The group P1Harmony (Theo, Jiwoong, Intak, Soul, Jongseob) is solidifying its global presence with the mini album 'DUH!'.
P1Harmony will make a comeback in the music industry on May 8 with the mini album 'DUH!' after about eight months. The new album 'DUH!' humorously expresses P1Harmony's overflowing confidence and depicts the distinctive hero who has declared a hero's strike following the previous work, which focused on the emptiness of a hero. P1Harmony is raising expectations by announcing a high-quality album through sensory comeback promotional content.
The day after the comeback, on the 9th, 'DUH!' will be released as a physical album in the U.S., targeting the local market. The group is determined to establish its position as a global trend by building on the achievements it has steadily accumulated, breaking career highs with every album both domestically and internationally.
P1Harmony made its first entry into the U.S. Billboard main album chart 'Billboard 200' with its mini album 'HARMONY: ALL IN' in 2023. Following that, the first full album 'Killin' It' and the mini album 'SAD SONG' achieved three consecutive entries into the chart, consistently recording higher rankings than previous works, proving its rising prominence with figures. In particular, the recent work 'SAD SONG,' released in September of last year, recorded 16th on the 'Billboard 200' and was recognized musically when it was selected as one of the '25 Best K-Pop Albums of 2024: Staff Picks' announced by Billboard at the end of last year.
Notable growth has also been seen in performances. P1Harmony successfully completed its second world tour 'P1ustage H: UTOP1A,' which visited 24 cities worldwide, with a performance at the Atlas Arena in Lodz, Poland, in January this year. As their first world tour in 2023, P1Harmony expanded the foundation of their overseas activities by interacting closely with local fans in 39 cities. In their second tour, they achieved remarkable growth, including entering arena-level performance venues for the first time and consistently selling out shows.
Recently, P1Harmony gained attention by being named the Korean ambassador for the global record event 'Record Store Day' held in April and selected in the 'K-pop Artist of the Year' institutional sector. P1Harmony became the second K-pop artist ever to be included in that sector, further proving its elevated global stature.
Given the steep global rise recorded at this time and the anticipation for the new album, expectations are naturally growing for what achievements P1Harmony will accomplish next. In particular, P1Harmony has consistently solidified its team's identity with a clear concept and innovative musical attempts with each album, so attention is focused on their justified confidence contained in the upcoming album 'DUH!'.
