Boy band Astro will return to the music scene with its eighth EP “Switch On” on Aug. 2.

At 12 p.m. Monday, its agency Fantagio Music released a moving poster on its social media channels, with the title of the EP switching into various colors. In the background were various objects such as a rainbow-colored Jenga, pastel-colored matches, an hourglass hologram and parrot ornament sprawled across a blue table, creating a tropical vibe.

Its upcoming EP marks the band’s return to the music scene just three months since the release of its second full-length album “All Yours” in April.

Astro seems intent on interacting with fans as much as possible ahead of the release, allowing them a glimpse into their lives through a reality series on YouTube, titled “Astro Zone.” The first and second episodes are available on Astro’s official YouTube channel “Astro.”
