WAKER is officially joining the January 2026 comeback lineup.

On December 9th KST, WAKER confirmed their return for January 8th by releasing the first group concept photo for their third mini album through their official social media channels.

The newly released group photo features the six members in street-inspired casual looks that highlight each of their individual styles. With a noticeably stronger concept than before, the image hints at a fresh transformation and a different charm compared to their previous albums.

WAKER is a six-member boy group that officially debuted last January with their first mini album ‘Mission of School’. Living up to the meaning behind their name—“those who awaken the world”—they have built a global fandom through solid performance skills and a diverse musical identity.

In particular, WAKER drew attention as a rising fifth-generation boy group through their second mini album ‘SWEET TAPE’, released roughly six months after their debut. Recently, the group expanded their activities with a successful Japan tour followed by their first domestic fan meeting.

Ahead of the release of their third mini album on January 8th, WAKER will be unveiling a variety of teaser content in the coming weeks.
