−77.82X−78.29 (pronounced "negative seventy-seven point eight two by negative seventy-eight point two nine" [3]) is the second extended play and fourth release by South Korean girl group Everglow. It was released on September 21, 2020, by Yuehua Entertainment. It is available in two versions, −77.82X and −78.29, and contains four tracks, with " La Di Da" released as the lead single.
The album is titled −77.82X−78.29 after the coordinates of Antarctica, which is featured on the album cover. During the showcase for the album, member E:U was asked about it; she explained, "All the albums we have released so far convey the 'Everglow universe'. It'll be quite fun putting together these clues about our story. I can't tell you everything yet, but the upcoming stories are equally enjoyable [...]". [4]
On September 7, 2020, Yuehua Entertainment revealed that Everglow would release their second mini-album titled −77.82X−78.29 on September 21. [5]
Concept images came out between September 8–10. [6] The tracklist was released on September 11, revealing four tracks: lead single " La Di Da", "Untouchable", "Gxxd Boy" and "No Good Reason"; the lyrics for "La Di Da" were co-written by member E:U. [7]
The music video teaser for "La Di Da" was released on September 16, [8] and the music video on September 21. [9]
According to Yuehua Entertainment, −77.82X−78.29 represents Everglow's "powerful and intense charisma", as compared to their previous works. The album is characterized by its bolder sound. [10]
The lead single, "La Di Da", falls in the uptempo electropop and retro categories, and its lyrical content is a "warning" to the "haters who are pretending and full of dissatisfaction in [this] confusing era". [10]
Everglow held a live showcase on September 21, where they performed "La Di Da" and "Untouchable". [11]
The group started promoting "La Di Da" on September 24 at Mnet's M Countdown, followed by performances on KBS' Music Bank, MBC's Show! Music Core and SBS' Inkigayo.
They broke their first week's sales, with their album selling more than 25,000 copies.
