New boy band CHASER to release debut album ROUTE 01: Burning Point

SEOUL, February 25 (AJP) - South Korean boy band CHASER is scheduled to make its official debut on Wednesday with the release of its first mini album.

The five-member group, consisting of Kangbin, Caseke, Ren, Yoonsung, and Sihun, will launch ROUTE 01: Burning Point at 6 p.m. (0900 GMT) across global streaming platforms including Spotify and YouTube Music. The album serves as the introductory chapter to the group's planned narrative universe, focusing on themes of energy and ambition.

The nine-track record is led by the title track "INVINCIBLE," an uptempo pop-rock song characterized by a heavy guitar riff and prominent bass lines. The track is designed to showcase the group's vocal harmonies and high-intensity performance style.
 
CHASER preceded the launch with a series of promotional materials, including concept photos and a highlight medley of the tracks. A music video teaser for the lead single featured the members in a vintage setting before transitioning to imagery of motorcycles and smoke, intended to reflect the song's themes of resilience. The album explores several genres beyond pop-rock. The tracklist includes "Sweet Like Sugar," a synth-pop song; "Criss Cross," a hip-hop trap track; and "Dreamers," described as a youth anthem. Other songs include the mid-tempo jazz-inspired "Knock Knock," the motivational "MATCH POINT," and "Yagwangun," a track centered on the concepts of growth and hope.

The release of ROUTE 01: Burning Point marks the formal entry of the rookie group into the South Korean music industry.
