K-POP Named Youth Vol. 39 - Kep1er, Born from 'Girls Planet 999', Finally Debuts Today!

Congratulations on your debut today, Kep1er! 💐

Kep1er is a girl group formed from the survival show 'Girls Planet 999', which aired its finale on October 22nd of last year.

Groups from survival shows are characterized by having already gained many fans before their debut, and I think Kep1er has also succeeded in attracting fans of the show. However, with their debut delayed due to staff and members contracting COVID-19, I wonder what kind of start they will have.

By the way, IVE, who debuted on December 1st of last year, recorded sales of '150,000 copies' in their first week. It is said that Kep1er's debut album has surpassed '200,000 copies' in pre-orders, but I wonder how much that will grow in actual sales.

But first, I intend to fully enjoy what their music is actually like.

Now, please take a look at the debut song music video that was just released today, January 3, 2022, at 6:00 PM!

Kep1er 'WA DA DA' (MV views: 300,000 (in 20 minutes of release!) / January 3, 2022 -)

Next, let's move on to their debut stage performance!

An up-tempo and catchy girl crush!

The unique charm of each and every member is overflowing!

If I were to describe each one of them...

Kim Chae-hyun's clear and expansive singing voice!

Huening Bahiyyih's natural idol freshness!

Choi Yu-jin's perfect performance cultivated from her time in CLC!

Kim Da-yeon's high-level dance, rap, and singing skills!

Seo Young-eun's evolving visuals and punchy singing voice!

Kang Ye-seo's fairy-like cuteness and expressive power!

Hikaru Ezaki's rap skills and intense gaze that grab you in an instant!

Mashiro Sakamoto's cute smile and sharp dance moves!

Shen Xiaoting's overwhelmingly enchanting charisma!

The chorus of WA DA DA is also an addictive, catchy track.

Now, how will Kep1er establish their presence in the highly competitive 4th generation of K-POP, ranging from top runners like aespa and ITZY to IVE, who have gained incredible momentum just one month after their debut?

Furthermore, with the powerhouse group Girls On The Top (GOT) debuting on the same day and at the same time,

let's look forward to seeing what kind of success Kep1er will achieve from here on out, and let's support them!
