Boy band Hori7on will release its debut full-length album "Friend-SHIP" on Monday, officially launching its promotional activities in Korea.

Lead track "Six7een" has an "addictive melody and bassline in the chorus," according to its agency MLD Entertainment. "It captures the teen energy of talented Hori7on members."

Hori7on's new album will also feature fellow MLD artists such as Haeun of girl group Lapillus and Leo, Noah of boy band TFN.

Hori7on was formed through audition program "Dream Maker," launched together by Korean agency MLD Entertainment and Filipino media company ABS-CBN. The program is described as a "collaboration between K-pop and [Pinoy pop]." Both Korean and Filipino fans were able to vote throughout the program.

Formed on Feb. 12 this year, the boy band members have been promoting in the Philippines, holding "mall tours" to meet local fans.

Hori7on refers to the seven members who started their journey at the same line, aiming for a united goal.

"Friend-SHIP" will drop at 6 p.m. on online music streaming platforms.
