FT Island will make a comeback with its seventh full album on July 10, according to a local media report on Friday.
Agency FNC Entertainment said that the band is preparing to release an LP next month following the report.

Before releasing the album, the trio will hold a concert in Seoul June 29-30, about six months after its end-of-year concert, “FTSode.” Last year, it toured eight cities in Asia for tour “Hey Day” as well.
Meanwhile, the band marked its 17th anniversary of debut on Friday.

Girl group Weki Meki will drop digital single “CoinciDestiny” on June 12, said agency Fantagio Friday.
The management company uploaded a poster showing the eight members running around on a green field having fun together. The single will be the first full-group effort in over 2 1/2 years since fifth EP “I Am Me.”
But as the accompanying phrase -- “Forever remembering us who came upon each other by chance and glowed together dreaming of destiny” – suggests, it will be the last music the octet will be putting out together.
The group debuted in 2017 and made news for the fact that the members included Kim Doyeon and Choi Yoojung, who were part of I.O.I. Weki Meki’s contract with the agency is set to expire in August.
