The unit consisting of Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Yesung promoted mostly in Japan, released various albums and even made concerts there, so this is their first album as a unit in South Korea. These true veterans of the K-pop stage have already teased fans with track lists and concept photos. The album will be released on 8 June.

Hip-hop band D-Crunch has already given joy to their fans with news of their new single 'Pierrot'. They released the long-awaited MV under the new agency Ai Grand Korea. All members of the group usually participate in the songwriting and choreography processes and the band proved themselves, talented artists, within just four months of their debut back in 2018 when they won the Focus Award at the Asia Artist Awards, following that up by winning a Rising Star Award in 2019.
- DKB
Brave Entertainment's rookie boy group DKB, who debuted in February this year with the EP 'Youth', and its lead single 'Sorry Mama', are set to release their second EP, titled 'Love', on 25 May, just four months after their debut.
