The group &TEAM is set to debut in Korea and has announced various content. &TEAM revealed the promotion scheduler for their first Korean mini-album 'Back to Life' through their official SNS. According to the scheduler, &TEAM will start with the mood teaser 'BREATH' version on the 10th, followed by consecutive releases of concept photos and concept clips from the 13th to the 17th. Then, on the 20th, they will release a track sampler, on the 21st the tracklist, and on the 22nd the highlight medley.
At midnight on the 27th, the music video teaser for the title track will be released, and on the same day at 6 PM, the title track's audio and music video will be pre-released. Finally, at 6 PM on the 28th, &TEAM's first Korean mini-album 'Back to Life' will be released worldwide. The album title 'Back to Life' means 'to revive,' and the scheduler's graphic design features vital signs. It includes a waveform graph reminiscent of a heartbeat and marks each schedule, signaling the start of &TEAM's new chapter.
&TEAM's narrative is structured around the flow of 'BREATH,' 'GAZE,' and 'ROAR.' Next to the box plot engraved with the team identity 'Wolf DNA' and the phrase 'Back to Life,' there is a mark indicating that when the moon waxes, they will 'Awaken,' hinting at &TEAM's evolved journey.
&TEAM was formed in 2022 through HYBE's global boy group debut project '&AUDITION - The Howling -.' They surpassed 1 million cumulative shipments with their third single 'Go in Blind,' released last April, and received their first 'Million' certification from the Japan Record Association. Interest in &TEAM is also growing in Japanese media.
Ahead of &TEAM's Korean debut, the six-episode documentary program '&TEAM 100 Days Close-up: Howling out to the World,' which captures their approximately 100-day journey, recently premiered on Nippon TV. The first episode of this program was also released on &TEAM's official YouTube channel, where the members expressed, "We will not forget our gratitude to LUNÉ (the fandom name) who has walked with us, and we want to succeed in our Korean debut with the determination to start anew from the beginning."
&TEAM plans to further expand their global fanbase through their Korean debut. They are preparing various activities to strengthen their position in the K-pop market and prioritize communication with fans. &TEAM's debut is expected to be an important milestone that will create a new trend in K-pop.
Along with this, &TEAM will strengthen their bond with domestic and international fans through their activities in Korea. They plan to expand communication with fans through various performances and fan meetings and establish themselves as key players leading the globalization of K-pop.
&TEAM's Korean debut is anticipated to bring a fresh breeze to the K-pop market. Through their debut album, they will establish their musical color and team identity and leave a strong impression on global fans. &TEAM's future activities are expected to brighten the future of K-pop even more.
