HYBE said on the 3rd that TUIDE, the first girl group from its new label ABD, will make its official debut on the 24th with the release of its first mini-album "TUNE & PLAY."
"TUNE & PLAY" is an album that tunes different musical languages into a single rhythm (TUNE) and maximizes the joy (PLAY) found within it. It embodies TUIDE's ambition to present a new trend in the global market with sounds that cross the boundaries of generation, culture, and language.
The visuals of the seven members—Seohee, Seoyeon, Elena, Jia, Saki, Sea, and Lee Ha-nui—have also been unveiled. The members posted introduction photos and videos on the team's official social network service (SNS) the previous day. Posing in a space decorated with a colorful team logo, the members draw attention with their distinctive styling and cool atmosphere.
The seven members, who come from diverse cultural backgrounds including Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan, complete TUIDE's unique team color. Born between 2006 and 2011, all members are teenagers who plan to deliver a distinctive kind of enjoyment to global music fans based on their pronounced individual personalities and multinational synergy.
Ahead of their official debut, the members held a pre-release event at Layer Studio 11 in Mapo-gu, Seoul, on the 1st and 2nd, leaving a strong impression on fans. Although they performed all the tracks from their debut album at the event even before any team information had been disclosed, the members' outstanding skills and musical conviction reportedly came through clearly. On that day, TUIDE delivered refreshing performances to five easy-listening songs, drawing an enthusiastic response from the audience.
