Boy band OneWe will release its third EP “Planet Nine: Isotropy” on April 17, said agency RBW Entertainment on Wednesday.
A teaser clip for the album showed the names of its albums from the “Planet Nine” series and hinted that the band will maintain its identity while building upon its musical capabilities, as the new subtitle suggests.
It will be the first full-group effort since January last year when the five-member act brought out its first full album in English, “Gravity.” Since then, some of the bandmates have completed their military duties while the remaining members published songs they had written.
On May 4-5, OneWe will hold a standalone concert in Seoul to celebrate the reunion.
