On Aug.

3 at midnight, the group will release the official music video for "MOON" — a track that first sparked fervor among fans during its world tour opener in Seoul earlier this summer.

The release marks the fourth music video rollout from the group’s third mini-album, CHOOM, following visual treatments for the title track, "SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA," and "I LIKE IT."
