Group Waker wakes up the music industry with the start of the new year in 2026.
WAKER (Kohyun, Kwon Hyeop, Lee Jun, Rio, Saebyeol, Sebeom) will release its third mini album "In Elixir: Spellbound" on various online music sites at 12 p.m. on January 8.
This new album contains the excitement, confusion, and growth of young people who first encounter the feeling of love as a story. The title song "LiKE THAT" is a dance song that expresses the excitement of love and dizzying palpitations with addictive sound. The message that "love is medicine and disease" is expressed in the lyrics, and a sensuous melody that combines sophisticated guitar riffs and intense beats catches the ears.
The 3rd mini album boasts richness with a total of 9 songs, which are the scale of a regular album. Starting with the cheerful sound '11:59', synth pop 'Lucid Dream' (Lucid Dream), 'Revive' combining dubstep and hip-hop, and the energetic '10 outta 10' (Ten Out of Ten) are in order.

The second half of the album is also available from the lyrical emotional ballad "Dawn Star" to the disco-pop genre "Feeling" and "Sugar Crush" and the intense hip-hop track "Drop Out." As such, Waker shows more mature musical capabilities and authenticity through a variety of music worlds across genres.
Waker's performance is also a major expectation point of this comeback. The previously released teaser video for the music video of "LiKE THAT" heralded a powerful dance, and even though it was a short amount, it left fans intense, amplifying expectations for a comeback. In response, Waker plans to present a high-quality stage based on solid live and dance skills.
Meanwhile, Waker will release the new song and release the title song "LiKE THAT" for the first time on Mnet's "M Countdown" on the 8th. Afterwards, KBS 2TV's "Music Bank" and MBC's "Show!" He will also appear on "Music Core" and SBS's "Inkigayo."
