Boy bands are churning out new releases in time for fall.
Returning with a new look just this week was the band GOT7, with the group’s first studio album in two years, “Flight Log: Turbulence,” released Tuesday. The music video for the album’s title track “Hard Carry” was also unveiled on the same day.
SHINee also announced new releases Tuesday. The five-member act will roll out its fifth full-length album “1 of 1” on Oct. 5 at midnight, according to the group’s management agency S.M. Entertainment.

Earlier this month, one of the most anticipated comebacks of the year took place with first-generation K-pop boy band Sechs Kies returning to the stage 16 years after disbanding.
During two sold-out concerts in Seoul, five of the band’s six original members performed a new track, “Three Words.” They have signed a three-year contract with YG Entertainment and are reportedly working on a new album.
