&TEAM Begins First Korean Comeback With Second Mini Album 'Mark on Me'

&TEAM has begun their first comeback activities in Korea with their second Korean mini album, 'Mark on Me.' Moving beyond the forceful energy that defined many of their earlier performances, the nine-member group is presenting a more delicate and emotionally expressive side of their music. &TEAM held a media showcase at SBS Sangam Prism Tower in Mapo-gu, Seoul, on September 8th to celebrate the album’s release. After debuting in Japan in 2022, they made their official Korean debut with their first Korean mini album in October 2025. 'Mark on Me' is their first comeback since that Korean debut. TAKI said he was happy to perform in Korea again and felt more confident after gaining experience through the group’s Asia tour. He explained that while their previous songs often emphasized powerful energy, the new release focuses on a more delicate style and shows a different side of &TEAM. The album expands the group’s established “Wolf DNA” narrative by introducing love into the story. It follows a wolf that has withdrawn after being rejected by the world but gradually begins to change after meeting someone who accepts its true self. The title track, also called 'Mark on Me,' is a pop song built around a prominent piano melody and dramatic progression. It moves from a tense opening into a powerful, majestic chorus. The members paid particular attention to synchronizing their movements and expressions so that all nine could communicate the same emotion without relying only on large gestures. The album track 'Good Boy' also drew attention for its credits, which include HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk and members of CORTIS. EJ said the song’s energetic character suited &TEAM and expressed interest in pursuing more collaborations if future opportunities arise. The group also shared their goal of earning their first win on SBS’s 'Inkigayo.' JO said it would be especially meaningful if EJ, who serves as an MC on the program, could announce &TEAM as the winner. Before beginning their Korean comeback, &TEAM held their first solo dome concerts at Belluna Dome in Saitama on September 5th and 6th. The shows marked the largest venue the group had headlined since their debut. EJ described the concerts as the fulfillment of a long-standing promise with fans and said the group hopes to perform at even larger venues in the future. &TEAM’s second Korean mini album, 'Mark on Me,' was released on September 8th at 6 PM KST.
