The band TOUCHED is releasing their first full-length album, "Polar Night" (literal title).

TOUCHED will release their first studio album, "Polar Night," through various online music streaming platforms at noon on October 15. Marking the first full-length album from TOUCHED since their debut in 2021, the release features a total of 12 tracks. The album title "Polar Night" was inspired by the natural phenomenon in which the sun does not rise above the horizon, causing night to persist.

Their agency explained that they compared emotions that do not easily fade over time to an endless night, expressing each member's "night of their own"—such as frustration, resentment, loss, and solitude—through music. The album was produced with production support from CJ Cultural Foundation's musician support program "Tune Up."

The double title tracks are "Fallen Angel" and "Farewell Star" Both songs were previously unveiled on major festival stages earlier this year and are officially being released as digital tracks through this album. The music video teaser for "Fallen Angel," which was released at midnight on October 14, depicts a sleeping self and another self playing instruments to awaken it coexisting within the same space. The full music video will be released alongside the album.

In line with the album's concept, key teaser content was unveiled at midnight (0:00). The album's first track, "Tunnel," was featured in the mood film, which includes narration by the band members.

The physical album will be released in two formats: a digipak standard edition and a box-type special edition. The physical CD includes exclusive narrations that cannot be heard on digital streaming platforms, bridging the songs together to connect all 12 tracks into a single cohesive flow.
