Girl group LOONA and the signature tag will be removed and a new start will be made with girl band LATENCY.

Latency (Hee-yeon, Ji-won, Hyun-jin, Ha-eun, Semi) held a showcase to commemorate the release of their debut album "LATE O'CLOCK" at the Shocking K-Pop Center in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 18th.

On this day, Ji-won said, "I am happy, excited, and nervous. I will tell you how we got together and what kind of music and stories we want to tell you. Since we started together with a musical dream, we practiced very hard not to disappoint the public. Today is the time for the results to be proven. I hope it will be a great start for Leighton City," he said in his debut speech.

Semi then said, "As it's a new challenge, I'm very nervous, but that's how excited I am. We will show you better and better performances in the future," Hyun-jin said, "We will show you great performances as it is an album we have worked hard on."

Ha-eun said, "I'm thrilled that five songs full of affection will be released to the world. I am grateful that this music reached many people. I'm excited, but I feel like I have no choice but to feel responsible and burdened. I won't disappoint you with my expectations by working harder," Hee-yeon said, "It's my first time working as a team, so I'm looking forward to it more. There is also tension. I will do my best to repay you as much as many people have waited for me," he said.

Leightoncy is a band formed by members who have been active in different girl groups. It consists of signature support (guitar), Ha-eun (keyboard), Semi (base), and Hyunjin (drum) of LOONA, and Hee-yeon, a genius guitarist. Direct translation of the team name means "Jiyeon," but the members expressed their intention to tell the story through music that the moment that seemed late could eventually be a new beginning.

"LATE O'CLOCK" represents the passion for music, thirst for the stage, and an identity that does not stop challenging in Sinbo, which depicts the meaning of the first sharpness to meet after a long return from their respective times. The title song "Latency" was written by Ha Eun to release delicate emotions, and Jiwon focused on composing and highlighted the band sound of Latency.

How did Laiton City come to form a member. Ji Ji-won said, "When I first released a solo song, I came into contact with the CEO, and the CEO was preparing for the band, and he gave me a suggestion as a vocalist. I knew friends who were passionate about music, so I suggested it to Ha-eun and Semi, who signed it thinking, "If I do something together, I think there will be a good synergy," and I was a trainee with Hyun-jin.

Ji Ji-won then said, "I also suddenly remembered Hyun-jin saying that he played drums for a while 10 years ago and that it was fun. Just in time, Hyunjin is the FA. Even the visual is perfect. So I contacted him right away. Hyun-jin also had a great desire for music, so he couldn't make an easy decision, but he gladly said he would do it together, so he joined. The timing was so good. I think it's fate," he said, expressing a special affection for the members.

As there are many familiar faces, there is already a lot of interest in different member combinations, but on the other hand, there is an unfavorable view that they may be jumping on the band craze in the K-pop market. In addition, concerns are rising as he showed his somewhat clumsy skills as if the practice was not perfect on the stage that was first revealed to reporters.

In response, Ha-eun said, "I think we are interested in the eyes that are concerned and concerned about us. Even that attention is appreciated. He expressed confidence, saying, "We have no choice but to prove it through practice because it is composed of beginners and members who were originally doing K-pop music. In addition, Ha-eun said, "In the future, I think we will have to continue to learn in order to change the concern and attention from the band scene to a more positive perspective. "Even if I do an event and a performance, I will work hard and prove it with music with the intention of learning by watching the performance of the senior who comes with me," he said.

Regarding the difference from other bands, Ji-won said, "Hee-yeon is really good at guitar. I think playing the fancy guitar is our signature. We are also a band that is active as vocalists. The big advantage is that it can contain various colors. "Since I've been an idol for a long time, I think the energy and performance that each person emits on stage are also high," he said with confidence.
