The werewolves are making their comeback nearly one year after their Korean debut. Early last November, the title track of &TEAM’s first Korean mini-album BACK TO LIFE achieved a three-show sweep. Now, the global group is releasing their second Korean mini-album titled Mark on Me, which is set to release on Sept. 8 at 18:00 (KST).
With the drop only being a few days away, here’s everything you need to know about this comeback.*
Concept
&TEAM are known for their werewolf concept, and they continue to deliver with this album.
Based on the prologue video and trailer on the HYBE LABELS and &TEAM YouTube channels, Mark on Me paints a picture of “the wolf who loved Red”, an allusion to the story of Red Riding Hood. A wolf (werewolf) that was shunned and always alone feels the warmth of a human for the first time. This human takes the time to understand them and is willing to walk with them when no one else would. Over time, this presence tames the wolf’s heart. For the first time, the wound they had that everyone, including themself, saw as an ugly scar is seen as just a mark.
Tracklist
The tracklist includes six songs:
‘Mark on Me’ (title)
‘Good Boy’
‘러브장’ (romanized as "Love Jang" on streaming platforms)
‘Accelerate’
‘Empty’
‘Night to howl!’
Notably, Benson Boone is credited on the title track ‘Mark on Me’, and all five members of CORTIS are credited as writers on ‘Good Boy’, with Martin of CORTIS also being credited for additional production. Considering how different CORTIS and &TEAM’s music styles are, ‘Good Boy’ is a track to anticipate hearing.
Fans can, however, get a sneak peak. Posted to HYBE LABELS’ and &TEAM’s YouTubes on Sep. 2, a highlight melody revealed that Mark on Me’s songs range from ‘90s R&B and hip-hop sounds to pop-punk and alt-rock ballads. Fans (called LUNÉ) can listen to the provided snippets while they wait for the full release.
