AND2BLE, which has confirmed a May 26 debut in the music scene, is emerging as a ‘team that will make it’ even before its official debut. This is because it is not the simple emergence of rookies, but a team that already possesses skill and direction.

AND2BLE (Jang Hao, Yoo Seung-eon, Ricky, Kim Gyu-bin, Han Yu-jin) recently released a prologue on its official YouTube channel that chronicles its debut journey. By turning the debut process itself into content, they clearly showed how fiercely they have honed their own color. The sweat the five members shed day and night in the recording studio and the choreography practice room was enough to turn fans’ expectations into conviction.

AND2BLE’s debut preparations were anything but smooth. They did not look for shortcuts by relying on current popularity, either. To record the debut album, all the members repeated hundreds of takes, closely monitoring one another’s voices, and they matched even a single angle of the choreography with meticulous detail, revealing a tenacity for ‘perfection’.

In particular, their resolve, “Showing it on stage is better than a hundred words,” revealed both musical confidence and sincerity. Centered on leader Jang Hao, the members defined practice as a time of growth that surpasses individual limits and strengthened their teamwork.

Their ambitions are equally bold. AND2BLE has set its sights on winning Rookie of the Year (a once-in-a-lifetime honor), as well as standing on dream stages like Coachella and Lollapalooza. Having clearly set what the team is aiming for, they said in unison, “We will become a ‘flying team’ that creates tremendous synergy as each individual comes together.”

The group’s name also aligns with this direction. A blend of ‘AND’ and ‘DOUBLE’, it signals that diverse inner selves will overlap to expand ‘selfhood’, a keyword that emphasizes both each member’s capabilities and the team’s synergy. In the prologue, AND2BLE naturally wove in the process of revealing their individual colors while converging into one team.

At the same time, ‘AND2BLE’ is also a promise to change and grow at every moment, continually planting new expectations in fans and the general public alike. As AND2BLE embarks on full-fledged debut promotions and builds its own identity, attention is focused on the huge wave it is set to stir in the music industry.
