When Does BLOW UP Come Out?
Last updated: October 31, 2026
BLOW UP is P1Harmony's 10th mini album, released by FNC Entertainment. All of its songs and the music video for the title track, also called "BLOW UP," go live on Friday, November 6, at 2 p.m. Korea Standard Time. It is the group's first Korean release in eight months, after the ninth mini album UNIQUE in March.
The release was set for midnight on the US East Coast, and the rest of the world follows from there. It is 2 p.m. in Japan, 1 p.m. in Beijing, Taipei, Hong Kong and Singapore, 5 a.m. GMT in London, and 9 p.m. Pacific on Thursday, November 5.
FNC describes the title track as a song about breaking through your limits and the thrill of a journey the members have made together. The music video teaser came out on October 30, and it previews a full-group performance of the song.
The full tracklist hasn't been announced yet. We will add it here as soon as FNC and P1Harmony's official accounts post it.
How Does P1Harmony's Hero Universe End?
P1Harmony are a six-member boy group: Keeho, the leader, Theo, Jiung, Intak, Soul and Jongseob. From their debut in 2020, their albums have told one continuing story, and BLOW UP is where it ends. Think of it as a superhero series told across music videos, trailers and album concepts, with the members as the heroes.
It began before the first song. The group's debut film, P1H: The Beginning of a New World, starred all six members as boys who come together to save a world left in ruins by a virus that spreads anger and violence. The DISHARMONY and HARMONY album series followed them fighting injustice to restore harmony.
| Chapter | Album | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| The beginning | P1H: The Beginning of a New World (film), DISHARMONY and HARMONY series | Six boys unite to save a world broken by a virus of anger and violence |
| The reveal | Killin' It, first full album | The members reveal they are the heroes who saved the world, closing the first story |
| After the victory | SAD SONG | Loneliness once peace returns |
| The strike | DUH! | The heroes go on strike against a world that no longer seems to need them |
| The return | UNIQUE | They accept who they are and take up the hero's role again |
| The finale | BLOW UP | The final mission |
The second half of the story is the more unusual one. Instead of another battle, it asks what a hero does when the fighting is over. SAD SONG, released in September 2024, dealt with the emptiness after victory. DUH!, in May 2025, had the heroes walk off the job. UNIQUE, in March 2026, brought them back. BLOW UP completes the journey with one last mission.
What Do the Trailer and Teaser Show?
The comeback was announced with a trailer titled "FINAL MISSION COMPLETE." It opens with the six members in black suits and horned caps walking out of a corridor full of fire and smoke, then cuts to a mission in an abandoned building: red gloves, a black sedan, a sign bearing the group's logo, and a stealthy, almost comic tone. It plays like the last episode of a heist series, which suits a finale.
The music video teaser on October 30 changes the mood. There are scenes of the members dancing in a school gym and on a small stage framed by pink curtains, a clock about to strike twelve, and a room of children throwing colored paper in celebration. The concept images show the same split, the members on a mission and the members at rest in everyday life. The teaser also shows the song performed as a full-group dance, so expect a big, choreography-led title track.
The group's channel has been playing along with the story too. A video titled "HERO SOCIETY Open Recruitment for New Heroes" frames the fan event before the release as a recruitment drive for new heroes.
The HERO SOCIETY Info Session, KGMA and Where to Watch
The first live moment of the BLOW UP era comes two days before the release. On Wednesday, November 4, at 8 p.m. KST, P1Harmony hold the HERO SOCIETY INFO SESSION at the Grand Auditorium of Yonsei University in Seoul. It is an in-person event for 1,000 fans chosen by lottery from members of the official fan club who bought the album on Weverse during the entry period, which has already closed. For everyone else, the event streams live on Weverse and YouTube at the same time.
The release follows on November 6 on Korean platforms such as Melon, Genie and Bugs, and on global services such as Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music, with the music video on P1Harmony's YouTube channel.
The next day, Saturday, November 7, P1Harmony perform at the Korea Grand Music Awards at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, on the first night, Artist Day. It is the group's third straight year on the KGMA stage, and the timing makes it one of the first big stages of the new era, though setlists have not been announced. Our KGMA guide covers tickets, the full lineup and the live stream. Korea's weekly TV music shows usually follow in release week; the group's official accounts post that schedule.
November is crowded with releases. RESCENE, who share the KGMA Artist Day bill, return three days earlier with their own mini album, covered in our RESCENE PULSE guide, and our November K-pop comeback calendar lists every confirmed release date and time.
Sori's Note
Most K-pop storylines fade out quietly. A new era starts, the old lore stops being mentioned, and nobody says it is over. P1Harmony are doing the rare thing and calling a finale a finale, six years in.
What I find most interesting is the order of the last chapters. A hero who saves the world, feels lonely, goes on strike and then comes back is a more human arc than most idol concepts allow. If you are new, watch the UNIQUE era first, then BLOW UP. The ending lands harder when you know they almost quit.
