As member Bae Jin-young leaves the team and agency with the end of his exclusive contract, CIX, a group reorganized into four members, will make an official comeback on the 23rd.

CIX released the leader film and time table images of its seventh EP album 'THUNDER FEVER' on its official SNS and YouTube channels at midnight on the 5th and 6th, confirming its comeback date as the 23rd. The comeback is eye-catching in that the quartet will announce its new news for the first time since Bae Jin-young's withdrawal.

First, the leader film video showed a black cat walking out of a rainy forest and stopping in the middle of a thundering city. At the same time, a new logo of CIX appeared, drawing attention. This is linked to the leader film of CIX's previous 'OK' series album, raising questions about how the world view will expand in this 'THUNDER FEVER'.

According to the released time table, CIX will present two concept photos, tracklist, three Lyric videos, two music video teasers, and album previews sequentially before its comeback. In addition to teasing, a YouTube live broadcast will be held on the 16th, a week before the comeback, and a welcome New Year's greeting will be delivered to global fans.

'THUNDER FEVER' is the album name for pollen allergy caused by thunderous weather. Expectations are high on what kind of story and high-quality track CIX will fill its comeback work, which will take its first full-fledged steps with a four-person system.

Last year, CIX successfully completed its first single '0 or 1 (Zero or One)' title song 'Lovers or Enemies' and completed its third solo concert tour '0 or 1' in eight North American cities after Seoul. CIX, which has entered the comeback countdown as a whole group of four in a year, will showcase its further evolved charm and chemistry through 'THUNDER FEVER'.

CIX's seventh EP album 'THUNDER FEVER' will be released on various online music sites at 6 p.m. on the 23rd.
