ALLUME (@alllume) Ever the trendsetters of kpop, ALLUME began as a four member girl group made of former members of Angelico Entertainment's girl group SEASONS before becoming six two years later.. The group became well-known for their experimental concept and deep lore that leave fans always begging for more.

VENUS (@whileinvenus) VENUS debuted in 2018 with one of the fastest first wins in k-pop history. Their diverse concepts span from video games to time travel, with each title track perfectly encapsulating its era. Popularity has come with many scandals, but VENUS always endures.

MELLIMINX (@melliminx) MELLIMINX debuted as a four member group under Imaginaut Entertainment in 2018. Their unique name is a combination of the words "mellifluous" (meaning sweet) and "minx" (meaning a flirty girl) and perfectly shows their dual-sided concept. With a recent acquisition by Solstice Entertainment and a change in lineup, the girls are ready to break out of nugudom and break some records.

Alice Is Dead (@nuwos) Eveism's golden girls fallen from grace, Alice Is Dead is mainly known for their scandals & visuals and not their music. They've persisted through heavy boycotts and slowly begun to repair their reputations with the public mainly through maknae Yoobi's popularity and clean reputation compared to the older girls in the group.

Girls' World (@girlsw0rld) Girls' World began in the shadow of Girls' Generation, created as a second iteration of arguably the most popular girl group in all of k-pop. Since their 2019 debut, they've set themselves apart both from their predecessors and their peers with their bold music and concept marketed specifically towards girls & young women.

Moth House (@mothouse) The Nation's Maidens debuted in 2009 and are now a much-loved group for their thrilling lore and unique concept. All members, except for one, wear a mask to hide their identities from the public, leading fans to constantly speculate which of their favorites may have been a Maiden.

Chloe Kwon (@chloekwon) The Nation's Older Sister got her start on JYP Entertainment's surivival show SIXTEEN, narrowly missing out on a spot in TWICE. A solo career some deemed a consolation prize at the start has flourished thanks to Chloe's songwriting abilities and creative ambitions. She has recently opened her own label, Lovely Records, to keep creative control of her career.

August Moon (@august-m) Initially debuting under the infamous C9 Entertainment, August Moon quickly became Angelico Entertainment's best-selling male soloist after his contract was acquired. Dubbed a "new soul" by his fans for his endearing enthusiasm, his honeyed voice and emotionally poignant music showcases a much deeper side of the beloved idol.

ROSARIO (@rcsvric) After she escaped the Cloud Entertainment dungeon, ROSARIO redebuted to follow her dream of being a soloist. She came out swinging with her first full album just this April, full of songs she had had to leave in her hard drive to rot. Now, she's with an agency who actually cares about her wants & needs, and she's ready to dominate charts for herself.

Natalia (@lcvedior) If you don’t know Miss Natalia Hwang - commonly dubbed as Korea’s it girl - she’s a flamboyant solo artist and model under Zephyr Entertainment. Most known for her glamorous aura and extremely charismatic stage presence, Natalia is a certified fashion icon and a world renowned socialite. Her music is a reflection of her character, giving us club bops and a provocative sound.

Persona (@whoispersona) Persona made her solo debut in 2016 with the mini album feel so fine. Although she’s had her fair share of bullying scandals and saesang run-ins, she still continues to pump out music that spans bubble gum pop to ballads. She puts her heart into everything she makes and it shows through well she promotes and preforms each song.

Minsu (@millionxnine) Minsu started his career as a producer for famous boy groups like ATEEZ and TREASURE, as well as appearing as an actor in several music videos. He has since worked hard to make a name for himself as a soloist and looks to push boundaries & change trends.

Bliss (@saerois) Bliss Eun has never not been famous. She made her debut as a runway model at only 10 years old and debuted as an idol at 16 in a duo with her sibling Saint. Her scandalous solo discography continues to keep her in the headlines and on top of the chart.

