Treasure will make a comeback after 10 months, following the release of their last full album on July 28, 2023. The group is currently on an Asia tour and will introduce a new song, "King Kong," during a two to three-week break. Members Choi Hyun-suk and Yoshi contributed to the lyrics, with composition by producers including Airplay, Jared Lee, and Choice37. The new single is expected to showcase a strong performance and energetic style. Treasure’s next album is planned for release in the fall.
