K-pop boy group THE BOYZ is officially preparing to return to the spotlight this July with a much-anticipated comeback—this time as a nine-member group.
On June 27, their agency ONE HUNDRED confirmed the news, stating that the group is currently working towards a July comeback, stirring excitement among fans worldwide.
This upcoming release will be their first since the departure of Ju Haknyeon, who was officially removed from the group just one week prior following contractual disputes and internal disagreements.
His exit came as a shock to fans, particularly in light of the back-and-forth statements between Ju Haknyeon and the agency, including his claim that he was unilaterally removed and plans to take legal action.
The group will also be moving forward without their leader Sangyeon, who enlisted for mandatory military service in March, marking another major transition in their lineup and leadership dynamic.
Despite these changes, THE BOYZ seems determined to charge ahead. The group will be returning with renewed energy and unity as nine members, aiming to reassure their fandom, THE B, of their unwavering commitment to music and performance.
Their upcoming comeback is just the beginning of what promises to be a busy second half of the year.
Shortly after their new music drops, THE BOYZ will launch their latest world tour titled “THE BLAZE,” kicking off with a three-day concert from August 8 to 10 at the KSPO Dome in Seoul.
With this tour, they will not only reconnect with their fans in Korea but also meet global audiences, signaling a bold new chapter for the group.
THE BOYZ’s return comes at a pivotal time, following not only member changes but also increased public scrutiny.
However, with a history of successful releases, passionate performances, and a dedicated fanbase, their July comeback may well prove to be a powerful statement of resilience and artistic evolution.
As more details about the comeback—such as the album concept, title track, and promotional plans—are expected to be revealed soon, fans are encouraged to stay tuned.
For now, anticipation is building as THE BOYZ prepares to light up the summer with fresh music, a global tour, and a reaffirmation of their place in the ever-competitive K-pop landscape.
