Okay, stop whatever you are doing right now because the monster rookie wave of 2026 is officially loading! Naver HYBE Music Groupโs brand-new sub-label ABD (short for A Bold Dream) has finally pulled back the curtain on their very first girl group, TUIDE, and to say I am utterly feral for this concept would be an understatement. Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and prepare your bank accounts because August 24th is officially TUIDE debut day!
The group is dropping their 1st Mini Album titled TUNE & PLAY, and the whole vibe is giving main character energy! The core concept is all about taking different musical vibes, tuning them into one unstoppable rhythm, and just having total fun with it. The Lineup & The Stats You Need to Know ๐๐ฅ
If you thought the hype couldn't get higher, wait until you hear about the lineup. The 7-member group is completely stacked with talent and international synergy:
- Official Debut Date: August 24, 2026
- Debut EP: TUNE & PLAY
- The 7-Member Roster:
- Global Synergy: The group features members hailing from South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan.
- All-Teen Lineup: Every single member was born between 2006 and 2011, making this a 100% Gen Z roster!
- Major Sister Flex: Member Seoyeon is actually the youngest sister of TWICEโs Jihyo! Talk about top-tier K-pop royalty lineage!
Visuals, Teasers & Whatโs Next? ๐ธ๐ง ABD blessed us on August 2nd with their teaser drop titled "Introductions : WE TUIDE," where the visuals were absolutely visualing. The teaser featured a minimal, high-fashion beat layered with vocals weaving seamlessly across Korean, English, Japanese, and French. They ate that multilingual flex up and left zero crumbs!
With their official name meaning "to adapt to and harmonise global trends to create fresh fun" TUIDE is already setting up a side quest to takeover the entire global scene. Keep your eyes glued to their official socials for concept photos and tracklist drops over the next few weeks!
