Monday, 6 p.m.: NMIXX and Jeonghan X Joshua Drop at the Same Time (Oct. 19)

Two releases, one clock

NMIXX is back after about five months. Jeonghan X Joshua, a new Seventeen unit, makes its first mini album debut.

Both arrive Monday, Oct. 19 at 6 p.m. KST. Earbuds in before the commute home.

NMIXX's first unit songs

'Strange Muse' carries six tracks, led by the title track 'Birthday Wish' (긴 소원), with 'Kerosene' and 'RudE TaLK' among them. It also holds the group's first unit songs since debut, and the members took part in writing the lyrics.

The title track's M/V teaser is up on JYP Entertainment's official channel.

Jeonghan X Joshua at both twelves

'DREAMSCAPE' runs seven tracks. Title track '12 o'clock' draws on 1970s-80s disco and punk, and the album's theme is the border between dream and reality.

The range is wide: house on 'Like You', a bass-led 'Outside', R&B-soul on 'One Plus One', Joshua's solo 'Not Personal', Jeonghan's solo 'Coloring', and a band-sound closer, 'No Looking Back'.

The highlight medley is on the HYBE LABELS channel.

After the album, the arena

Jeonghan X Joshua open their tour at Incheon Inspire Arena from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1, then head to Saitama (Nov. 21-22), Macau (Dec. 11-12), Taipei (Jan. 9-10, 2027), BEXCO in Busan (Jan. 30-31) and Hong Kong (Feb. 20-21).

NMIXX plays an encore concert at the same Inspire Arena on Nov. 27-29, the last stop of the roughly year-long first world tour 'EPISODE 1: ZERO FRONTIER'.

Release is 6 p.m. Korea time, which is 09:00 UTC. Fans abroad can set the time zone math in advance.

Both labels have teasers and medleys on their official channels.
