Boy band Victon will release a new album in late May, according to its agency IST Entertainment on Monday.

The band has announced a speedy comeback, four months after its third single “Chronograph” in January. "Chronograph" saw moderate success, entering the top 10 on the iTunes Top Songs charts in four nations.

Whether the new release will be a full-length album or an EP will be announced in the future, along with other details.

Victon debuted in 2016 and has released songs “I’m fine” (2016), “Time of Sorrow” (2018), “Mayday” (2020) and “What I Said” (2021). The band was a late bloomer, winning its first No. 1 on a music show in 2019.

The band consists of seven members: Seungwoo, Seungsik, Chan, Sejun, Hanse, Byungchan and Subin.
