The K-pop boy group E’LAST is back with their third mini-album ‘Roar’ on April 27. Expanding on their extensive storyline from their previous releases, ‘Roar’ is said to be the climax of E’LAST’s ongoing series. With a total of seven tracks, ‘Creature’ happens to be the lead single of the album. It was released seven months after their first single album ‘Dark Dream,’ which was immensely successful and charted in the top 10 of Gaon Chart and #4 on Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart.

E’LAST is an eight-member K-pop group that debuted in June 2020 with their first mini-album ‘Day Dream,’ which began their musical journey.
