JUNGWON: I completely agree. NI-KI is undoubtedly one of the strongest dancers in our team, and I’m very grateful that he used his skills to enhance the quality of our performance.

DARK BLOOD'는 너를 잊은 소년의 오만과 저주, 자각, 희생의 이야기를 바탕으로 모든 곡이 고유한 테마를 갖는다. 자신의 운명을 깨닫고 각성한 소년의 서사를 극적으로 담은 첫 번째 트랙 'Fate', 운명의 상대와 재회해 증표를 다시 남기기를 바라는 타이틀곡 'Bite Me', 망각을 후회하고 희생을 각오하는 'Sacrifice (Eat Me Up)', 오만함으로 홀로 춤에 취해 타락하는 'Chaconne', 잃어버린 사랑으로 인한 이별의 괴로움을 노래한 'Bills', 우리가 전생에서부터 이어진 피로 연결된 운명임을 잊지 말라고 당부하는 마지막 트랙 'Karma'까지 총 6곡이 수록됐다. 각 곡은 소년의 이야기와 유기적으로 연결돼 'DARK BLOOD'가 내포한 메시지에 더욱 공감하게 한다.
