It conveys the excitement and fluttering anticipation of that one special day of the year, promising unpredictable tension and fresh joy born from each member's distinct personality and vibe coming together.

Furthermore, "Birthday" goes beyond a simple anniversary to signify a moment where anyone can feel happiest and most honest in their own skin. This raises expectations for the honest and confident charm they will showcase on stage.

The Members' Past Journeys

People are already paying close attention to the impressive backgrounds of members who have previously made their faces known through survival programs. Looking at the lineup, it is clear that they are a gathering of talent from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Cho Hye-jin takes on the role of leader, having first turned heads with powerful waacking skills on Street Dance Girls Fighter 2 and then proving her exceptional capabilities by winning the crown on KBS2's The Ddanddara.

The lineup also features solid powerhouses like Shin Hye-won, who participated in Belift Lab's survival show R U Next?, and Yu, who showcased standout performances on The Ddanddara and SBS's Universe Ticket.

Rounding out the group's seven distinct colors are Yu and Kirara from Japan, Baby from Taiwan, and Achiraya from Thailand, bringing together a rich mix of cultural backgrounds.
