Boy band Treasure will release its second full-length album "Reboot" on July 28, earlier than initially announced.

YG Entertainment and its executive producer Yang Hyun-suk announced on June 12 that the boy band will drop its second full-length album in August.

"We are glad to announce a July 28 comeback, earlier than originally announced," the agency said Tuesday.

"We hope you anticipate 'Reboot,' which will be Treasure's new beginnings."

Yang said last month that the upcoming album will be a "reboot, like a computer reboot."

While the details about the album, including its themes, are yet to be announced, the teaser revealed Tuesday shows the members dressed up in suits, staring at the camera.

The agency also debuted Treasure's first subunit, T5, last Thursday. T5 also debuted earlier than the July debut date previously announced.

The boy band will partner with Columbia Records in its U.S. activities when it releases its second full-length album, "Reboot," according to YG Entertainment on Monday.

Treasure is a 10-member boy band that was formed under YG Entertainment's audition show, "YG Treasure Box" (2018–19). The boy band officially debuted in August 2020 with its debut single, "The First Step: Chapter One."
