Big Ocean, the first K-pop group composed of members with hearing impairments, will release its first EP “Follow” on Nov. 12, its agency Parastar Entertainment said on Thursday.

The lead track, "FLOW," was produced by Mark Batson, a producer who has collaborated with global artists like Eminem and Beyoncé and is recognized for his contributions across genres such as pop, hip-hop, R&B, rock, jazz and classical, with over 150 million albums sold worldwide.


The agency shared in a press release that “Follow” carries Big Ocean’s message to “join them on a journey to find happiness.” Through the lead track, “FLOW,” Big Ocean seeks to promote the value of "becoming happy through music made for oneself."

Big Ocean officially debuted on April 20, Korea’s Day of People with Disabilities. “Follow” marks its first release, following its previous third digital single, “SLOW (Feat. Young K (DAY6)),” in August.
