Get ready for a special treat as K-pop group The KingDom announces a surprise comeback with a special album, set to drop on the 23rd at 6 PM. This release is a heartfelt gift for their dedicated fandom, 'King Makers', who have shown unwavering support.

However, the comeback news is tinged with a bit of bittersweetness. Leader Dan has begun his mandatory military service earlier than anticipated, following guidance from the Military Manpower Administration. Consequently, The KingDom will continue their promotions as a five-member group moving forward.

Known for their unique Eastern fantasy concepts and 'cinematic idol' performances with each release, The KingDom is expected to once again weave their signature narrative and world-building into this special album. The release of a "History Of Kingdom is Back" teaser image further fuels anticipation for their continuing saga.

Since their debut in 2021, The KingDom has captivated audiences with their 'History Of Kingdom' series and subsequent Chapter 2 storyline, garnering significant achievements both domestically and internationally. They notably became the first 4th-generation idol group to top five US Amazon Music charts and have consecutively charted in the Billboard 'World Digital Song Sales' TOP10, expanding their global fanbase rapidly.

The KingDom is a six-member boy group that debuted in 2021.

They are recognized as 'cinematic idols' for their unique Eastern fantasy concepts introduced early in their career.

The group's universe unfolds through the 'History Of Kingdom' series, noted for its distinctive storytelling within the K-pop industry.
