All seven members of GOT7 will make a comeback in an eponymous EP on May 23, according to Warner Music Korea on Monday.

The last time the group created new music was for the digital single Encore from February last year. The previous physical album, its fourth, was Breath of Love: Last Piece, which came out in November 2020.

“The album is for those who have waited for us, and everyone who is there for us,” the bandmates said in a statement, describing the album as what best embodies them as well as a new beginning.

The septet debuted in 2014 with EP Got It? and has since released a series of hits, but did not renew their contracts with JYP Entertainment last year. Each member eventually signed under separate agencies but insisted the group did not disband.

Separately, Yugyeom held a standalone concert in Berlin last week, a first since he went solo. He also performed in Munich and Oberhausen. – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
