To support the launch, the K-pop act will host pop-up store installations across South Korea, China, and Japan from June 6 to 12. The Seoul showcase will take place at I’Park Mall in Yongsan, while other stops include Beijing, Guangzhou, and Tokyo.
The events will include interactive experiences for fans. Visitors can pen letters to the band, with a few receiving personal replies from members. A stamp-based activity will also be available at each location, along with screening exclusive footage not previously released.
Access to these venues will require booking via the Weverse app, which opened for reservations at 11 am KST on 30th May.
The band's previous album, ROMANCE: UNTOLD, reflected notions of youthful fondness. However, their forthcoming project delves into a darker tone, centering on intricate feelings and intensified longing.
