SM Entertainment, the group's agency, announced SuperM's comeback after 10 months on its social media Thursday with a teaser poster of the new album.
The septet will start promotions for the album on Aug. 14 with the pre-release of “100,” one of its tracks. Another song, “Tiger Inside,” will be released on Sept. 1.
“'Super One' will have songs that deliver encouraging messages of overcoming the ongoing difficulties as one,” the agency said.
The group, touted as “K-pop Avengers,” debuted last October with a self-titled mini-album. Its debut caused a buzz because of its lineup of members from globally acclaimed groups.
They are Taemin of SHINee, Baekhyun and Kai from EXO, Taeyong and Mark from NCT 127, and Ten and Lucas from WayV, a China-based band.
The group's first mini-album topped several charts, including the Billboard 200 albums chart.
“Super One” is slated to hit shelves on Sept. 25.
