The group WAKER (comprising Rio, Sebom, Gohyun, Leejoon, Saebyeol, and Kwonhyup) will release their second mini album, 'SWEET TAPE,' on various music sites on July 16 at 6 PM.

'SWEET TAPE' comes six months after WAKER's first mini album, generating high expectations. Here are three key points to anticipate from WAKER's new release:

*A Debut-Like First Comeback*

WAKER released their first mini album, 'Mission of School,' on January 8. They gained recognition with their debut track 'ATLANTIS.' With their first comeback, WAKER plans to meet global K-pop fans with upgraded music and performances. Additionally, this comeback marks the beginning of their domestic music show activities.

*A Mini Album That Feels Like a Full Album*

As a rookie idol group, WAKER previously released an unprecedented 10-track debut mini album. Their second mini album also includes nine tracks, demonstrating their sincerity and capturing the interest of music fans.

The album features a variety of genres, including the intro track 'Where do we go,' the title track 'Vanilla Choco Shake,' 'Call My Name,' 'Dolce,' 'Don't Worry,' 'Meet Me in Dreams,' 'Rest,' 'Lollipop,' and 'Dreaming Talk: DAY 2.' The diverse genres range from dance pop and pop ballads to pop punk and R&B pop, adding to the curiosity. 

With this new release, WAKER aims to showcase a fresh charm they haven't displayed before.

*Sweet and Refreshing Vibes for This Summer*

The title track 'Vanilla Choco Shake' is a funky dance pop song with a lively band base, perfect for cooling off the hot summer. The easy-listening track boasts a sophisticated and addictive hook, and WAKER is determined to capture listeners of all ages.

Even before their debut, WAKER built a strong fanbase through activities in both Korea and Japan, emerging as a '5th generation Hallyu idol group.' They performed over 180 shows in Japan, earning the title 'performance idols' for their solid live performances. With this comeback, they plan to showcase their outstanding live skills through 'Vanilla Choco Shake.'

WAKER's second mini album 'SWEET TAPE' will be released worldwide on July 16 at 6 PM.
