The Morning Calm Post

fromis_9 has returned with its second full album "Glow ME." As the group's first full album in about three years and a major release under its new agency system, this comeback can be read as a schedule that reorganizes the team's current color.

fromis_9 has released its second full album "Glow ME" and begun summer promotions. Agency ASND said fromis_9 would release the new album through major online music platforms at 6 p.m. KST on July 21, 2026. The album is the group's first full-length release in about three years since its first full album "Unlock My World" in 2023.

"Glow ME" has been introduced as an album about the process of discovering a shining "me." The explanation commonly confirmed across reports is that emotions such as excitement, courage and comfort, felt through new relationships and experiences, become the power that helps the self grow. The album title also focuses less on external gazes and more on finding one's own light.

One notable point in this album is that all members participated broadly in the song work. fromis_9 is currently active as a five-member group consisting of Song Ha-young, Park Ji-won, Lee Chae-young, Lee Na-gyung and Baek Ji-heon. A full album is a format that can show a team's musical direction more broadly through the number and structure of its tracks. The members' participation makes this album feel less like a simple seasonal comeback and more like a project containing the group's own story.

The album contains 10 tracks in total: title track "Vitamin ME," along with "ETERNAL," "Pocket Treat," "Blue Heart," "Screen Time," "Teacher," "Cold Blood," "Why do I cry?," "DAY 1" and "Wonderland." Even from the track titles, the album appears to bring together bright imagery, inner emotions and memories of relationships. However, the specific musical completeness of each song and the flow of the full album are matters to be evaluated through listening after release.

The title track "Vitamin ME" has been introduced as a song built around a Latin rhythm-based groove and a repetitive melody. Multiple outlets described it as a summer song like a "vitamin" that brightens the day in moments when energy is needed. The song appears to connect fromis_9's bright and refreshing image with the feeling of the summer season, while adding Latin rhythm as an attempt at a new color.

The music video was also released on the same day. The "Vitamin ME" music video uploaded to YouTube is content that visually presents the album concept. The vitamin objects, vivid colors and summer vitality emphasized in the teasers and concept images connect with the title of the song. However, the video's detailed direction and symbols should be read based on official explanations and the released content.

This comeback also connects with the flow from fromis_9's summer activities last year. Reports from outlets including Electronic Times and Financial News noted that fromis_9 carried out summer promotions last year with its sixth mini album "From Our 20's" and title track "LIKE YOU BETTER," and that the song stayed in the upper ranks of Melon Top 100 for three consecutive weeks. That performance forms part of the background for "Glow ME" again aiming at the summer market.

fromis_9 was formed through the 2017 Mnet audition program "Idol School." Since debut, the group has centered its activities on bright, refreshing musical color and polished performance. Recently, amid changes in member composition and agency environment, the team has been reorganizing its direction, and this second full album is an important result released within that process.

A full album is difficult to evaluate only through short-term promotional activity. The seasonal feel of the title track, the narrative of the B-sides, member participation, and later stages and content all need to accumulate for the album's position to become clear. What can currently be confirmed is that fromis_9 has returned with its first full album in about three years and opened a new chapter of summer activities centered on "Vitamin ME." How "Glow ME" maintains the group's refreshing image while showing musical expansion will become clearer through post-release stages and music-platform response.
