K-pop girl group ITZY is set to drop its fresh album "Guess Who," April 30, according to its agency, JYP Entertainment.

JYP disclosed a poster for the new release on the band's official Twitter, Monday. It features the title of the album ― written in red ― against a black backdrop. The company has not yet disclosed details such as the names of the composers and the lyricists behind the songs.

"In a recent interview with the American magazine Forbes, the members revealed that their new tunes will come as a surprise for their fans," JYP said in a statement. "They also said they would come up with offbeat dance moves and styling to showcase something different this time."

ITZY, consisting of Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong and Yuna, debuted in 2019 with the track "Dalla Dalla." It was JYP's first all-girl group after TWICE, which was launched in 2015. After grabbing the No. 1 spot on a Korean music show with "Dalla Dalla" only 10 days after its debut, the quintet put out a series of hits including "Icy" (2019) and "Not Shy" (2020). In 2020, the act also kicked off its promotional activities in 11 regions around the world including Los Angeles.

On March 20, IZTY held the online fan event "FAN PARTY LIVE" and unveiled "Midzy," a song dedicated to its fans.

"Through the piece, we want to bring comfort to people amid this challenging time," ITZY said during the event. "We also hope it can successfully deliver how thankful we are to receive so much love."

"Guess Who" is scheduled for release at 1 p.m. (KST) April 30.
