IST Entertainment announced on the 27th, “ATBO has confirmed the release of its third mini-album ‘The Beginning: 飛上’ and will make a comeback on May 18.” ATBO is thus able to return to its fans about 7 months after its 2nd mini album 'The Beginning: 始作' released in October last year.
Earlier, at noon on the same day, the agency surprisingly released the comeback poster for the third mini album 'The Beginning: 飛上' through ATBO's official SNS channels, attracting the attention of global fans.
The released comeback poster evokes a retro sensibility with vintage colors and designs, adding to curiosity about the new album's concept. In addition, the release date and new album name 'The Beginning: 飛上 (The Beginning: Emergency)' were revealed, raising expectations for the comeback.
ATBO, who has released a total of 3 mini albums so far under one big theme called 'The Beginning', bloomed through the debut album '開花(Blooming)' and made a full-fledged start through the 2nd mini album '始作(Beginning)'. As announced, the new album 'Emergency' will portray the true image of the boys who will fly to higher heights. In particular, expectations are rising that we will be able to get a glimpse of the 'dazzling growth' of the seven boys who are properly 'prepared to fly'.
ATBO is a boy group that debuted on the K-pop scene with their debut song 'Monochrome (Color)' in July of last year. They were well received as a 'GOD Formance' group and won the '2022 Asia Model Awards' just 5 months after their debut. They recorded two ‘Rookie of the Year’ awards at major year-end awards ceremonies, including the ‘Rookie of the Year’ award in the singer category and the ‘AAA Focus’ at the ‘2022 Asia Artist Awards’.
In addition, ATBO has proven its global popularity and rapid growth with meaningful records, such as being selected as a notable new artist '2022 Choice' at the 'Melon Music Awards 2022', and ATBO is returning with a new mini-album 'The Beginning: Emergency'. K-pop fans are focusing their attention on what kind of charm will bring true 'emergency'.
Meanwhile, ATBO plans to sequentially release various comeback contents of the 3rd mini album 'The Beginning: Emergency' and begin a full-fledged comeback countdown. ATBO's 3rd mini album 'The Beginning: Emergency' will be available on major music sites at 6 PM on May 18th.
