About BabyMonster, he said, “The performance video for ‘Like That’ composed by Charlie Puth, which fans are currently most looking forward to, will be released within this month. You can look forward to that.” "We will definitely release a full album in either September or October,” he said.
Before this, one of the songs in the studio album will be released “sometime early July.”
“We are planning the M/V and broadcasting activities for the next song,” he said.
About Treasure, which debuted in 2020, Yang Hyun-suk said, “Treasure’s last full album was released on July 28, 2023.”
“We're presenting a new song to our fans after 10 months. During this time, Treasure has been very busy. They're currently on an Asia tour too. Fortunately, we have a 2-3 week break period, which allows us the opportunity to introduce a song called ‘King Kong.’ So I feel very happy about that,” he said.
“King Kong,” a digital single, will be released on May 28.
“I think it might be quite different from the music Treasure has released so far. The keyword ‘King Kong’ itself is very strong so I believe they'll present explosive energy with a very strong performance,” he said.
He added, “Please support the new song 'King Kong' being revealed after 10 months, and I promise to give my all for the Treasure album that will be released this fall.”
Treasure held their “2024 Treasure Relay Tour: Reboot” concert in Manila on May 4 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
