The group 82MAJOR (Nam Sung-mo, Park Seok-jun, Yoon Ye-chan, Jo Sung-il, Hwang Sung-bin, Kim Do-gyun) revealed a new logo on the 19th and confirmed a comeback on April 14th.

This comeback is 82MAJOR‘s first new album in about 6 months since their 2nd mini-album ‘X-82’ (X-82) released last year. 82MAJOR plans to present music and performances with even higher quality than before.

82MAJOR, who debuted in 2023, ranked 45th on ‘Billboard Album Sales’, 37th on ‘Current Album Sales’, 24th on ‘Emerging Artist’, and 15th on ‘World Sales’ with their 2nd mini-album ‘X-82’, entering the Billboard charts just one year after their debut. Also, they ranked 6th on the US DRT’s ‘GLOBAL TOP 150 INDEPENDENT AIRPLAY CHART’.

Not only that, 82major has decorated numerous domestic and international pictorials including the US fashion magazine WWD, Dazed, Marie Claire, and Allure Korea. They were also given special attention by foreign media such as Rolling Stone. In addition, they won two awards at the ‘1st Dear Awards’, establishing themselves as a rising star in the 5th generation K-pop.

In addition, 82major successfully concluded their third solo concert of the year, ‘82MAJOR BOOM’. All tickets for the third performance were sold out, and additional performances were held thanks to the enthusiastic support of fans.

The surprise camera video of 82major‘s Park Seok-jun transforming into a Fresh Manager (Yakult salesperson) on the ‘Blip’ YouTube channel became a hot topic. In addition, they appeared on ‘Hong Seok-cheon’s Jewelry Box’, known as the gateway to becoming a handsome star, perfectly proving the modifier ‘Miracle of Small Faces’.

With their differentiated albums and stages, 82 Major has been showing off their own identity, and expectations are rising for what kind of music they will present this time.

82 Major‘s new album will be released simultaneously worldwide at 6 PM on April 14.