ALLUME (@alllume) ALLUME's lore centers around an endless, dimension-hopping quest to find a lost lover only referred to as HIM (although the figure is occasionally played by a woman). The girls are stuck in a cycle of tragedy as fate will always separate them from HIM, forcing them to start their journey anew.

Moth House (@mothouse) Moth House's lore revolves around their namesake - the haunted manor called Moth House. Their story is shrouded in mystery as a well-suited compliment to the mystery of the member's real identities, with fans eager to put together the pieces of unsettling imagery to form the story.

NEBULA (@celenis) NEBULA's lore as a part of the LOONAverse places them in a fourth dimension not created by Heejin, but rather origanically formed. They create chaos after Alice's murder by Julia and efforts to undo this action only seed further troubles like the eventual murder of Vivi and betrayal of Olivia by YYXY. They seem to be the only ones with power even comparable to Heejin and eventually join LOONA to help restore order.

HEXCODE (@hcxcode) HEXCODE's lore revolves around a deadly game to become the Queen. Only one player may ever be Queen, so even the closest of alliances will end in bloodshed. As the game progresses, we are introduced to multiple versions of the group at different stages in their game, with one group attempting to stop the inevitable at any cost.

Crow (@thecrxw) Crow made her name known within the industry with her dark concepts. Being from a small company, she had to work to get her name out there, and she did. She’s infected the minds of her fans with her concept and lore, making you think and theorize while you watch the music videos she produces.

LOOPiN (@intoloopin) The Loop Loore, LOOPiN's storytelling universe of madness, uses cosmic horror monsters and multiverse travel between two halfs of Earth to tell the story of young people fighting against everything, everyone and even themselfs, for the right of picking their own future.

Raevil (@raevil) An idol group that has been active since 2016, Raevil is someone you could say is diverse! Not only do they have girls who are nothing but talented, but they're also known for their horror concept! But what the public doesn't know, is that they're not only using a lore of mythological beings in the world; they themselves are those exact supernatural beings! If that doesn't give you the chills, i don't know what does!

Moth House (@mothouse) If there is one word to describe Moth House's concept, it would be "unsettling". From the masks their members don to their namesake haunted manor, each comeback has even the most steel-hearted fans shivering with powerful ambience and haunting imagery.

HEXCODE (@hcxcode) HEXCODE's blend of dark fantasy and cyberpunk is what makes their concept stand out. From haunted forests to futuristic dystopias, the members work together or tear each other apart with their powerful magic and enchanted weapons.

Crow (@thecrxw) Crow made her name known within the industry with her dark concepts. Being from a small company, she had to work to get her name out there, and she did. She’s infected the minds of her fans with her concept and lore, making you think and theorize while you watch the music videos she produces.

RENACE (@renvce) RENACE's sinfully seductive music pairs wonderfully with their fallen angel lore. With dark and religious imagery in every music video, they immerse fans in their world every comeback.

Summit (@r3surgence) Summit has had an uphill battle for stardom. Through numerous scandals and six member departures, they have persisted with refreshing releases and successful solo activities for the members ranging from solo debuts to MC gigs. With a new leader, Summit is ready to begin their most successful era.

LOOPiN (@intoloopin) LOOPiN started off their debut journey in 2018 with nothing but the title of LOONA's brother group over their heads and a dream. Now, they have managed to become one of the most surprising groups in the 4th generation, creating their own standarts for aesthetic, music and teamwork.

DEEPDIVE (@bluwavez) DEEPDIVE got their start as a five member group under DSP Media, with limited success. An acquisition by Angelico Entertainment either saved or ruined the group, depending on which fans you ask. Regardless of opinion, no one can deny that they have become a top selling boy group and household names thanks to their successful solo activities.

FYWLD (@fyvvld) FEYWILD is an eight member boy group - although producer Serim does not promote with the members, he is considered a group member due to his heavy involvement in all other activities and his closeness with the members. With each release, the group takes fans on a journey through the hauntingly beautiful lands of the fae with experimental music to match.

