The nine-track mini album marks the septet’s long-awaited revival as a full unit since its self-titled extended play (EP) in 2022.
The music video to “Python,” the lead track, dropped alongside the album.
The production derives inspiration from the Winter Hexagon, a notable celestial formation made up of six bright stars — Sirius, Procyon, Pollux, Castor, Capella and Aldebaran — with the possible inclusion of the red supergiant Betelguese to form the heptagon, in homage to the group’s seven-member lineup.
JAY B, the leader of the seven-piece powerhouse, confirmed their return during his solo concert in Seoul in December 2024, with official teasers unveiled days after.
