"#WINNER #OurTwentyFor #OTF #LOVEMELOVEME #ISLAND #SINGLEALBUM #NEWRELEASE #OUTNOW #YG #WINNERCITY #TEAMWINNER," the group captioned a promo on Instagram.

The music videos show Jinwoo, Seunghoon, Mino and Seungyoon enjoying the summer heat, and have racked up over 1.4 million views each. Our Twenty Four is meant to "reflect the youth, passion, and friendship of the members," according to Soompi.

Winner confirmed plans for Our Twenty Four in July following the release of their single album Fate Number Four in April. The record was the boy band's first release following singer Taehyun's departure in November.

"Nam Tae-hyun couldn't continue with us due to health reasons," Seunyoon told reporters in April.

Winner was formed on the 2013 reality competition WIN: Who Is Next, and released their debut studio album in 2014. The K-pop stars confessed at a press conference this week that used to feel like "ugly ducklings" in their early career.

"We eventually found our own style," Seunghoon said, according to the Korea Herald. "In a way, we are still looking for what 'color' suits us best. I hope our story becomes one of an ugly duckling maturing into a beautiful swan."
