K-pop group The Boyz is set to make a comeback with their ninth EP, titled "Trigger," scheduled for release on October 28, according to IST Entertainment. The announcement comes as the group wraps up a year marked by both musical achievements and swirling rumors about their future in the industry.
The promotional visuals for "Trigger" reveal the album's title rendered in Chinese characters, illuminated by blue headlights, adding a touch of mystery and anticipation.

The tour, which concluded with a final show in Osaka on September 23, was met with enthusiastic response from fans worldwide, further cementing the group's position in the global K-pop scene.
As The Boyz gears up for the release of "Trigger," attention is also focused on their future with IST Entertainment. Local media recently reported that the group might be considering a new agency, sparking widespread speculation among fans and industry insiders. In response, IST Entertainment clarified that the group's exclusive contracts have not yet expired and that discussions with the members regarding their future are ongoing.
The news of a potential agency change has raised questions about how it might impact the group's upcoming promotional activities for "Trigger." Industry experts suggest that the timing of this album release could be strategically aligned to maintain momentum and engagement with their fanbase while negotiations with the agency continue.
"Trigger" is expected to continue showcasing The Boyz's dynamic and evolving sound, with fans eagerly anticipating what new elements the group will bring to their music and performance style. Known for their intricate choreography and engaging stage presence, The Boyz has steadily built a reputation as one of the most versatile acts in the K-pop industry.
While The Boyz's contract situation remains a topic of interest, IST Entertainment has reassured fans that the group is fully committed to delivering high-quality music and performances. The agency emphasized its dedication to supporting the band's artistic growth and ensuring that "Trigger" reaches a broad audience, both domestically and internationally.
With this comeback, The Boyz aims not only to captivate their existing fanbase but also to attract new listeners by pushing the boundaries of their artistic expression. The group's commitment to innovation, combined with their strategic release timing, suggests that "Trigger" could be one of their most impactful projects to date.
As the countdown to October 28 begins, The Boyz's loyal followers, known as "The B," are preparing to rally behind the group's new release while closely monitoring any updates on the group's agency status.
