With WAKER’s comeback just one day away, global fans are turning their attention to the group’s upcoming transformation through their new album.



WAKER (Gohyeon, Kwonhyeop, Lee Jun, Leo, Saebyeol, and Sebeom) will release their third mini album, In Elixir : Spellbound, on January 8 at 12 p.m. (KST) across major online music platforms, marking the start of their full-fledged promotional activities. The album captures the excitement, confusion, and growth of youth as they encounter the emotion of love for the first time, unfolding like a single cohesive story. Ahead of the comeback, three key points to look forward to have been highlighted.



Despite being a mini album, In Elixir : Spellbound features a total of nine tracks, delivering impressive depth and volume. Led by the title track “LiKE THAT,” the album showcases a diverse musical spectrum spanning synth-pop, dubstep, hip-hop, disco pop, and emotional ballads. Known for consistently filling their albums with nine tracks, WAKER is set to demonstrate a more mature musical identity and artistic sincerity with this release, raising expectations for what could become a career-defining album.
