Kep1er unveils detailed 'CRACK CODE' comeback schedule

2026년 03월 10일

Following the initial announcement of their eighth mini album 'CRACK CODE' set for March 31, Kep1er has revealed a comprehensive promotion schedule via a teaser poster released on March 10 at midnight KST. This update comes after member Seo Young Eun's departure, with the now six-member group ramping up teasers ahead of the launch.

Kep1er is building on their March 8 comeback announcement for the eighth mini album 'CRACK CODE' with a detailed promotional timeline shared via a schedule teaser poster on March 10 at midnight KST.

Pre-orders begin March 11, followed by initial teasers on March 13. Concept films and photos are slated for March 17, 18, 19, 20, and 23. A track file drops on March 24, and the highlight medley on March 25, previewing the album's contents. The full 'CRACK CODE' releases March 31 at 6 p.m. KST.

This structured rollout complements the earlier puzzle-themed teaser posters hinting at 'UNLOCKED' themes and a charismatic concept, maintaining momentum in the K-pop scene post-departure.

honestly this might be the worse promotion of all time to the point that i’m barely hyped for the comeback. no teaser, no concept pics, just some live promotion. which makes me sad cuz i was waiting for the tannies. their marketing team need to change their strategy https://t.co/vzzm2IHSzw
