The group WHIB is making a full-group comeback with their first mini album.
WHIB (Kim Jun-min, Ha Seung, Jin-beom, Yoo Geon, Lee Jeong, Jae-ha, Onejoon) will return to the music scene with their first mini album, "ROCK THE NATION," to be released in January.
At 12 a.m. on the 14th, a coming-soon teaser video announcing the release of "ROCK THE NATION" was released on WHIB's official social media accounts and YouTube channel. The video focused attention by showing a gray city and destroyed buildings, followed by a TV displaying a noisy screen. Immediately after, the striking phrase WE ROCK THE NATION and the album title appeared on the TV screen in sequence, raising curiosity about the album.
"ROCK THE NATION" is WHIB's first comeback release after reorganizing into a seven-member group. WHIB announced their January comeback during the Asia fan concert tour AnD : New Chapter, which ran from November through January and visited five cities—Seoul, Tokyo, Bangkok, Osaka and Taipei—heating up global fans' expectations.
WHIB, who debuted in 2023 with their first single album Cut-Out, released multiple single albums including ETERNAL YOUTH : KICK IT, Rush of Joy and BANG OUT, showcasing polished performances and a wide musical spectrum. In particular, they demonstrated endless potential as a "hexagonal idol" by expressing diverse concepts with a different key color for each album.
Entering their third year since debut, WHIB is expected to demonstrate greater musical growth with their first mini album this year. Last year, members Kim Jun-min, Lee Jeong and Onejoon appeared on Mnet's Boys Planet 2, leaving a strong impression on K-pop fans with their outstanding skills. Afterwards, they solidified their global fandom by proving full-group synergy through their fan concert tour.
Specific information, including the release date and time of WHIB's mini album 1st "ROCK THE NATION," which will mark the group's full-scale leap after reorganizing as a seven-member group, will be revealed later through teasers.
