- SQU4D, which launched NMIXX, unveils unconventional promotion
OVTBLUE, the first boy group under SQU4D (스쿼드), the artist division of JYP Entertainment, will release its pre-debut single "Balloon Human" at 6 p.m. on the 11th. The track marks the group's official start to activities as their first publicly released song, featuring lyrics and composition contributions from the members ahead of their full debut in 2027.
At midnight on the same day, SQU4D posted a one-minute-and-45-second performance video on OVTBLUE's official social media channels. The footage shows young men with their faces partially covered walking between urban landscapes and nature, offering the first glimpse of the visuals of members whose lineup and names have not yet been revealed.
"Balloon Human" is a song that expresses the feeling of clearing one's mind and lying on top of clouds after a tough day. It is the original version of the instrumental featured on the promotional website that opened on the 6th, with OVTBLUE members participating in the music production process. The members described the track as "the song that contains the most of our color, blue. It feels like flying. Worth looking forward to."
The group name OVTBLUE is derived from the idiom "out of the blue," meaning an unexpected moment or a surprising discovery. SQU4D is preparing for OVTBLUE's official debut in 2027, presenting the boy group as its first project roughly five years after NMIXX.
Previously, NMIXX conducted pre-orders for its debut single "AD MARE" about seven months before its release, recording 61,667 pre-orders. OVTBLUE's pre-debut single "Balloon Human" will be available on various online music platforms at 6 p.m. today (the 11th).
