On November 3, Play M Entertainment revealed, "VICTON will release a new album on December 1, kicking off their comeback promotions." This comeback is the third of the year for VICTON, and this release comes 6 months after their latest release.
On November 9, VICTON offered fans a sneak peek into their comeback. The keywords for this comeback seem to be highlighted to be, "VOICE : The future is now," which appears at the end of the video and is also probably the title of the upcoming album. VICTON will make their official comeback on December 1.
The album will serve as a special gift to fans in light of VICTON's 4th debut anniversary. Group VICTON will hold a fan meeting to celebrate their debut's 4th anniversary, titled '2020 VICTON FAN MEETING: Back to the Wonderland'.
This fan-meeting VICTON intends to spread a message of hope and positivity while also spending some quality time with their fans in celebration of their 4th debut anniversary.
This event is a fan party held to mark the 4th anniversary of VICTON's debut and to alleviate the regret that they have not met fans in person due to COVID-19 restrictions. The event will also include an on-tact performance and held in person with more than 500 fans. To prevent the spread of the COVID-19 infection, participation in the face-to-face fan meeting, which will be conducted under thorough quarantine and vigilance, is possible through the fan club's pre-sale on the 26th at Interpark and participation in the on-tact fan meeting on the 27th.
Since 'WELCOME TO WONDERLAND' in 2018, this fan meeting will be a fan meeting after two years for all the members of VICTON altogether.
Earlier this month, VICTON members were under fire for being insensitive and ignorant of the tragedy of Breonna Taylor and dancing to the song dedicated to her.
Sejun wrote, "I did not know the meaning of the song used in a recent dance video, and I caused disappointment and hurt to many people overseas and our fans ALICE. Moreover, I did not properly apologize when this came up during a V Live stream. Everything is due to my carelessness. I apologize once again to the people overseas and to ALICE, who were hurt because of me. I'll do my best to act more thoughtfully in the future. Once again, I apologize."
Subin apologized, saying, "During a break between promotions, Seungsik, Sejun, and I received choreography lessons, and we've been filming dance videos during every class. In the midst of that, a dance video uploaded has caused a lot of hurt to people." Seungsik also apologized in the same vein.
Victon, which debuted in 2016, exploded its potential last year, three years after its debut, and opened up a spectacular second act. VICTON succeeded in major music charts through the surprise release of their 2nd single 'Mayday' in June and took 1st place in the daily album rankings. They received an award from the Korean music show, "The Show," on June 9, 2020, for the song "Mayday," marking the group's third win. Since then, VICTON has been in solo albums, acting, entertainment, and pictorials.
During early 2019, Seungwoo and Byung-chan participated as contestants in Produce X 101. On July 11, it was announced by Play M Entertainment that Byung-chan would be leaving the show permanently to recover from the increasing pain brought by his chronic Achilles tendinitis. In the final episode on July 19, Seungwoo became a member of the new boy group X1. He received 1,079,200 votes, which put him at a final ranking of 3rd. The contract for this group was originally planned to be 5 years. Victon made their comeback as a six-member group on November 4 with the mini-album "Nostalgia" and lead single "Nostalgic Night," which earned them their first music show win since debut.
On January 6, 2020, the X1 members' agencies announced that the group would be disbanding due to a vote manipulation controversy. Play M announced on January 29 that following a solo fan-meeting in February, Seungwoo would return to promote with VICTON, and the group would make a comeback in March.
On March 9, Victon released the mini-album "Continuous." The album was the first release since X1's disbandment and the first to include Seungwoo since Produce X 101. Their lead single, "Howling," received an award from the Korean music show, "The Show," on March 17.
It was announced later by Play M that member Byungchan would sit out of promotions due to a herniated disk in his neck. On June 26, it was announced and confirmed by Play M that Seungwoo would be making his solo debut sometime in August. This will mark the first-ever official solo debut by a Victon member in the four years since their debut. On July 16, it was announced that Seungwoo's first mini-album, entitled "Fame," would be released on August 10 with the title track "Sacrifice."
