K-pop boy band iKON will release a singles album in Japan on Sept. 28, according to its management agency YG Entertainment.

The four-track album “Dumb & Dumber” will be the group’s first Japanese release and it will be unveiled alongside a DVD of music videos and behind-the-scenes footage.

Those who preorder the deluxe CD and DVD set online by Aug. 22 will stand a chance to attend the group’s meet-and-greet event at either Pacifico Yokohama on Oct. 22 or at the Kobe Convention Center on Oct. 23.

Starting September, iKON will kick off its second tour in Japan where it is scheduled to hold 14 concerts in five cities.

Since its debut last year on music shows “WIN: Who Is Next” and “Mix & Match,” the seven-member act has been gaining a global following through promotional activities abroad, including starring in China’s music competition show “The Remix” with K-pop sensation Psy.

Meanwhile, iKON will also continue its yearlong iKONCERT 2016 Showtime Tour in Asia to promote the group’s first studio album “Welcome Back.”
