Treasure is returning to their roots with “fundamental hip hop,” showing off their true colors without hold-backs. After honing their stage presence and live performance skills through massive overseas tours over the years, music fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting the start of their second chapter.
Treasure will make their official comeback on June 1 at 6 PM with the release of their 4th mini album, [NEW WAV]. This new release is expected to be a turning point that proves both their musical transformation and growth.
Last year, Treasure captured the hearts of global fans with the refreshing and soft vibes of their special mini album [PLEASURE] and 3rd mini album [LOVE PULSE]. In particular, [LOVE PULSE] became a million-seller, recording 1,131,346 copies sold within just one week of release and breaking their own personal record.
However, with [NEW WAV], they are completely shedding the natural mood of their previous works to put raw, rough energy front and center. The album title [NEW WAV] refers to a “new flow” while also playing on “WAV,” the lossless audio format, signaling a strong determination to showcase Treasure’s clear, unprocessed identity.
In the released teaser videos and visual photos, Treasure teased a bold concept with wild swag, intense gazes, and hip hop street-style fashion. General Producer Yang Hyun Suk previously expressed strong confidence, stating, “I was surprised when the members suddenly came to me and said they wanted to do hip hop. As they wished, you will be surprised to see that Treasure can make this kind of music. You can look forward to a cool, YG-style sound they’ve never shown before.”
The biggest reason for the anticipation surrounding this comeback is the “overwhelming live capability” Treasure has proven on stage. They have already built up solid experience and stage dominance while traveling the world.
Currently, Treasure is successfully carrying out their Asia tour, ‘2025-26 TREASURE TOUR [PULSE ON],’ spanning 27 shows across 14 cities. They have pushed their live performance skills to the limit while connecting with global fans in Seoul, Japan, Macau, Taipei, Manila, Jakarta, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and more.
The members’ confidence and fearless stage manner, forged through countless live experiences, are expected to create an explosive synergy with the four hip hop-based new tracks. Just as the album trailer mentions “no limits,” it is time for Treasure’s true weapon to be unleashed as they continue to grow and level up since their debut.
Following the release of their 4th mini album, Treasure will keep the comeback momentum going with ‘TREASURE THE STAGE 2026 IN SEOUL’ at Korea University’s Hwajung Gymnasium from June 19 to 21. They will then continue their global activities with a large-scale fan concert tour consisting of 20 shows across 8 cities in Japan.
Treasure is returning with the hip hop they are best at and most wanted to do. With a clearer identity than ever, fans are excited to see them create a massive “NEW WAV” (new wave) in the global music market.
