K-pop sensation The Boyz are preparing for a grand comeback. The group recently unveiled concept photos for their second full-length album, Phantasy. However, its release won’t be traditional at all. As per the group’s agency, IST Entertainment, the album will be rolled out as a trilogy, making this comeback even more exciting for the fans.
The new photos are enchanting and heart-fluttering. They show Eric, Hyunjae, Jacob, Ju Haknyeon, Juyeon, Kevin, New, Q, Sangyeon, Sunwoo, and Younghoon swimming in a lush, paradise-like setting. As if that wasn’t enough, a second set of photos followed about an hour later. This set featured the members on vacation, hanging out, and doing different activities with each other. Both sets, called “PRESENT,” hint at the theme of the trilogy’s first installment, Christmas in August.
The Boyz, known for their dynamic stage presence (which helped them win Mnet’s Road to Kingdom in 2020), took a massive risk with these concept photos. Luckily, it paid off, as they piqued the fans’ interest, leaving them eager for the album. Today, the group dropped a third set called “GLITTER.” It’s more modest than the first two but no less captivating.
What else are The Boyz up to?
Christmas in August will hit stores and streaming services on August 7, 2023. This comeback marks the group’s return to music after six months. Moreover, this record comes about three and a half years after The Boyz’s first full-length album, Reveal, making it a highly anticipated return.
While preparing for their comeback, The Boyz are also touring Asia.
Despite their packed schedule, the group’s dedication to delivering new music to their fans remains unwavering. Fans worldwide are eager to see what the boys prepared for them. For now, all they can do is sit back, enjoy the sizzling concept photos, and speculate about what kind of album Phantasy will be. – K-Pop News Writer
