&TEAM Makes Official Korean Debut, Embodying the “HYBE DNA” and Targeting the K-pop Market
Boy group &TEAM has officially set its sights on the home of K-pop—Korea.
On October 28, &TEAM (EJ, Fuma, K, Nicholas, Yuma, Jo, Harua, Taki, and Maki) held a showcase at Blue Square SOL Travel Hall in Hannam-dong, Yongsan, Seoul, to celebrate the release of their Korean debut album “Back to Life.”
The members shared, “We don’t feel pressured. We’re actually excited to perform on the same stages as so many amazing artists. We see it as a competition with ourselves. &TEAM’s biggest strength lies in our teamwork — when the nine of us come together, our different personalities and skills unite into one powerful force on stage, and we want to show that to the public.”
They continued, “We’ve prepared not only songs and choreography but also performances that convey deep emotions. Since many of our members speak multiple languages — not only Japanese and Korean — we believe we can reach audiences all around the world.”
&TEAM’s first Korean mini album, “Back to Life,” was officially released at 6 p.m. on October 27.
