Boy band SF9 will be releasing a new EP next month titled “Scream,” though not all nine members participated in the EP, the boys’ label FNC Entertainment said Tuesday.

"Only six members of SF9 have participated in the upcoming EP as Youngbin and Inseong are currently serving their mandatory military service and Rowoon decided to focus on his acting as he’s filming a new drama series," the label said.

Rowoon has been active as an actor as well, known for his roles in JTBC drama series “She Would Never Know” (2021), KBS's “The King’s Affection” (2021) and MBC's “Tomorrow” (2022).

The upcoming EP, titled “The Wave OF9,” is the band’s 11th and will drop on July 13. The boy band released its last EP “Rumination” last November.

SF9 has nine members: Yoo Tae-yang, Youngbin, Zuho, Hwiyoung, Inseong, Rowoon, Jaeyoon, Dawon and Chani.

“For the upcoming EP, the boys tried to break away from their sexy image while showcasing a free and light-spirited mood,” the label said in a statement.