AVOS (@genav0s) AVOS is a five member group from Eonus Entertainment. For those who don’t know, they debuted on January 9th, 2014, as a self-producing R&B and Hip-Hop focused group. all of their music is written and produced by them and they take great pride in that. They hope you’ll support them in our next projects and vote for them as your pick for Favorite Boy Group in this year’s Idolatry Awards!

DEADMAN'S LULLABY (@halaverse) DEADMAN'S LULLABY got their start as a rock band before transitioning to being an idol group in 2018 after their addition to coed group DEADSTAR OASIS. The unit's popularity quickly surpassed their other DEADSTAR members in STARDUSTER despite fan attempts to boycott the addition. With the addition of soloist Boyhood: The Ego, now going by Iseul, they continue their upward trajectory and leave a wake of scandals behind them.

DISTURBIA (@distvrbic) DISTURBIA seemed doomed for a quiet disbandment until their contracts were bought by Angelico Entertainment, bringing them much needed company support. Though despite this, the only member of the debut lineup still in the group is main vocalist Silas. The group's quirky & fun take on dark themes & horror concepts has made them a unique group in the industry.

PUSHING DAISIES (@d3caynluv) Made of former members of VENUS, EMBERS, TREASURE, & CHERRYBERRY and a former soloist, PUSHING DAISIES has already made a name for themselves in the industry despite being a new group.

OLYMPUS (@cloudolympus) OLYMPUS's sport of choice is dodging disbandment whether it was due to low sales or public scandals. They had an arduous uphill battle to their status today as a top k-pop group. Their unique discography spans deep house, city pop, synthwave, and more.

SUGAR RUSH (@playersugarrush) SUGAR RUSH has committed to their video game-inspired concept from the very beginning of their careers. Many of their songs, like their debut song NONSTOP and summer anthem LET'S POWER UP, utilize 8-bit and glitch-hop elements to create their bouncy and bright sound.

Girls' World (@girlsw0rld) Nothing says teen crush like SNSG's unique female-focused concept. From lyrics encouraging young women to hold men to higher standards to their more performance-friendly style, the group is undeniably driving the trends in unique directions.

TWITUNE (@twitune) No two TWITUNE songs sound the same. Their unique takes on the teen crush concept have spanned from futuristic hyperpop to cute dancepop and they always leave their fans wondering what their favorite magical girls will be doing next.

VIVID (@alwaysvivid) VIVID is a 5 member girl group under Angelico Entertainment. Their music varies from edgier tracks like their most recent title track “Addicted” to softer, fun summer tracks like “Holiday !” and their smash hit “My Rhythm”.

CHERRYBERRY (@ch3rryb3rry) CHERRYBERRY's discography has been nothing but bright & fun since their debut with I PROMISE!. With the group's main vocalist Mihee firmly in control in the studio, they continue to put out some of the most consistently upbeat music in the industry, even when they dip their toes into a different genre to spice things up.

STARSEEDS (@starsccds) STARSEEDS is the all-female subunit of the idol group TOMORROW X TOGETHER under Big Hit Music. Composed of five members, the group is well known for their consistent cute concept compared to their group and other male subunit releases.

Neverland (@nevertheland) Neverland's elegant and feminine take on cute concepts contrasts greatly with the things the public knows them for best - member Hanuel's scandals. Deemed one hit wonders for their debut hit FLUTTER, they're fighting hard to gain more recognition for their talents every day.

MELLIMINX (@melliminx) MELLIMINX has been best known for their cute and quirky concepts rather than their edgier ones. From their breakout hit JELLY to their recent comeback with I LIKE IT!, they've consistently put out some of the freshest concepts and been ahead of the curve on major trends.

Daughters of Eden (@soft-eyed) DOE have made a name for themselves with their energetic and refreshing sound - aside from Call Out, but we don't talk about that comeback. Their infectiously fun comebacks have made them Independent Entertainment's most successful group, and for good reason too. You'll have a hard time getting Barbie Girl out of your head after you hear it for the first time.
