WHIB, which has been described as a high-end boy group with both outstanding visuals and solid skills, has clearly shown its 'high-end' aspect since the first week of its debut. WHIB, who announced the emergence of a 'monster rookie' by achieving the feat of appearing on every music broadcast in the week of his debut, released 'BANG!' Through the stage, they immediately captured the attention of global K-POP fans with their seasoned performance and strong charisma unlike any rookie.

Meanwhile, Arirang TV's 'Simply K-Pop' also prepared a stage for 'DIZZY', showing off its unexpected charm. In keeping with the refreshing and lively atmosphere of the song, HUB completely exuded HUB's own cheerful and cute charms, proving its colorful concept spectrum just like its team name, which is a combination of WHITE and BLACK.

In particular, WHIB's double title song 'BANG!' and 'DIZZY' music videos exceeded 10 million and 5 million views on YouTube, respectively, and featured various senior groups such as Zero Base One, Right Some, Niju, Crafty, and Ateez. 'BANG!' The challenge video recorded a total of more than 13 million views on TikTok alone.

Thanks to this popularity, WHIB will appear at the '2023 Asia Artist Awards IN THE PHILIPPINES' (hereinafter 'AAA'), which will be held on Thursday the 14th. 'AAA' is Korea's first integrated awards ceremony where singers and actors who shone through the year gather in one place. WHIB, who was proudly named to the 'AAA' lineup of global stars who are popular not only in Korea but also overseas, plans to present an even more special performance through the 'AAA' stage.

WHIB, who finished his first single album, said, “It was a time when everything was new and like a dream, and it was even more special because it was my first time. “There was a sense of weight and tension as it was our first time, but I think we finished it safely thanks to the fans who truly loved us,” he said about his debut. He continued, “I feel a sense of responsibility to become an artist that fans can be proud of and to show more of my charm. “In the next album, I will come back with a more grown-up appearance and an even better vibe,” he said, adding his future aspirations.
