According to Soompi, the series will show the members "choosing their title track, recording the music, practising choreography, and participating in photo shoots for the album."
Fans of Heechul may be disappointed to learn that he won't be as active in the promotion of this new release. He will be singing on the album and involved in the TV series but he won't be performing live or joining the rest of the band on the tour because of a leg condition as a result of a previous car accident.
