MΛYDΛY

MΛYDΛY is an eight-member girl group formed under OurWay Entertainment! They are the first group to debut under the company. The members were all former trainees from different companies, before being handpicked by Kazz & company. The groups concept is very much connected to MIƧƒIT - the groups discovered & now rule 'Haven', a world filled with hope, a contrast to our very own. The girls reach out to their fans, bringing them to Haven & making sure their voices are heard!

Each of the members represent a certain color & struggle, to which anyone can relate to!

The group released a pre-debut single titled "Scream" on November 3, 2020. They officially debuted on December 14, 2020, with the mini album "Chapter One: Take-off".
