TREASURE will make a comeback with "KING KONG." YG ENTERTAINMENT released the new song title of TREASURE on the 16th, evoking a character from a movie who sacrifices themselves for their loved one. Following the release of the unfinished message "MY LOVE IS LIKE ________" through visuals and posters warning of the appearance of a "powerful presence," attention is increasing. The newly released poster also exudes an unusual atmosphere. Amidst gray clouds enveloping the darkness, a shining majestic structure emits a mysterious aura, increasing curiosity about the concept that TREASURE will unveil. The glamorous lineup engraved on top caught the eye. Members Choi Hyunsuk and Yoshi are credited for the lyrics, with producer team AiRPLAY, Jared Lee, CHOICE37 providing support. TREASURE's digital single "KING KONG" will be released on the 28th at 6 p.m. YG stated, "We have maximized the members' unique high energy and strong charisma. With a trendy sense of distinctive sound, you can enjoy a fresh charm different from TREASURE's conventional music." TREASURE is currently on their second Asia tour "2024 TREASURE RELAY TOUR [REBOOT]" with 9 performances in 5 cities. After a successful first performance in Manila, they will have fun with local fans in Hong Kong on May 18, Bangkok from May 23 to 26, Kuala Lumpur on June 22, and Jakarta from June 29 to 30.
