Sum(me:r) is the ninth extended play by South Korean boy group Pentagon. The album was released on July 17, 2019 by Cube Entertainment under Kakao M distribution.[1] Member Yan An did not participate in the activities for health reasons.[2]
The song was released through several music portals, including MelOn, iTunes, and Spotify.[3][4][5]
In September, 2020, "Humph" went viral on social media and internet communities. A Korean news outlet called the song "perfect for the COVID-19 pandemic situation." The lyrics "Do not cross the line Stop / No access to there are no access / Oh you have crossed the line right now / Oh, please keep it" evoke messaging from social distancing campaigns. This resulted in the rapid increasing of the number of direct cam videos and music videos from the "Humph" music broadcast on YouTube.[6]
This album's title Sum(me:r) represents 'me' (Pentagon) being put in the sum function along with the letter 'r' which stands for "romance, rock n' roll, relax, and role".
