Nine years after they had to change their name from BEAST to HIGHLIGHT, the K-pop group announced that they are going to be using their original name for their new music.

After reaching an agreement with their previous agency Cube Entertainment to use the BEAST trademark again last year, HIGHLIGHT announced that their new track “Endless Ending” will be released under the original name.

Sharing the good news on social media on 16 April, the group posted the image of their new mini album and wrote, “HIGHLIGHT THE 6th MINI ALBUM [From Real to Surreal]. 2025. 04. 28. 18:00. BEAST X HIGHLIGHT – Endless Ending PRE-RELEASE! 2025. 04. 16. 18:00.”

“Endless Ending” is a song that compares a past relationship to a movie ending, and it melts the regret over the ending of a breakup and the longing for past memories.

It is noted that the group, consisting of Yoon Doo-joon, Yang Yo-seob, Lee Gi-kwang, and Son Dong-woon, made their debut in 2009 as a six-member group that include Jang Hyun-seung and Jong Hyun-jung. In 2016, the group changed labels from Cube to Around Us Entertainment and had to change their name to Highlight due to trademark issue.
