The upcoming project will mark the singerâs first release since signing to new agency GF Entertainment. Bang Yedam left boy band TREASURE and YG Entertainment in 2022.
At the time, the company shared that the singer and follow former TREASURE bandmate Mashiho had ended their contracts on a mutual basis after a âlong and carefulâ discussion.
Bang first entered the public eye as a contestant on SBSâs K-pop Star Season 2 in 2012, where he finished in second place after brother-sister duo AKMU. He later signed with the K-pop agency and underwent several years of training before competing in YG Treasure Box in 2018, through which the group was formed.
TREASURE debuted with the single album âThe First Step: Chapter Oneâ and its lead track âBoyâ in 2020. With Bangâs participation, the boy band went on to release hits like âJikjinâ and the TikTok-viral âDarariâ in early 2022.
