Somin's collaboration with Kik5o extended to a captivating performance on KBS2's 'Music Bank,' showcasing an intense chemistry.
Meanwhile, BM joined forces with K-T.Y. (formerly from 'K-pop Star') on 'Around Me,' the opening track of K-T.Y.'s EP 'By you,' released on the 30th of last month. Their shared background from the audition program provided a solid foundation for their collaboration, resulting in a potent synergy of rhythmic vocals and rap.
