One of K-pop’s rising groups, ALL(H)OURS, continues to climb higher with their latest mini album, VCF.
On September 9, 2025, ALL(H)OURS returned with their fourth mini album, VCF, short for “Vibe Check Failed.” The title draws inspiration from the popular social media meme and slang “vibe check.”
VCF sets the tone of showing up to a party in an unexpected dress code—and still owning the spotlight. Building on the fiery passion and ideals expressed in their third mini album, Smoke Point, released in February 2025, this new project pushes the group further.
With VCF, ALL(H)OURS delivers music that highlights their unique skills and charms rather than following industry trends, proving their commitment to moving forward and overcoming challenges both as artists and as a team.
As leader KUNHO explained, the group put tremendous effort into leading listeners in a new direction with this release. Rather than sticking to their comfort zone, they aim to define and showcase who they truly are in the K-pop universe. He added:
With the stage presence we’ve built through our Asia and Europe fan-con tour, we’re ready to deliver performances that are more confident and energetic than ever. Not only on stage but also off stage, we hope to connect with Min(ut)es through various activities and grow even closer with them.

Checking the Vibe of VCF with Its Tracklist
ALL(H)OURS’ fourth mini album features five tracks: “VCF,” “READY 2 RUMBLE,” “DO IT,” “GOOD JOB,” and “La Vida Loca.”
The album opens with “VCF,” a groovy hip-hop piece driven by psychedelic synths and deep sub-bass, setting the tone for its “misfit” concept. It’s followed by “READY 2 RUMBLE,” a hybrid trap-style track that explodes with thunderous sounds and fierce vocals.
The third track, “DO IT,” draws inspiration from the rhythmic groove of ‘90s new jack swing, combining heavy sub-bass and modern synths for a fresh retro-meets-contemporary vibe.
For the fourth track, “GOOD JOB,” written by KUNHO, XAYDEN, MASAMI, and HYUNBIN, the rap unit pours in personal narratives through catchy hooks and powerful rap verses. The result is a track with signature K-pop energy layered with emotional undertones.
Finally, “La Vida Loca,” sung by vocal unit members KUNHO, YOUMIN, MINJE, and ON:N, focuses on heartfelt melodies and polished vocals, leaving a strong impression as the album’s closer.

YOUMIN shared:
One of the things I would like to point out in this album is that we have tracks sung by the rap and vocal unit of ALL(H)OURS. ‘GOOD JOB’ features lyrics written by KUNHO, XAYDEN, MASAMI, and HYUNBIN, with a powerful beat as its foundation, showing all the unique colors of the rap unit. ‘GOOD JOB’ blends skillful verses with an addictive hook, making it more captivating the more you listen. The vocal unit song ‘La Vida Loca’ is sung by KUNHO, YOUMIN, MINJE, ON:N, combining the drums and synth sounds with an emotional melody. We are confident to say that the vocal performances, which have grown even more since the last album, will leave a strong impression on listeners.
Since their debut, ALL(H)OURS has consistently showcased a distinct energy and identity with each release. VCF marks another milestone in their journey, further cementing their artistry in both sound and performance.
