Officials at Cube Entertainment announced on Tuesday that popular boy band BEAST’s new EP will drop on June 16.

According to a press release from Cube, the soon-to-be-released sixth EP will feature seven singles and mark BEAST’s first release since it unveiled its second studio album, “Hard to Love, How to Love,” last July. The album featured the group’s popular hit singles “Will You Be Alright?” and “Shadow” and topped the local music charts.

In the past year, the members of BEAST have continued to pursue individual projects outside of the group. Yang Yoseop is starring in the newly premiered musical “Full House,” while Yong Jun-hyung released a solo EP last December.
