Legends of the Dance Floor Return
Koyote is officially back—and they’re bringing vintage vibes with them. On July 1, the iconic trio (Kim Jongmin, Shinji, and Baekga) dropped a teaser for their upcoming single “Call Me,” ramping up anticipation for their long-awaited return to the stage.
Retro Meets EDM in a Nightclub Throwback
The teaser video, shared via Koyote’s official social media, opens with the members suited up in all-black with sleek sunglasses, channeling serious charisma. Shot inside an actual nightclub, the video captures a full 90s dance throwback—from laser lighting to nostalgic outfits and props. The whole thing feels like a love letter to Korea’s golden age of dance music, all wrapped in a cheeky, modern bow.
Think: the spirit of Saturday Night Fever meets Seoul’s club scene circa ’98—with a splash of Koyote’s signature playfulness.
27 Years Strong and Still Partying
The video closes with a goosebump-inducing countdown, scrolling backwards from 2025 to 1998, the year Koyote first debuted. It’s a visual time capsule celebrating over two decades of teamwork, friendship, and unforgettable rhythms. Highlights include point choreography and spirited dance scenes that remind fans why Koyote is still a household name in the K-pop scene.
A New Sound Called ‘RE-DM’
“Call Me” isn’t just banking on nostalgia. The song reunites Koyote with hit producer Choi Jun-young—the genius behind their classics like “Pure Love” and “Sad Dream.” This time, the crew is going futuristic with a genre they’re calling RE-DM (Retro + EDM), a fusion of throwback melodies and cutting-edge beats.
Based on the teaser alone, the hook is already addictive — boasting catchy lyrics and groove-worthy rhythms fans can’t wait to dance to.
Concert Tour: From Sydney to Seoul
To mark their return, Koyote will kick off the ‘2025 Koyote Festival’ world tour, starting July 3 in Sydney, Australia. They’ll hit key cities across South Korea, including Daegu on September 7, Seoul on September 20 and 21, Ulsan on November 15, Busan on November 29, and Changwon on December 27.
This tour promises to be a full-on celebration of joy, music, and dance—Koyote style. Whether you’ve been a fan since the “순정 (Pure Love)” era or you’re new to the party, this is one retro revival you don’t want to miss.
New Single Drops Soon
Koyote’s new single “Call Me” will officially be released on music platforms on July 6. Brace yourselves for a blast from the past with a futuristic twist—and get ready to dance like it’s 1998.
