Boy band Ghost9 [NEWS1]

Boy band Ghost9 is gearing up to release a new EP “Arcade: V” on April 7.

Maroo Entertainment released a schedule Monday of the band’s promotional activities leading up to the EP’s release. Ghost9 will disclose a tracklist for the EP on March 22, followed by a series of concept photographs from March 23 to 30. A music video teaser will be released on March 31. The band will also give a taste of what some of the songs sound like on April 1.

In January, the band wrapped up its “Into the NOW” concert series in the United States, which marked the end of the band’s “NOW” series, which began with its debut. Namoo Entertainment said the upcoming “Arcade: V” will be the beginning of a new “Arcade” series for the band.

Ghost9 made a pre-debut in 2020 with an EP “Pre Episode 1: Door.” The official “NOW” series began in 2021 with “NOW: Where We Are, Here,” which was released in March 2021, followed by “NOW: When We Are in Love” in June of the same year. Last September, its members Hwang Dong-jun and Lee Tae-seung left the band and Ghost9 became a seven-member band, although it's still called Ghost9.
