K-pop boyband THE BOYZ have made a comeback with their eighth mini-album ‘Be Awake’ and a stunning music video for its sultry lead single ‘ROAR’.On February 20 at 6PM KST, the 11-member boyband returned with a cinematic visual for their brand-new single ‘ROAR’.

The track acts as the lead single of their new mini-album ‘Be Awake’, which was released at the same time.The new music video begins with the boyband walking along a bridge in single file, backdropped by a cloudy and darkening sky.

Things grow more chaotic throughout the clip, and the members wreak havoc in an empty store while performing to the song’s choreography.“Fallen angel is my name / I turned my back on paradise / Only now am I free / Ta ta ta ra ra ta, shall become mine / Keep it coming like that roar,” they sing on the chorus.In addition to ‘ROAR’, the new record includes five other songs, namely ‘Awake’, ‘Blah Blah’, ‘Savior’, ‘Horizon’ and ‘Diamond Life’.THE BOYZ’s new release also marks the official return of members Eric and Sunwoo to the group’s activities.

The former had gone on a temporary hiatus in March 2022 and did not participate in their ‘The B-Zone’ world tour and their August 2022 mini-album ‘Be Aware’, while the latter went on hiatus shortly after the release of ‘Be Aware’ last August.The boyband’s last music release was the fan-dedicated digital single ‘All About You’ in December 2022, which commemorated their debut five years prior.
