ALL(H)OURS returns with their sixth mini-album, UNBOUND. This release comes shortly after the release of its previous mini-album, NO DOUBT, on which they declared “no doubt” in the path they choose to walk. Now, with UNBOUND, the group breaks away from orders and molds set by others and builds their own, declaring freedom to decide their own destiny. Following the release of this mini-album, ALL(H)OURS will launch their first world tour, < RISE UP >, opening in Seoul on October 10, 2026, with North American tour dates to follow in January 2027.

“The 6th Mini-Album, UNBOUND, builds on the determination and confidence expressed in the previous mini-album to keep moving forward without doubting oneself. Rather than settling for existing conventions and frameworks or following a predetermined fate, the album carries the message of creating new formulas and new frameworks that only ALL(H)OURS can define.” - KUNHO

UNBOUND contains six tracks, starting with the title track, “HOP,” a hybrid hip-hop track that layers phonk textures and rock over a hard trap beat. The powerful chorus especially showcases ALL(H)OURS’ distinct energy level. The album's second title track,e album’s second title track, “DANG DANG.” It combines an EDM rhythm that creates a danceable pre-chorus intro with a heavy metalcore texture that releases an energetic chorus. Lyrically, the track follows a narrator who sails into a storm without a map or compass, holding only the conviction that there is nothing left to lose. The chorus hook, “Dang-Dang,” functions as a sea shanty and a mighty group chant.

“‘DANG DANG’ is a title track that goes beyond simply breaking free from existing conventions. Leaving a false paradise behind, ALL(H)OURS sets out on a path of our own choosing. With our long-dormant, powerful energy unleashed, we are ready to deliver unforgettable moments and performances that no one else can replicate.” - ON:N

The third track of UNBOUND is “Only Me,” written by YOUMIN, who also had a hand in its composition. It is a groovy and sensual R&B dance track, characterized by a heavy bass and gritty distorted guitar tone that reveals the mature side of ALL(H)OURS’ charm. The fourth track,, “S!REN,” written by XAYDEN, who also co-composed it.  As the music shifts from trap into rage, the tension of the drop vividly conveys the central theme of choosing possibility over fear with bold confidence. The fifth track, “Slow Motion (헤엄),” is a track built on melodic trap and future bass with layered synthesizers, and marks the first time the group recorded in the genre. HYUNBIN co-wrote and co-composed “Slow Motion (헤엄).” Closing the album is “VIVA,” a track that KUNHO helped write the lyrics and compose. The track is a refreshing song set against a band arrangement, delivering a message of releasing the anxiety that accompanies new beginnings and embracing freedom. Its singalong chorus, led by a bright melodic line and a guitar sound, closes UNBOUND with an uplifting energy.
