The five boys -- Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, Yeonjun and Huening Kai -- celebrated their return with a fan showcase event on Saturday evening.
Held at the Kyung Hee University Grand Peace Palace in Seoul, the 100-minute event took the audience deeper into the new album through performances and sharing sessions.
It wasn't just the new songs they brought to the stage that night. The five showed off their vocal prowess in a reintroduction of their past hits, "Crown," "Blue Hour," "Sugar Rush Ride" and "Runaway," through an acoustic version medley.
