B1A4 has opened preorders for its ninth mini-album, “SET,” ahead of the group’s April 21 release in South Korea. (sbsstar.net) Korean entertainment outlets reported Tuesday that the album will be released on April 21 after preorder sales began on April 14. Multiple retailer listings were referenced in fan-facing sales posts, including Yes24 and Kyobo Book Centre. (news.nate.com) The comeback is B1A4’s first in about two years and three months, according to SBS Entertainment News and other Korean outlets. The current lineup is CNU, Sandeul, and Gongchan. (ent.sbs.co.kr) “SET” is also the trio’s first album since ending its exclusive contract with WM Entertainment and moving into an independent setup through B1A4 Company. Korean reports say that shift happened roughly four months before this release. (sbsstar.net) The date is deliberate. April 21 matches the release date of B1A4’s debut record “Let’s Fly,” tying the new mini-album to the group’s 15th anniversary in 2026. (news.tf.co.kr) Korean media reports say the album title points to both “set” and the Korean word for “three,” framing the release around the idea that B1A4 is complete when all three members are together. Those reports place “SET” in a line that follows the group’s earlier releases “Origine” and “Connect.” (ent.sbs.co.kr) The title track is “Rock Paper Scissors,” described by SBS Entertainment News as a dance-pop song built on bass, synthesizers, and groovy drum parts. The same report said member CNU led the album’s overall production and participated across the track list. (ent.sbs.co.kr) The release starts what B1A4 has described in Korean press as a year tied to its 15th anniversary. Reports say music-show promotions will run for one week, with additional content and projects planned afterward. (sbsstar.net)
