[All] The Kingdom confirms a comeback on the 23rd, with the group transitioning to a five-member lineup after military enlistment.

[OSEN=Reporter Choi Yi-jeong] The Kingdom is making a surprise comeback with a special album.

The group The KingDom (Dan, Arthur, Mujin, Louis, Ivan, Jahan) announced their comeback on the 11th at midnight through their official SNS with a coming soon image and the news that their special album will be released on the 23rd at 6 PM.

This album isn't an official one, but rather a gift to their longtime supporters, the Kingmakers (fandom name). However, there was some disappointing news. While preparing the album, the leader Dan enlisted in the military earlier than scheduled, per the Military Manpower Administration's instructions. Consequently, The Kingdom will continue their promotions as a five-member group, including this comeback.

The Kingdom, who has presented unique stages with an oriental fantasy concept for each album, plans to once again show off the nickname "cinematic idol" through this special album. This time, the coming soon image with the phrase "History of Kingdom is Back" was released, raising expectations that they will continue their unique narrative and worldview. In particular, they are the first 4th generation idol to top 5 charts on Amazon Music in the US, and have also entered the TOP 10 of Billboard's "World Digital Song Sales" chart for 3 consecutive times.
