Comeback after 9 months

The group is making a comeback nine months after their hit single ‘Ring Ring’ was released in May 2021. The success of ‘Ring Ring’ gave the group a new nickname ‘Newtro Fairy’. The hopes of seeing the group’s new growth and unique charm in this release runs high among K-pop fans. ‘YELLOW PUNCH’ is Rocket Punch’s fourth mini-album. It takes the group’s ‘COLOR COLLECTION’ series ahead, adding the new colour Yellow. The series began with the energy-filled mini-album ‘PINK PUNCH’, followed by the hip and kitsch teen crush themed ‘RED PUNCH’.
