Bridging Eras: Concept and Visuals
The visual masterpiece perfectly illustrated the vast 30-year time difference, showcasing the seven talented members – Michi, Arin, Caitlyn, Bom, Seohyun, Aurora, and Nahyun – in iconic fashion styles from each era. We’re talking about a serious throwback vibe, with the 1990s depicted through vibrant streetwear that perfectly captured the decade’s rebellious and free-spirited essence, contrasted sharply with the sleek, trendy casual looks representing 2026. The intriguing tagline, “Beyond time, me, you, all of us,” gives us a thrilling hint at the core theme: a narrative that beautifully connects different generations and experiences across the fabric of time.
The Story Unfolds: Nahyun’s Time-Traveling Adventure
The drama “3! 4!” isn’t just a standalone production; it’s intricately linked to AtHeart’s second single, also titled “3! 4!”, which is part of their exciting “Time Travel Project” and drops on August 19. This K-pop adventure promises to be a rollercoaster, shifting between the vibrant past of 1996 and the modern world of 2026, all while emphasizing a timeless message: no matter how much the world changes, the burning passion and unwavering dreams of youth remain constant.

There, she encounters a trio of girls known as “Samsunssu,” who are diligently preparing for an audition. Nahyun finds herself leading a thrilling double life, balancing her identity as a celebrated 2026 idol with the challenges of being a 1996 audition trainee.
