AEN consists of four Korean members: Bomin, Jiyong, Kyuhyun, and Junseo, and three Japanese members: Haru, Kaira, and Haruto. Notably, all of the members except Haruto previously participated in STARSHIP’s boy group survival show, ‘Debut’s Plan.’ It is the same show that led to the formation of STARSHIP’s boy group IDID last year.
The seven-member boy group is being produced in collaboration between STARSHIP Entertainment and the Japanese entertainment company AMUSE.
The group will hold their pre-debut greeting showcase, ‘First Encounter,’ for approximately 3,000 people on June 27 at 3:00 PM JST (11:30AM IST) at SGC Hall Ariake in Tokyo, Japan, with free tickets distributed to fans via a promotional lottery system.
AEN is set to make its official debut on August 5 at 6 PM KST (2:30PM IST) with the release of their first mini-album, ‘A NEW ERA OF NOW’.
