Background

edit

On June 12, 2024, B.A.P announced a documentary titled "Man on the Moon". The teaser for the documentary included an announcement for a group comeback, marking the group's first activities since the release of "Ego" in 2018.[3] On July 5, the group revealed their schedule for their upcoming album, Curtain Call, which showed they would be promoting under their real names rather than the B.A.P. name.[4] Member Zelo was unable to participate in the comeback as a result of his military service.[5]

The group performed their first stage promoting the comeback at Ilchi Music Hall in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul.[6][7]
