Why is ITZY's new mini album so short compared to their previous mini releases?

Quote from jdpm12021991

I know mini albums are normally short but ITZY's minis always had 6 to 7 tracks the shortest it's ever been was the ICY album.

At least we got a descent song out of this album.

Ngl, I did find it a little strange

Wonder if its too do with them being mid tour? Not needing to update set lists too much

I think they wanted to squeeze in another comeback to make sure ITZY had two comebacks, but they didn't want to do a repack.

That's the only way I can explain the quick comeback after Sneakers and the short mini.
