Showing off a top-class groove even for a rookie group, they kickstart their hip-hop colors in a clasping strike. Throwing the angsty cool lines on “Girls Girls Girls”, “I Like You” and “Follow Me”; the rest of their songs represent their confidence to enter the thriving Korean music scene.
Owning their rookie year with a blast, the group unleashed their first studio album, Identify.
