A “unit” feast has taken place in the Idol market. A unit is a separate group of members of a group. It is a common form in the Idol group, but it is now an essential element in line with the trend of the music industry that changes rapidly and pursues newness. In particular, the advantages of the number of members reaching around 10 are utilized in a variety of forms. Through the unit, it can show different aspects such as charm and personality that can not be shown in the existing 'complete', which is a attraction for fans.
Previously, EXO's Chen, Baekhyun and Siu Min formed a unit with Chenbak City to build a fandom separately from EXO in Korea and abroad, and Wanna One, which dominated the domestic Idol market, will also resume its activities with four units. As the popularity of each member is so different, the newly formed unit is expected to be as popular as the total number of 11 members.
Wanna One will release her special album '1=1 (UNDIVIDED)' on June 4, which means that 11 members shine when they unite, but also shine in various ways as a unit.
Girl group Pristin will also challenge the first unit after her debut on Friday, with five members including the finale, Na Young, Lena, Eunwoo and Roa among the nine members, who will again be in front of fans. They are members who appeared on Mnet 'Produce 101' Season 1.
If they created a unit in each group, there are also unusual units that the two groups collaborated on. The girl group Wikimikki's wells and Doyeon, the space girl's Sul-ah and Luda unite as the project unit SpaceMicki, who will release a single early next month and approach it with a different charm.
The girl of the month, who is working as a brilliant unit, is also indispensable. The girl of the month has been working as each unit since the new member debuted every month since 2016.
