How did the rookie global hip-hop group H//PE Princess (Hype Princess) captivate college festival stages?
Hype Princess, who began full-scale domestic activities on the 11th by pre-releasing the title track Stolen(KR ver.) from their first mini-album 17.7 as a digital single, showcased a 100% live performance using handheld microphones, proving both solid skill and stage presence and drawing attention with a level of completeness on stage that belied their pre-debut rookie status.
This can be seen from the recent flood of love calls. Hype Princess started with Daegu University festival on the 12th and successfully completed the stage at Hongik University Seoul campus on the 13th; they have confirmed appearances at The Catholic University of Korea Gangneung campus on the 19th, Hongik University Sejong campus on the 20th, The Catholic University on the Seongsim campus on the 21st, Sangmyung University (Seoul campus) on the 22nd, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (Seoul campus) on June 1, and Dong-Ah Institute of Media and Arts festival on June 2.
Among rookie artists before their official debut, Hype Princess ranked first in the number of college festival appearances, and with performances that showed unrookie calm, stable live vocals, and stages where each member's individuality shone, they are rapidly gaining momentum and spreading by word of mouth among hip-hop listeners.
Hype Princess is set to continue this upward trend as they make their official debut with the release of their first mini-album 17.7 on the 27th.
