Lee Soo-man's boy band A2O SOUL to release debut album Nov. 9

A2O SOUL, the 15-member boy group founded by K-pop mogul Lee Soo-man, will debut its album SUPERSTAR on November 9, just one month after releasing a prerelease single of the same name at a global showcase. The full-length album, consisting of five tracks, will be accessible on music platforms in Korea and internationally at 6 p.m., according to A2O Entertainment, the group's agency.

The EP begins with the single SUPERSTAR, which also acts as the prerelease track, and includes a second lead song, Dancing in the Dark. The agency describes the album's musical style as new synthwave, a genre the group has coined to define their sound. Lee, SM Entertainment's founder, determined the album's musical direction and selected songwriters he had never previously collaborated with.

SUPERSTAR, released on October 13, was co-written by veteran SM producer Yoo Young-jin, alongside HAAN, who contributed to hits by The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber's Stay, and GENT!, whose credits include songs for Drake and Doja Cat. The single quickly climbed to No. 18 on YouTube's trending music chart and performed well in China on QQ Music.
