-77.82X-78.29 is the Korean girl group EVERGLOW’s second EP, released on September 21, 2020. It is the group’s first release since the reminiscence mini-album in February of 2020.
-77.82X-78.29 is a substantial change from the sound of EVERGLOW’s previous music while still managing to capture their authentic and unique sound. More than 25,000 copies of the -77.82X-78.29 EP were sold in the first week of its release, breaking the group’s record for the time.
Unlike reminiscence, EVERGLOW participated in the writing process of the album. Member E:U is listed in the credits of “LA DI DA” under the lyrics section.
The meaning of the album name -77.82X-78.29 has been debated, and according to a user on Reddit, E:U was asked about this during the promotional live showcase held for the -77.82X-78.29 EP. She explained that we will find the answer throughout future comebacks.
The numbers in the title of the album are actually the coordinates to a spot in Antarctica. This makes sense considering that ice is a common theme in EVERGLOW’s music and videos. In fact, the coordinates -77.82 and -78.29 are actually commonly found in promotional material. The numbers were first spotted as a neck tattoo in an EVERGLOW photo album.
