WEi (pronounced “WE-I”) is set to drop its fourth EP “Love Pt. 1: First Love” on March 16, the boy band’s agency Oui Entertainment said Thursday.

The band uploaded a teaser video to its social media accounts the same day.

The 10-second video shows the members running to a gas station and playing around with skateboards.

It has been about nine months since WEi released “Identity: Action,” its third EP in June last year. It was the final EP of the “Identity” trilogy.

“Love Pt. 1: First Love” is expected to be the beginning of the “Love” series.

WEi debuted in October 2020 with the EP “Identity: First Sight.” It has six members: Jang Dae-hyeon, Kim Dong-han, Yoo Yong-ha, Kim Yo-han, Kang Seok-hwa and Kim Jun-seo.

Jang and Kim Dong-han were contestants on the second season of Mnet’s popular music survival show “Produce 101” (2016-19). Kim Yo-han and Kang participated in “Produce X 101,” the fourth season of the franchise.
