After a highly anticipated wait of one year and eight months since their single “ZOMBIE,” EVERGLOW is officially back. The fierce K-pop powerhouse has returned with their fourth mini-album, CODE, marking a new era for the group. This release also introduces their reorganized four-member lineup, featuring E:U, SIHYEON, ONDA, and AISHA.
A New Beginning and Creative Evolution
Framing 2026 as a “new beginning,” the members have poured their hearts into navigating this transitional period. Redistributing vocal and performance roles from six members to four presented unique challenges. However, the group’s resilience shines through as they step into this new chapter with unmatched determination.
The CODE EP centers on a powerful theme of “liberation and connection” while remaining true to EVERGLOW’s signature explosive sound. Fans will be thrilled to know that the members had their highest level of participation in the production process to date. The mini-album features four dynamic tracks:
- “BREAKOUT”
- “FOCUS”
- “CODE”
- “Can’t Be Broken”
Memorable Shoots and Rigorous Tour Prep
Creating CODE came with unforgettable moments, including a freezing cold-weather music video shoot that tested the members’ endurance. To prepare for their return to the stage, the idols have adopted strict daily routines. Their rigorous schedules now include early morning cardio sessions and extended choreography practices to ensure absolute perfection.
All this hard work is leading up to the massive 2026 “RE:CODE” world tour. The global trek officially kicked off in March 2026 with two spectacular days of shows in Seoul. From there, the tour will cover the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia, promising explosive energy and deep fan interaction.
Legacy, Goals, and a Message to FOREVER
While looking forward, EVERGLOW is also reflecting on the legacy of their viral hit tracks like “DUN DUN,” “Bon Bon Chocolat,” and “Adios.” The quartet is constantly envisioning where the group will be five years from now, focusing on both short-term milestones and long-term artistic growth.
At the core of this monumental comeback is their deep connection with their fandom, FOREVER. The members emphasize that this EP and tour are direct messages of gratitude and love for the fans who have stood by them. The “RE:CODE” era is not just a return to the stage; it is a celebration of an unbreakable bond.
