Latar Belakang

Pada 28 Februari 2022, diumumkan bahwa Shin Ji-yoon akan mengambil jeda sementara dikarenakan ketegangan dan kecemasan, oleh karena itu dia tidak akan berpartisipasi dalam promosi.^[2] The group released Play Game: Awake on March 7, featuring "Ven Para" as the lead single.^[3]

Reception

Rhian Daly of NME gave the album three stars out of five. Rhian described the lead single, "Ven Para" as "messy and jarring" but praised one of the verses as "a nice respite from the discordance". "Solar" was said as "much more cohesive and powerful, but still struggles to really make its mark". "Where Is My Love?" was criticized for "missing that special spark" but complemented for its "soulful piece of soft pop".^[4]
