Background and release

In September 2016, the group announced that they would release the second part of The Clan series, revealing the concept as Part 2: GUILTY. [1] The EP was released on October 4, with the lead single "Fighter". The music video for the title track was released on Starship's and 1theK's official YouTube channels on the same day, directed by director Dee Shin. [2]

The EP was released in two versions: Guilty and Innocent.

Composition

Building from the first part's themes of the loss and pain of youth, the second part of the series contains the story of protecting their innocence against the world that has caused them that loss and pain. [3]

"Fighter" is a song that captures the ears of listeners by expressing explosive youth, particularly, the overwhelming punchline, romantic melody, and direct lyrics intersect without rest, creating a dynamic feeling in the music and performance. [3]

Commercial performance

In 2016, the EP sold over 100,000 units in South Korea. [4] It peaked at number two on the weekly Gaon Album Chart. [5]

The title track "Fighter" debuted at number eight on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart upon its release and five years later, in 2021, the song "Be Quiet" debuted at number fourteen. [6] [7]
