The Q4 2024 plan left fans disappointed as it omitted the schedule for the Korean girl group’s new album. There have been hints of the upcoming album’s release all year long. Min Hee Jin earlier hinted that the new album’s release will be set for the fourth quarter of 2024.
The group also hinted at the release during their Tokyo Done fan meeting in March where they said that they were preparing for a new album for Q4 2024, as reported by AllKpop. However, it was removed from the final schedule released to the public.
