Rookie boy band NINE.i will release a new album in August, its agency FirstOne Entertainment said Monday.

The album will come nine months after NINE.i's second EP "I (Part.1)" was released last November.

NINE.i debuted on March 30, 2022, with 10 members — Winnie, Eden, Jewon, Minjun, Vahn, Vari, Taehun, Joohyoung, Jiho and Seowon.

The band recently performed at the "29th Dream Concert" in Busan after being voted the Dream Rookie by fans.

"This album will clearly carry the message that NINE.i would like to deliver to the world," the agency said in a press release. "All members and staff at the company are putting their best foot forward, led by member Vahn's producing skills, to show NINE.i's broadened horizons."
