SuperM will release its debut EP on Oct. 4 through SM Entertainment, Korea’s largest entertainment company, in partnership with Capitol Music Group and Caroline Records. The EP is now available for pre-order. Physical album preorders are also available. The label is also selling something called augmented reality T-shirts for each member of the group as a package with the digital album.
The group will make its debut U.S. performances in October.
“SuperM is uniquely positioned to become the highest-profile U.S. debut of a K-pop group in the history of this phenomenon,” Capitol Music Group Chairman and CEO Steve Barnett said in a news release.
