&TEAM released the concept photo and concept clip GAZE ver. for their first Korean mini album 'Back to Life' on Tuesday, October 28. As a new step to realize 'Japan to Global,' &TEAM is set to debut in Korea with the release of their first mini album 'Back to Life' on Tuesday, October 28. The Korean first mini album 'Back to Life' is the latest work that expresses the instinctive and challenging spirit of the wolf, which is &TEAM's identity. This work depicts the growth of boys who continue to instinctively move forward towards the future despite facing setbacks and trials, and is expected to be a work that challenges a wide range of musicality. The Mood Teaser GAZE ver. was released on Tuesday, October 14 at 6 PM, and the appearance of HARUA, who seems to have wings sprouting from his back, has heightened fan attention. The concept photo GAZE ver. released on Wednesday, October 15 at 6 PM shows the nine members surrounded by wings as feathers dance around them. The impression has changed from the strong gaze that does not succumb to the wounds shown in the BREATH ver. released on October 13, to a gaze of strong determination sharpened in silence. Additionally, the concept clip GAZE ver. released on the same day shows members appearing one after another with wings sprouting from their backs. The large wings flapping and the members looking up at the wide sky, along with the changing signal from red to blue, symbolize &TEAM's leap towards the world, raising expectations even further. The atmosphere of the concept clip GAZE ver. conveys a strong courage to confront challenges with the power of the nine members, rather than just believing in a bright future. On Thursday, October 16 at 6 PM, the Mood Teaser for the third concept, ROAR ver., will finally be released, and on Friday, October 17 at 6 PM, the concept photo and concept clip for ROAR ver. are scheduled to be released. &TEAM has proven their immense popularity centered in Japan, with their third single 'Go in Blind (Moon Wolf)' released on April 23, 2025, surpassing total shipments of 1 million copies and achieving their first 'Million Certification' in the July Gold Disc certification. Furthermore, during their first Asia tour held from May to July, they attracted about 100,000 people across 15 performances in 9 cities, increasing their global attention. The Korean debut on October 28 will be the first step in &TEAM's challenge to step out from Japan to the world. On October 25 and 26, they are scheduled to hold encore performances of their Asia tour at the Saitama Super Arena, their largest venue. With a strong determination for their journey to global success, expectations are high for what kind of leap they will show.
