Jun of Seventeen will put out his fourth solo digital single in China on July 4, agency Pledis Entertainment announced Thursday.
The teaser video for the upcoming single, “Psycho,” opened with a view of the idol's back and showed a box wrapped up in chains fall and a moving logo change from Limbo to Psycho. “Limbo” is his previous solo single that came out about nine months before.
In the meantime, the band’s tenth EP “FML” from April is proving its staying power, having remained on the Billboard 200 for eight consecutive weeks -- a record streak for the band -- after hitting the chart at No. 2. The EP also continues building on its sales record. It sold more than 4.55 million copies in the first week, a K-pop record at the time, but added close to 1 million more over the last two months, a rarity in album sales.
