The talented K-pop boy group n.SSign is officially preparing to kick off the new year with a burst of energy and style.
On December 18, 2025, it was announced that the group is in the final stages of preparation for their highly anticipated January comeback.
The new project, titled Funky like me, promises to showcase a fresh side of the group’s musicality and performance prowess, further solidifying their position as a rising force in the industry.
A Strategic Countdown to Release
Following the release of their promotional schedule on December 17, n.SSign has initiated a detailed countdown to engage their global fanbase, known as COSMO.
The rollout began this month with a series of high-quality content drops designed to build anticipation.

Fans can expect multiple sets of concept photos that will reveal the visual direction of the album, along with individual short films that highlight the unique charms and talents of each member.
As the calendar turns to January 2026, the group will ramp up their activities. The teaser schedule includes additional concept photos, a story film that likely delves into the narrative themes of the album, and the official tracklist.
To give fans a taste of the music, n.SSign will also release a highlight medley and a music video teaser in the days leading up to the full launch.
This systematic approach to promotions ensures that the group maintains momentum throughout the winter season.
Album Release and Career Trajectory
The new album, Funky like me, along with its title track’s music video, is scheduled for a global release on January 13, 2026, at 6 PM KST.
While specific details regarding the tracklist are being kept under wraps for the final teaser reveal, the title suggests a vibrant, rhythmic, and perhaps retro-inspired sound that aligns with the “funky” theme.
This comeback follows a very productive period for the group. In 2024, n.SSign released two successful mini-albums, Happy & and Love Potion, which helped them expand their presence in both the domestic and Japanese markets.
Their most recent release prior to this was the special album Itty Bitty in June 2025. With Funky like me, n.SSign aims to build on that foundation and start 2026 on a high note, demonstrating their growth as artists and their ability to tackle diverse musical genres.
Expectations for the “Funky” Era
n.SSign, which was formed through the survival show Stars Awakening, has consistently received praise for their strong vocal capabilities and synchronized choreography.
Funky like me is expected to leverage these strengths while introducing a more experimental or upbeat vibe than their previous works.

With a packed promotional schedule and a clear artistic vision, n.SSign is undoubtedly one of the groups to watch as the new year begins.
