With the rookie idol group WAYF BOYS(Wayf Boys) set to release its first single ‘WAYF BOYS DO’ on the 7th, executive producer Czaer(Son Seong-ho) delivered a message in person.

Along with the message that not everything may be perfect yet but every great journey needs a first step, he also asked that the members be seen not as finished products or flawless beings but as people who will keep learning and growing through their music and performances.

Reactions from fans who have followed WAYF for a long time also drew attention. One fan wrote, “I have watched since the WAYF on air days, when there was only Ryan. It is beautiful and I am proud that the members have now become one group that makes the music they love.” Another fan shared, “I have supported some of the members for a long time, and now I am proud that all five have endured so much to come this far,” and added, “Rather than perfection, I want to see strong music and performances from a team that keeps learning and growing.”
