Big Ocean, the first K-pop group composed of members hard of hearing, will release the single "Love Sign" on Sept. 9.

The release comes about six months after the band's third EP "The Greatest Battle" came out in March, its agency Parastar Entertainment said Friday.

The name of the upcoming single plays on the pickup line "What’s your sign?" that asks about a person’s zodiac sign, while also referencing sign language.
