Boy band Kingdom will release its sixth EP “History of Kingdom: Part VI. Mujin” on March 23, the boy band's agency GF Entertainment announced Tuesday.

The photo teaser released on the same day showed members dressed up as swordsmen of the “kingdom of cherry blossom,” posing for the camera.

Kingdom, as hinted at in the band’s name, revolves around the fictional universe where each of the seven members of the band are kings of their own region. The upcoming EP introduces member Mujin’s kingdom, dubbed the “kingdom of cherry blossom,” making him the main character of the EP.

The boy band debuted in 2021 with the EP “History of Kingdom: Part I. Arthur,” and kickstarted its fictional universe by explaining each member’s kingdom. So far, Arthur, Chiwoo — who left the group in 2022 —, Ivan, Dann and Louis each had an EP centered around their kingdoms, with Hwon and Jahan’s album planned to be released in the future.
