SEOUL, Sept. 1 (Yonhap) -- NCT Wish released its third EP "Color" on Monday, marking a comeback five months after the group’s last album, its agency SM Entertainment said.

The seven-track EP highlights the group’s more defined musical identity. It includes the title track "Color," the prereleased single "Surf," and "Wichu," a 2000s-inspired R&B track sampling pop star Chris Brown’s "With You."

The title track is an electro-pop number characterized by powerful synthesizer sounds and dynamic rhythm changes in the chorus. Its lyrics express confidence in coloring the world with NCT Wish’s own identity and protecting that color.

"As it has been five months since our last release, we worked hard to show a more mature side of ourselves," the group said, adding, "Our goal is to fully deliver the message of ‘painting the world with our colors.’"

On Sunday, NCT Wish also performed at the "2025 a-nation" summer music festival held at Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo, continuing active promotions at home and abroad.
