K-pop Group Big Ocean Makes a Bold Statement with ‘ATTENTION’ on Inkigayo
Rising K-pop group Big Ocean, composed of members Lee Chanyeon, PJ, and Kim Jiseok, showcased a riveting stage performance on the June 11 episode of SBS’s Inkigayo. The trio performed their latest title track, ‘ATTENTION’, from their second mini-album ‘Underwater’, captivating global audiences with their mature concept and bold choreography.
The performance stood out with a visually arresting incorporation of sign language and highly synchronized, powerful movements. The choreography featured a striking highlight: when the members revealed their collarbones, the word “fearless” was visibly inscribed—offering a direct visual extension of the song’s core message.
‘ATTENTION’ symbolizes awakening primal instincts, reflecting the group’s concept journey of recognizing themselves as modern-day mermen reclaiming their confidence. The lyrics seductively invite the listener to dive into emotional currents, embracing one’s inner desires without restraint.
Member Kim Jiseok’s hands-on involvement in the choreography added a personal flair to the stage, further connecting with fans on a deeper level.

This marks a significant step in their global expansion and fan engagement strategy.
With performances like ‘ATTENTION’, Big Ocean continues to position themselves as a fearless and innovative force in K-pop, redefining the limits of performance art and narrative storytelling in music.
