LNGSHOT cap off their breakout rookie year with their new EP, S.W.I.S.H, out now via MORE VISION, Kakao Entertainment, and Atlantic Music Group. The project is led by “Bananas,” a high-energy dance-pop anthem that reflects the group’s evolving world and emotions since their debut. Playing on the phrase “Go Bananas,” the track channels LNGSHOT’s ambitious dreams and unwavering confidence to reach new heights. The accompanying video sees LNGSHOT pay homage to K-pop’s past while celebrating how far the group have come and looking ahead to the future they’re determined to shape. In just ten months, OHYUL, RYUL, WOOJIN, and LOUIS have rapidly emerged as a global force, surpassing 500 million Spotify streams, breaking into the U.S. Top 40 radio, and selling out performances worldwide.

S.W.I.S.H., an acronym for “Swag With Integrity Shapes History,” serves as a powerful reflection of the group's ongoing commitment to authenticity. Building on their hands-on approach, all four LNGSHOT members played an active role in the EP’s creative process, bringing their distinct personalities, sonic style and strengths to the project. Including “Bananas,” the previously released, alt R&B single “Masterpiece,” “Wanna Go,” “Up & Away” and “Beep Beep,” the EP continues LNGSHOT’s seamless interplay between R&B, hip-hop and pop. The project was introduced last month with “Masterpiece,” accompanied by a music video starring Japanese actress Ayaka Miyoshi that reached #1 trending on YouTube.

LNGSHOT is a boy group from Jay Park’s independent label MORE VISION, built on the belief that a new generation of Korean artists can move with greater freedom, authorship and instinct. The group takes its name from “long shot,” a fearless strike against the odds. Before officially debuting, LNGSHOT released 4SHOBOIZ MIXTAPE, a self-produced project that laid the foundation for the group’s artist-led identity. Their January debut EP, SHOT CALLERS, further defined their sound, a blend of melodic R&B and pop with hip-hop at its core and propelled them from one of Korea’s most intriguing newcomers to a global phenomenon. The project spawned breakout tracks including “Moonwalkin’,” “FaceTime” and “Never Let Go.” A performance of the latter on Genius Open Mic went viral and has drawn over 5.6 million views. While “Moonwalkin’” has become the group’s calling card, entering Mediabase’s U.S. Top 40 radio chart last month, with over 120 million Spotify streams and over 64 million views on YouTube. Complex hailed SHOT CALLERS as “the year's most confident debut” in its selection of the best K-pop albums of 2026 so far, while Billboard named them K-Pop Rookie of the Month.

In just one year, LNGSHOT have built an impressive discography that includes the March release Training Day, a collection of trainee-era recordings offering fans a closer look at the group’s development before debut. In May, they joined their CEO and mentor, Jay Park, for 4SHOBOIZ Vol. 2: 4SHOVILLE, a hip-hop-driven collaborative mixtape. That partnership took LNGSHOT onto international stages as special guests on Jay Park’s [SERENADES & BODY ROLLS] World Tour, whose itinerary spanned Latin America, North America, Europe and the UK.
