JAKARTA - The upcoming summer will be increasingly seen with many comebacks from musicians and groups. Bolbbalgan4, which is planned for a comeback, also enlivened by releasing a pre-single titled Leo with Baekhyun EXO on Thursday, May 7.

After Woo Jiyoon left the duo, Ahn Jiyoung remained a soloist under the name of the group that raised his name. This release marks the opening of Bolbbalgan4's first comeback without Jiyoon.

Jiyoung's voice sounded perfect with a cheerful song in the middle of summer. Coupled with EXO's main vocalist, it resulted in a relaxed and fun collaboration. The two of them harmonize with Leo, who tells him how happy he feels when he meets someone he likes.

The melodiousness of this duet is accompanied by simple jazz strings and piano. The MV completes the feeling with warm pastel colors as the main backdrop. In the video, Jiyoung looks happy and even happier when he hears Baekhyun's voice on the radio.

Leo became the pre-single for the mini album titled Puberty Book II: A Flower The Butterfly Has Seen which will be released on May 13. There are five tracks included in the album namely Blank, Dandelion, Hug, Counseling, and Leo which were released on Thursday, May 7.

This collaboration will be Bolbbalgan4's first with an artist outside their agency, Shofar Music. Bolb4 is often a collaborator for other singers but it's different from this comeback where it invites Baekhyun from the EXO group.

The two digimon (digital monsters) are united in a duet written by Jiyoung and Vanilla Man. This duet was warmly welcomed by fans by inserting the hashtag # BOL4XBAEKHYUN. In 2017, Baekhyun once expressed his wish to have a duet with Bolbbalgan4 and this time his wish came true three years later.

On the other hand, Baekhyun is preparing for a comeback for the second album which will be released at the end of May. He also shared his first teaser photo on his birthday, May 6. Looks like, the comeback in May will have a lot of competition!
