Korean boy band BEAST has returned to the local music scene with the release of their first full-length album.

The group's first album titled "Fiction and Fact" was unveiled on various online music websites at midnight today, while the full-length music video for its title track "Fiction" is set to be revealed at noon.

"Fiction" has already scored the No. 1 spot on a number of real-time music charts including Naver, Cyworld, Daum, Bugs, Mnet, Dosirak and Soribada, while other songs from the album such as "Back To You," "The Fact," "Freeze," "You," "Though I Called (translated title)" and "Virus" have placed within the top 10 slots.

Just yesterday, the official album cover of "Fiction and Fact" was revealed, showing the members dressed in accordance with the concept for the new release.

They also unveiled a digital single named "On Rainy Days" on various online music websites last week as well as releasing the teaser video to their title track "Fiction."

The boys will give their comeback performance this Thursday on music cable channel Mnet’s televised music show “M! CountDown."

Composed of members Du-jun, Hyun-seung, Yo-seop, Dong-woon, Gi-kwang and Jun-hyung, BEAST made their debut in October 2009 with their first mini-album “"BEAST IS THE B2ST" and has since produced hit songs such as “Bad Girl,” “Shock" and “Soom.”

The boys are scheduled to visit several countries in Asia for their first fan tour in the region which will kick off in July.
