The group CLASS:y has confirmed a comeback after a long hiatus.

According to the music industry on the 29th, CLASS:y has set a comeback date of November and is focusing on preparations. This comeback will be a full 2 years and 1 month since the release of their 2nd mini album 'Day and Night' in October 2022. It is said that they are putting a lot of effort into preparing the album as fans have been waiting for it for a long time.

CLASS:y is a group formed through the MBC audition program 'My Teenage Girl' in February 2022. In the audition program that lasted about 9 months, each member proved their different charms and solid skills. It consists of a total of 7 members, including Won Ji-min, who is the center with both skills and visuals, Myung Hyung-seo with her charming clear voice, main vocalist Yoon Chae-won, dance genius Hong Hye-ju, Kim Ri-won with her expressive face, little Jenny Park Bo-eun, and cute youngest Kim Seon-you.

The average age of the members at the time of their debut was 16 years old. Having officially debuted with 'Shutdown', CLASS:y has shown off their stable live skills and powerful performances on various music programs even at a young age. CLASS:y has been praised by music broadcast officials as a 'monster rookie' and 'the best live performance among 4th generation idols'.

Since CLASS:y formed a fandom early on through appearances on programs, they were quick to advance overseas. Even before the debut lineup was confirmed, CLASS:y signed a contract with the major Japanese record label Universal Music Japan and made their Japanese debut at TV Tokyo's 'TV Tokyo Music Festival 2022 Summer', targeting Japan, the world's second largest music market.

Despite the fact that COVID-19 had not yet completely ended at the time, about 3,000 fans flocked to see CLASS:y at a fan meeting held in Japan. Now all that remains is to solidify their popularity in Korea.

In particular, attention is focused on the fierce lineup scheduled for October and November. Music powerhouses such as aespa, Kiss of Life, Jennie, and Jay Park will make a comeback in October. In November, Tomorrow X Together, which boasts a global fandom, confirmed a comeback.

Music fans are anticipating the new music and solid live performances that CLASS:y, who is releasing an album after about two years, will show.

Finally. Absolutely insane to me to put a bunch of idols through the pressure of a competition show just to do nothing. Their string of releases in 2022 showed they were developing a solid fanbase.
