Dara unveils emotional teaser for reimagined ‘FESTIVAL’

Dara is set to return with a more mature and emotional sound through her upcoming single album 'rePRISM.'

On June 15 KST, Dara released the music video teaser for “FESTIVAL (Reprism Ver.)” via ARADNAS’ official social media channels, giving fans a first glimpse of her new musical direction.

In the teaser, Dara captivates viewers with a sophisticated look featuring a pearl necklace, wavy hairstyle, and leather jacket. Surrounded by balloons, lights, and festive decorations, she creates a dreamy, cinematic atmosphere that contrasts with the song’s emotional undertones.

The video particularly draws attention to Dara wandering alone through a space after the celebration has ended, evoking a sense of nostalgia and deepening anticipation for the full release.

“FESTIVAL (Reprism Ver.)” is a reimagined version of Dara’s first solo debut track, “Festival.” While the original song was known for its bright and refreshing energy, the new version promises a more reflective mood and richer emotional depth.

The upcoming single album 'rePRISM' represents the rediscovery of colors and emotions that Dara has long carried within her but has not fully expressed until now. The project also serves as a reflection of her evolving artistic identity and future musical direction.

Dara further showcases her growth as an artist by participating in the songwriting, composition, and arrangement process for the album.

'rePRISM' will be released on June 20 at 6 PM KST through major music streaming platforms. She will then continue promotions with “2026 Dara Fan-Con Asia Tour REPRISM,” beginning on July 4 at YES24 Live Hall in Seoul, where she will reunite with fans through a special live event.
