Tipi-tap is the sixth extended play by South Korean girl group Kep1er. It was released by WakeOne and Klap Entertainment on November 1, 2024, and contains five tracks, including the lead single of the same name.

Background

[edit]

Kep1er was formed through the reality survival show Girls Planet 999 (2021). Their initial contract lasted for thirty months,[1] and expired in July 2024.[2] In May 2024, WakeOne announced that all members of Kep1er, except Mashiro and Yeseo, renewed their contracts with the agency.[3]

On October 7, 2024, it was reported that Kep1er will be releasing a new album on November 1 later that year, their first release since Mashiro and Yeseo's departure.[4] This was confirmed three days later, when WakeOne announced Kep1er's sixth EP TIPI-TAP.[5] The album's track listing was released on October 15, with the single of the same name announced as the album's lead single.[6] On October 21, a trailer film for the album, titled New Connection, was released.[7] Tipi-tap was released on November 1, along with the music video for its lead single of the same name.[8]

Promotion

[edit]

Prior to the announcement of the album, Kep1er performed the track "Sync-love" at KCON Germany 2024 in September.[9] On October 17, a fan event titled Tipi-map was announced in support of the album's release.[10]

Composition

[edit]

The opening track "Sync-love" was described as a hyper-pop dance song with "strong drums and bass".[9]
