WayV is officially setting the stage for one of this summer’s most exciting K-pop comebacks. The NCT sub-unit has just dropped a chaotic and intriguing new teaser titled ‘TUNE THE BIG BANDS’, offering fans a sneak peek into their upcoming 7th mini album, ‘BIG BANDS,’ set for release on July 18 at 1 PM KST.

However, calm quickly turns to calamity as a sudden disaster disrupts the moment, throwing the setting—and the members—into complete chaos. It’s an eccentric, almost theatrical display that hints at a concept unlike anything the group has done before.
Instrumental Identities and Jazz-Themed Hints
Each WayV member is represented by a unique instrumental sound, cleverly introducing a key element of the group’s upcoming jazz-inspired title track.
