Beyond Beauty is the debut extended play by South Korean girl group MSNZ, a collection of four sub-units – Moon, Sun, Neptune, and Zenith – of TripleS. Beyond Beauty was released on November 24, 2025 by Modhaus and distributed by Kakao Entertainment.
The EP contains six tracks, including the intro track "Magic Shine New Zone" and five simultaneously released lead singles: "Cameo Love" by Moon, "Bubble Gum Girl" by Sun, "Fly Up" by Neptune, "Q&A" by Zenith, and "Christmas Alone", a Christmas single recorded by all 24 members of TripleS.
On September 3, 2025, TripleS announced a new project called MSNZ which would split the group into four six-member sub-units named Moon, Sun, Neptune, and Zenith, each with a different concept.

The chosen songs were: "Cameo Love" for Moon, "Bubble Gum Girl" for Sun, "Fly Up" for Neptune, and "Q&A" for Zenith.

Composition
Beyond Beauty features a total of six tracks, each of which covering distinct genres and themes. The EP begins with the spoken word track "Magic Shine New Zone". It has lyrics in Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese which portray a gateway between dreams and reality. Neptune's "Fly Up" is a nu-disco track composed by group member Park So-hyun which uses a "la la la" hook found in other TripleS songs. It expresses themes of independence and letting go of self-doubt. Moon's track, "Cameo Love", is a drum-and-bass-inspired pop song. Thematically, it focuses on how one feels like they've been relegated to the role of a side character in a situation of unrequited love.
"Bubble Gum Girl" by Sun is a bright electronicpop song aesthetically inspired by Y2K and Frutiger Aero. It uses bubble gum and candy as a metaphor for the feeling of love. "Q&A" is a song about the excitement, bewilderment, and hope that come with one's first love. "Christmas Alone" is an electronic pop song with Jersey club elements recorded by all 24 members. It conveys a theme of how you can still experience joy from the holiday season even when you experience it alone.
