‘The Blowing’ will be the group’s first release since their November 2018 project ‘Outro’. It will also be their first project since the departure of Yong Jun-Hyung, who exited the group in 2019 after becoming involved in South Korea’s Burning Sun scandal.
Their current line-up includes leader Yoon Doo-Joon, and members Yang Yo-seop, Lee Ki-Kwang and Son Dong-Woon. Highlight were previously on hiatus as all four members were completing their mandatory military service.
According to Korea JoongAng Daily, Highlight will also be releasing weekly episodes of their web-entertainment series The Highlight Twist every Friday till ‘The Blowing’ is released. The first episode of the series was released yesterday (April 15).
Highlight originally made their debut as BEAST under Cube Entertainment in 2009.
