82MAJOR drops 'HEAT' countdown: MV and single set for September 1

82MAJOR's second single HEAT drops September 1 at 6 PM, complete with the music video.

The pre-release schedule is packed. Concept photos land August 12 and 13. A single preview follows August 18, with album pre-orders opening August 19. The highlight medley comes August 20. MV teasers arrive August 27 and 30. September 2 brings something tagged "It's Out of Control."

HEAT follows their fifth mini-album FEELM from April 5, 2026, which broke their own initial-sales record. The title track Sign hit No. 9 on Billboard's "25 Best K-pop Songs of 2026" list. (Billboard's ranking, not a fan vote.)

The comeback lands after a string of sold-out shows. Fan concerts in Seoul and Hong Kong. A solo concert in Bangkok, Thailand. All gone.
