Rising band's new release is the first in nearly two years Touched is set to release its new EP album 'Red Signal' on Aug. 12, marking the rock band's first release in 23 months since its 2023 EP 'Yellow Supernova Remnant.' Pre-release track "Ruby," which was unveiled during the SBS "Gayo Daejeon Summer Unipop" stage on Sunday, hints at the intense mood of the new album. Along with the album announcement, the band revealed a teaser image with a red, heart-shaped gem at the center surrounded by five black gemstones. The design was inspired by an early draft of the band's logo created by vocalist Yunmin. Following the album release, Touched will hold its 'Attraction' concert on Aug. 23 and 24 at Hall 10 of Kintex Exhibition Center 2 in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. The show will take the form of a festival, combining performances with fan-oriented content such as a photo exhibition, listening space, VR experience zone and a hologram photo booth. Following the album release and concert, Touched is set for a busy second half of 2025. They are scheduled to perform at major festivals including the 2025 Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival, Busan International Rock Festival, Love Chips Festival, Grand Mint Festival and ACC X Music Festival. Internationally, they will take the stage at events such as K-Music Night in New York and Vision Bangkok 2025 in Thailand.

Band Touched to host festival-like concert in August
Immersive festival-style event 'Attraction' to offer fans powerful live performances and interactive experiences Rising Korean band Touched is set to hold a special solo concert this August. "Attraction" will take place on Aug. 23 and 24 at Hall 10 of Kintex Exhibition Center 2 in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. This will mark Touched's largest solo concert since the band's debut in 2021, promising a large-scale concert with a wide array of interactive content to connect more deeply with fans. "Attraction" combines Touched's signature intense live performances and dynamic stage production with experiential zones that invite audience participation. Unlike conventional concerts that center on the main performance, the upcoming concert will include a content zone and F&B booths, creating a music festival-like atmosphere for a richer fan experience. 'This show will not only deliver emotional moments on stage but also offer exciting content off stage that allows fans to interact and enjoy the Touched experience to the fullest,' said an official from MPMG Music, the band's agency. Formed in 2021, Touched rose to prominence after winning Mnet's band audition program "Great Seoul Invasion" in 2022. Since then, it has held solo concerts such as "Highlight III," "Fireworks" and "Remnant," all of which sold out. Before the concert announcement, the band took the stage as a headliner at Korea's renowned music festival Beautiful Mint Life for the first time on June 13. The band will continue with a packed schedule for the second half of the year. Touched is slated to perform at the SBS "Gayo Daejeon – Summer Unipop" in July, the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival in August, Lovechips Festival in September and the Busan International Rock Festival in October.
