well with the concept. I took these with a mirror. Styling at that moment is one of my favorites.” | SUNMI/YouTube

The album also comes with stickers that fans can use to decorate their diaries like people did in the early 2000s.
