POW Announces Comeback with New Single 'Come True', Sampling m-flo's Hit

POW has officially set their comeback date, marking their first major move in 2026. Member Yochi, who joined Big Hit Music's Trainee A program around 2021, continued as a trainee but left after their debut plans fell through in 2022. He was reportedly preparing to debut with Alphadrive One's Lee Sang-won and Ilio.

POW (Yochi, Hyunbin, Jungbin, Dongyeon, Hong) has confirmed their comeback for the 28th, unveiling both a title poster and a plan poster, kicking off the countdown to their return. The title poster, released on their official social media on the 15th, announced the release of their single album 'COME TRUE' and the title track 'Come True,' instantly heightening fans' anticipation.

The new track 'Come True' samples the iconic song 'Come Again' by Japan's renowned artist m-flo. Taku Takahashi, a member and producer of m-flo, personally participated in the production, enhancing the track's quality. Additionally, Shin On-yu, the vocalist of the band Shin Inryu, contributed to the track by featuring, writing, and composing, adding a fresh vibe. 'Come True,' reinterpreted in POW's unique style, promises to deliver a sound that bridges generations and offers a new emotional experience, raising listeners' expectations.

According to the plan poster, POW will sequentially release various content, including 'Imaginary Scenario' on the 16th, 'Sound Sampler' on the 23rd, and a music video teaser for 'Come True' on the 27th. These promotional materials will provide a glimpse into the album's atmosphere and concept ahead of the comeback.

In early January, POW hinted at their return with a motion teaser stating, "Dreams come true in 2026. POW coming this January." Over the past year, POW has made a significant impact with their unprecedented 'four comebacks in one year' strategy, engaging in music activities, performances, original content, and charitable endeavors. Fans are eager to see what new heights POW will reach with this comeback.

Grid Entertainment stated, "Through their January comeback, POW will showcase their growth in music and maturity. Starting with the title and plan posters, they will continue to release various teaser content to engage with fans."

On the 28th, POW will debut their new track 'Come True,' opening a new chapter in 2026. As POW continues to expand their musical spectrum, anticipation builds around the impact of their latest comeback.
