According to the agency, the duo — comprised of members Sehun and Chanyeol — will drop its album "1 Billion Views" and reveal nine tracks to heat up the summer.

Exo-SC was launched in July last year with its first EP "What a Life" and showed off the two members' hip music style that especially highlighted their skills as rappers.

Preorders for the new album began Tuesday.
