XIAOJUN's first mini album 'Hey, Somebody' is set for October 26

WayV’s XIAOJUN has a release date for his first mini album. Hey, Somebody drops on October 26, 2026, according to a post that the SMTOWN account reposted from WayV’s official account on October 5. The date comes with both CST and KST labels, and both point to the same day.

For fans, the date is the main thing to lock in. The post doesn’t say much else. It gives the album title, the format (a first mini album, so not a full-length release), and a tagline, “EVERYTHING, ALL AT ONCE, NEO.” The tagline isn’t explained in the post, so it’s unclear whether it refers to the album’s concept or something bigger. The hashtags tie it to NCT’s 10th anniversary, but the post doesn’t say how the album connects to that anniversary.

The repost came from SM Entertainment’s main account, which is standard promotion for a release from one of its groups. At the time the post was captured, it had about 547K views, 20K likes, 7.6K reposts and 276 replies. Those are early-stage numbers. They tell you the announcement reached a lot of people fast, but they don’t tell you anything about sales yet.

What’s missing from the source: no tracklist, no concept photos, no teaser schedule, and no pre-order details. Those usually come in the weeks before a mini album, so that’s where to look next. If you want the record-side context once sales open, compare the first-week numbers against XIAOJUN’s group releases with WayV. That’s the fair baseline.
