ALL(H)OURS Releases UNBOUND
ALL(H)OURS (올아워즈) released its sixth mini album UNBOUND on September 10, led by double title tracks HOP and DANG DANG. The release went out at 6 p.m. KST. For fans in Jakarta, Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City, that meant 4 p.m. local time. Listeners in Manila, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore heard it at 5 p.m.
In North America, UNBOUND landed at 5 a.m. EDT and 2 a.m. PDT, a late-night or pre-dawn drop depending on the coast. The six-track EP runs 16 minutes and 25 seconds in total, according to Bugs.
UNBOUND Tracklist and Member Credits
The album contains six songs: HOP, DANG DANG, Only Me, S!REN, Heaom (헤엄) and VIVA. Genie Music’s album credits confirm that members contributed to writing and composition across the album, though a full per-track breakdown of which member worked on which song was not available at the time of this report.
How HOP and DANG DANG Use Different Sounds
HOP was pre-released on August 25 at 6 p.m. KST, ahead of the full album. Soompi described its sound as a mix of trap beats with phonk and rock elements, paired with a music video that leaned into a fiercer visual style.
DANG DANG takes a different route, built on an EDM and metalcore structure. Placing both songs as co-title tracks gives UNBOUND two distinct sonic identities instead of one lead single carrying the release.
The First Stage After Release
ALL(H)OURS performed on Mnet’s M Countdown on September 10, the same day UNBOUND came out. According to setlist.fm, the broadcast marked the live debut of DANG DANG. HOP had already been introduced to audiences through its August 25 pre-release, but DANG DANG’s first public performance happened on release day itself, on national broadcast.
UNBOUND Arrives Before the RISE UP World Tour
UNBOUND is not an isolated comeback. The group’s first world tour, RISE UP, opens in Seoul on October 10, according to Tenasia. The tour then moves through Europe in November before reaching North America in January 2027.
Six European dates are confirmed: Warsaw on November 4, Oberhausen on November 6, Helsinki on November 8, Paris on November 10, London on November 12 and Berlin on November 15. That is a fixed, city-by-city route already posted on the group’s official site.
What Fans in North America, Latin America and Southeast Asia Need to Know
North America sits on the calendar for January 2027, but the routing there is still developing rather than fixed like Europe’s. Official pre-sale planning has considered Atlanta, Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, the New York tri-state area, Orlando, Salt Lake City, the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle and Toronto. None of these cities carry a confirmed date yet — they represent markets under consideration, not a released schedule.
As of September 11, 2026, no Latin American leg appears in the official RISE UP routing. No Southeast Asian date appears either. Fans in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Colombia, along with fans in Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, are not left out by choice shown in any statement — the routing reviewed simply does not list a stop in either region at this stage.
The Verified Growth Signal Behind the Comeback
UNBOUND follows NO DOUBT, ALL(H)OURS’ previous release from March 2026. A verified cumulative sales figure for NO DOUBT was not available at the time of this report.
A verified first-day or first-week sales figure for UNBOUND was also not available at the time of this report. Any comparison between the two releases will depend on those numbers once an authoritative source publishes them.
