The group is looking to further make a mark as they are set to release their first mini-album, Savage, this October. The six-track mini-album has a release date of October 5. Based on the S-tier visuals the group has released so far, aespa looks poised to eat this comeback up and leave zero crumbs.
ENHYPHEN IS RELEASING THEIR FIRST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM
ENHYPHEN has been having a great 202 so far thanks to the strong success of their BORDER: CARNIVAL EP and the virality of FEVER. And the group is poised to continue this success as they are gearing up to release their first full-length studio album. Entitled DIMENSION: DILEMMA, the album is slated to be released on October 12. Tamed-Dashed is set to be the title track while TXT’s Yeonjun will be featured in the song Blockbuster. Add to that the phenomenal visuals released so far, this may be shaping up to be their best comeback yet.
SEVENTEEN IS HAVING A COMEBACK
Following the release of their 8th mini-album, Your Choice, in June, SEVENTEEN is having their latest comeback. Back in August, Pledis confirmed that SEVENTEEN was preparing for a comeback in October and now it’s almost here. The group will be dropping their 9th mini-album, Attacca, this October 22 at 1 PM KST, 12 PM PH time. Rock With You will serve as their comeback single. SEVENTEEN though will be temporarily promoting as 11 members for this comeback as The8 and Jun are currently in China until the end of the year. From what we’ve seen so far, we’re getting dark, edgy, and bad boy vibes for this comeback.
BTS IS HAVING AN ONLINE CONCERT
BTS has been having an amazing year this 2021. (But then again, when did BTS have a bad year?) From topping the charts to speaking at the UN, the group has been killing it lately. While we wait for new BTS music to be released, the boys are once again going to be gracing the virtual stage. BTS is having an online concert called PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE this October 24. You can buy tickets at their Weverse shop. This will be their latest concert since SOWOZOO in June.
