Girl group BabyMonster will release its new digital single, "Forever," on July 1, its agency YG Entertainment said Wednesday.

"BabyMonster will release 'Forever,' its first summer digital single since its debut," the agency said.

Details other than the date and title were not revealed as of Wednesday.

"Forever" comes as BabyMonster's first new music in three months since member Ahyeon returned from her hiatus and the group released its EP, "BABYMONS7ER," as a full seven-member group on April 1.

Ahyeon was initially slated to debut with the group in November last year but withdrew the same month due to undisclosed health issues and did not participate until the April album.

The seven-member BabyMonster is on its meet and greet tour, "BabyMonster Presents: See You There." The septet will perform at the Summer Sonic 2024 music festival in August.
