Prior to their official debut, the fledgling rock band is set to open for FT Island's concert in Taipei, titled "2024 FT Island Live ‘Hey Day’ in Taipei," scheduled for Sunday.

FNC Entertainment, founded in 2006, has a rich history of nurturing alternative rock talents. Beyond the notable success of FT Island, CNBLUE, and N.Flying, the agency also introduced girl group AOA, initially debuting as a rock band before transitioning into the K-pop genre with a focus on dance-oriented music.

The agency's diverse portfolio includes not only rock bands but also various artists across different genres, including actor Jung Haein, boy bands SF9 and P1Harmony, and girl group Cherry Bullet.
