The album was promoted by the lead single "Rebel", which a press release described as "a seamless blend of intense drum beats with heavy synth bass sounds". An exhibition will be held from December 23 to January 6, 2024, on the island of Yeongjongdo, in Incheon, South Korea.[4] The duo will embark on the 20&2 tour across Asia beginning in Seoul on December 30, 2023, followed by shows in Hong Kong, Thailand and Taiwan into February 2024.[2]
