Earlier this month, the agency revealed that the group’s two Chinese members, The8 and Jun, would return to their home country for the rest of year, allowing them to “resume their work in China that had been postponed by COVID-19”.
It noted that this was also an opportunity for them to “spend time with their families after having been forced to stay apart from them for a considerable amount of time due to the pandemic”.
‘Attacca’ comes just four month’s after the group’s eighth mini-album ‘Your Choice’ which featured the title track ‘Ready To Love’. In a four-star review of the record, NME’s Puah Ziwei said that “the [boyband’s] experimentation with their musicality… prove that the group have not lost their touch or creative streak”.
