Girl group KEP1ER has kicked off the countdown to its comeback by releasing a detailed scheduler.
The group KEP1ER (made up of Yujin, Xiaoting, Chaehyun, Dayeon, Hikaru, Huening Bahiyyih, and Youngeun) revealed a packed scheduler marking the start of its countdown to their return on August 19, with the release of their 7th mini-album, titled “BUBBLE GUM.”
Unveiled on August 5, the scheduler features a retro design reminiscent of a vintage flyer, sparking curiosity and interest. Fully embodying the playful and intuitive aesthetic suggested by the album title “BUBBLE GUM,” the visual schedule incorporates elements like chewing gum wrappers and cartoon-style illustrations layered over a vintage texture, creating a pop-art vibe and piquing fans’ interest about the album’s concept.
According to the schedule, concept films and photos will be released from August 6 to 9, followed by a highlight medley on August 10. Additional content such as previews, character films, the official “BUBBLE GUM” music video, and finally the album release will round out the promotional timeline. The dense release plan, particularly the volume of concept photos and videos, has fans eagerly anticipating the members’ upgraded visuals.
Set to make a splash in what’s shaping up to be one of the hottest K-pop summers yet, KEP1ER had already captured global attention with surprise teaser images for “BUBBLE GUM,” showcasing its bright, bubbly energy and fresh pop-girl charm. This marks their first comeback since the release of their 6th mini-album “TROUBLESHOOTER” in November 2023, meaning fans have been waiting nearly nine months. All eyes are on what new and exciting musical color KEP1ER will bring to this summer showdown.
