The Return is the tenth studio album of South Korean boy band Shinhwa, in commemoration of their 14th anniversary. It was released on 23 March 2012 by Shinhwa Company and distributed by CJ E&M Music.[1][2] It marked the group's comeback to the music industry after a four-year hiatus, since the release of Volume 9 in 2008, as the band members served individual mandatory military services.[3][4]

It was first released as a limited edition and followed by a Thanks Edition on 11 April. Commercially, the album sold a cumulative total of 88,059 copies as of August 2013. In support of the album, the group embarked on their Grand Tour: The Return with shows across Asia.
