Yang Hyun-suk stated, “The TREASURE members, who were in their mid-teens to early 20s at the time of their Debut, are now in their early to mid-20s and have all become adults.

BABYMONSTER will Comeback with a mini-album on October 10th. Excluding the previously released track “HOT SAUCE,” the album will consist solely of four new songs, with the Title Track being “WE GO UP.” Yang Hyun-suk explained, “It is an intense track based on hip-hop, and we will release a conceptual music video along with choreography footage of equally high quality.” The album will also feature tracks that competed as candidates for the Title Track, such as “PSYCHO,” a slow song with hip-hop elements titled “SUPA DUPA LUV,” and a dance track in the country genre named “WILD.” Yang Hyun-suk assured smooth activities by saying, “We have completed about 80–90% of the recording for BABYMONSTER’s new songs to be released next year.” BLACKPINK will release a new album in November. This will be their first new album in 3 years and 2 months, following their second studio album “Born Pink” in September 2022. Yang Hyun-suk emphasized, “The members and the producers in charge are all preparing hard, and we will strive to release the album by November.” On the same day, YG unexpectedly released a choreography practice video for TREASURE’s new song “EVERYTHING,” further raising fans’ anticipation.
