The rookie girl group ifeye is gaining attention as a '5th generation hot rookies' and is raising expectations ahead of their debut on April 8. Ifeye will make their first appearance with the title track 'NERDY' from their debut album 'ERLU BLUE', receiving praise for their visuals, performance, and production team as fully prepared newcomers.
With the debut day just one day away, we outlined the points that make it impossible not to look forward to ifeye's debut.
▲ 6 members, 6 colors of 'center-level' visuals
Ifeye, a six-member girl group consisting of Kasia, Rahee, Wonhwayeon, Sasha, Taelin, and Miyu, boasts 'center-level' visuals and individuality among all members. Through teaser videos, mood films, and visual trailers, they have already showcased each member's distinct concept absorption and presence, leading to reactions among fans that it's already 'difficult to choose a bias member.' In particular, the members' overwhelming visuals that harmonize with the fresh yet mysterious image of the 'ERLU BLUE' concept have attracted attention even before their debut.
▲ Proven skills through performance
Ifeye's performance skills are also noteworthy. In a recently released choreography challenge video for Jennie's solo song 'like JENNIE', they captivated audiences with their energetic performance and intricate formations. Thanks to the buzz, even before their debut, the dance crew We Dem Boyz, who choreographed and directed 'like JENNIE', praised them, saying, 'They're amazing.' This goes beyond a simple cover and showcases the stage in ifeye's own style, proving their capability as a performance-oriented group.
▲ Support from top-tier K-pop producers
Ifeye's debut song 'NERDY' is produced by global songwriter Jon Shave, who has four tracks on Charli XCX's album 'Brat', which is considered one of 2024's biggest pop highlights. He is a hitmaker with a track record of working with global top artists such as Iggy Azalea, Zayn, Ellie Goulding, Britney Spears, and Bebe Rexha. There are high expectations for the new music he will present in collaboration with ifeye.
Additionally, it holds great significance that ifeye is the first girl group produced by renowned K-pop choreographer and producer RyuD. Since RyuD, who has been responsible for the choreography of numerous idols on the K-pop stage, has stepped in as a producer, we can expect not only the music but also the quality of the performance.
Ifeye's debut EP 'ERLU BLUE' will be officially released on April 8 at 6 p.m. through various music platforms.
