LNGSHOT are closing out their breakout rookie year with the release of their second EP, S.W.I.S.H., alongside a music video for its energetic title track, ‘Bananas’.
Released on 10 November via MORE VISION, Kakao Entertainment, and Atlantic Music Group, the five-track project showcases the K-pop quartet's evolving sound, blending R&B, hip-hop, and pop while reflecting on their ambitions and experiences since debuting earlier this year.
Leading the release is ‘Bananas’, a high-energy dance-pop anthem that draws inspiration from the expression "go bananas". The track channels the group's confidence and determination to reach new heights, while its accompanying music video pays homage to K-pop's past while looking towards the future the members hope to create.
The EP's title, S.W.I.S.H., stands for "Swag With Integrity Shapes History", reflecting LNGSHOT's commitment to authenticity and creative independence. All four members, OHYUL, RYUL, WOOJIN, and LOUIS, were actively involved in the project's creative process, bringing their individual personalities and musical influences to the record.
Alongside ‘Bananas’, the EP features ‘Wanna Go’, ‘Up & Away’, and ‘Beep Beep’, as well as the previously released alternative R&B single ‘Masterpiece’. The latter arrived last month with a music video starring Japanese actress Ayaka Miyoshi, which reached No. 1 on YouTube's trending chart.
The release follows a remarkable first year for LNGSHOT, who have already surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify, made inroads into U.S. Top 40 radio, and performed on international stages.
Formed under Jay Park's independent label MORE VISION, the group were introduced with the self-produced 4SHOBOIZ MIXTAPE before officially debuting in January with their first EP, SHOT CALLERS. The project established their signature blend of melodic R&B, hip-hop, and pop, spawning breakout tracks including ‘Moonwalkin’, ‘FaceTime’, and ‘Never Let Go’.
‘Moonwalkin’ has since become one of the group's biggest hits, accumulating more than 120 million Spotify streams and 64 million YouTube views. The song also entered Mediabase's U.S. Top 40 radio chart in October, while a performance of ‘Never Let Go’ on Genius Open Mic went viral, attracting more than 5.6 million views.
Their debut also earned critical recognition, with Complex naming SHOT CALLERS among the best K-pop albums of 2026 so far, while Billboard selected the quartet as its K-Pop Rookie of the Month.

Beyond their recorded music, LNGSHOT have continued expanding their international presence. Following the release of their trainee-era compilation Training Day in March, the group reunited with Jay Park for the collaborative mixtape 4SHOBOIZ Vol. 2: 4SHOVILLE in May.
They subsequently joined the rapper as special guests on his SERENADES & BODY ROLLS World Tour, performing across Latin America, North America, Europe, and the UK.
With S.W.I.S.H., LNGSHOT build on that momentum, bringing a more developed sound and renewed confidence to their latest chapter as they continue establishing themselves on the global K-pop stage.
