E’LAST Confirms First Major Comeback For October 2023

E’LAST is getting ready for their first major comeback of the year! The boy group has just confirmed that they will be releasing new music in October. This is set to be the idols’ first album to be dropped since last year’s ‘Roar’!

E’LAST Confirms First Major Comeback Since ‘Roar’

E’LAST thrilled fans with a social media announcement on September 24, regarding their highly anticipated upcoming release. The group is set to make their mark on the October music scene with the launch of their 4th mini album, titled “iDENTIFICATION,” scheduled for October 17, 2023.

Since dropping the teaser, E’LAST also shared the official scheduler for their upcoming release. It confirms that they will begin releasing concept photos on September 27. The concept videos will then commence on October 6 while the track list will be unveiled on October 12. Finally, fans can hear the highlight medley on the 13th.

This comeback marks E’LAST’s first significant return of the year, following their earlier release of the digital single “Thrill.” Their previous 3rd mini album, ‘Roar,’ had made its debut in April 2022. Fans are eagerly anticipating the group’s new mini album and the fresh music it will bring to their growing discography.

‘iDENTIFICATION’ will be E’LAST’s first release without Seungyeop who is currently serving in the military. In January 2023, it was confirmed that Seungyeop would enter the mandatory military service at the 28th Infantry Division Military Enlistment Training Center.

E’LAST made their debut in June 2020, with their first EP ‘Day Dream’ with the title track “Swear.” The group’s debut EP held a special significance as it featured contributions from members Rano, Baekgyeul, Won Hyuk, and Wonjun, who were actively involved in writing and composing songs for the album. E’LAST, under the banner of E Entertainment, proudly holds the distinction of being the first group to emerge from the agency. Their name, E’LAST, is derived from the term “Everlasting,” symbolizing both “Eternity” and “Infinity,” reflecting the group’s ambition and commitment to leaving an enduring mark in the world of K-pop.

E’LAST Agency To Take Legal Action Against Tour Organizer Following NYC Concert Cancellation

E’LAST has been forced to cancel a concert in New York at the last minute and their agency isn’t happy. E Entertainment announced they are taking legal action against the US tour organizer.

E’LAST Agency To Take Legal Action Against US Tour Organizer

E Entertainment recently issued a statement regarding E’LAST’s New York concert scheduled for May 21. According to the agency, they were informed of the show’s cancellation by tour organizer MC Entertainment. Despite their best efforts, the agency could not find a way to push through with the concert.

In the same statement, E Entertainment announced they will take legal action against MC Entertainment for “breach of contract.”

“During the past month or so that we have been on tour, MC Entertainment has not fulfilled various parts of their contract, such as not having booked airplane tickets or hotel rooms, not having made proper preparations in advance at concert venues, pressuring [E’LAST] to hold concerts at venues where it would be impossible to hold a concert, and more,” the statement read.

“However, out of consideration for the local fans who had been waiting for this tour, both our agency and the artist tried as much as we could to proceed with the concerts whenever possible,” it continued.

“We will take all legal action that we can against this breach of contract, and we decided to take legal action against MC Entertainment in order to prevent these kinds of incidents from occurring in the future,” the statement concludes.

E’LAST ‘THRILL’ Tour Faces Several Problems

E’LAST kicked off the North American leg of their ‘THRILL’ tour earlier in May. However, each show was criticized for poor mismanagement by the organizer. According to fans, the concerts would start late and they would be kicked out of the venue without receiving merchandise they paid for. In addition to that, several meet-and-greet and hi-touch events that were scheduled after the concert never took place.

E’LAST is not the only South Korean group that is affected by MC Entertainment’s poor organization. WEi was previously forced to cancel the Latin America leg of their ‘PASSION’ world tour due to issues with the organizer.
