EVNNE readies new album, reality show

Boy band EVNNE will release a new album next month, its agency Jellyfish Entertainment announced Tuesday.

The upcoming album is set to be the quintet’s first musical work since its first single “Backtalk” was released in April.

Other details of the forthcoming release have not been shared.

Ahead of the release, the group will meet fans through the reality show “EVNNE Hour,” airing on Mnet and streaming on the broadcaster’s digital channel M2 starting Friday. The members are expected to show their offstage moments during their stay in Sapporo, Japan.

EVNNE consists of Lee Jeong-hyeon, Keita, Park Han-bin, Mun Jung-hyun and Park Ji-hoo. Although it was launched as a seven-member project group in 2023, it became a quintet after two members left the group last year.
