Despite the hard times that COVID-19 has caused the entertainment industry, artists are still trying to give their fans music while continuing to inspire with dance and concepts. Here are some K-pop releases coming from boy bands:
- Super Junior
E.L.Fs ( the name of the fandom of Super Junior) really won the prize this May as sub-unit K.R.Y of the veteran K-Pop boy band is set to release its first Korean album in 14 years 'When We Were Us!'.
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.
