YOUNITE Reflect on Feelings 1 Month After Debut + Life Before Debut [INTERVIEW]
YOUNITE are a K-Pop boy group with many members and many talents - each shining brightly in harmony on and off the stage.
Now, one month after debuting on April 20, 2022, the boys met with us to reflect on their pre-debut emotions and current status as popular rookie idols.
With the release of their EP 'Youni-Birth' (a creative mix of the group name and universe), the 9-member boy group are ready to prove how their synergy helps them stand out among the other newly debuted groups. Members Hyungseok, Eunho, DEY, Eunsang, Woono, Steve, Hyunseung, Sion, and Kyungmun each plan to reflect all the support they received from fans into every future performance. Before you learn more about the charming group YOUNITE, check out their debut MV "EVERYBODY" below which already garnered 10 million views and see which member will become your new bias!
1. YOUNITE has many talents. What sets YOUNITE apart from other new K-Pop groups?
HYUNGSEOK: "We are unique because each member has their own charm! Each of us is very different from the other, but we create great synergy as a team, which I think fans will love!"

2. How does it feel to already have so much support from fans pre-debut?
WOONO: "It doesn't feel so real yet. I've never got so much love and attention so I feel nervous, but I'm thanking our fans every day."
EUNHO: "Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the love from fans because I've been waiting for our debut for so long, but it always feels great! I always remind myself that we need to perfect everything to meet our fans' expectations and to give back their support and love!"

3. What is a track from the YOUNI-BIRTH all fans should listen to?
DEY: "I recommend 'EVERYBODY' because it is full of our powerful and free-spirited energy. I think we can really feel our charms through this song!"
EUNSANG: "I really like '1 of 9'. Our average age is 20 and a half years old, and this song captured the very fresh, bubbly energy of the early 20s. I think our fans will enjoy this track!"

STEVE: "I think I focused the most on the visuals. I studied and practiced facial expressions to show
both on stage and in front of fans."
EUNHO: "I think the most important part is singing live on stage, so I practiced live singing the hardest.
I'm determined to give the best performance on each stage!"

try covering a cool performance!"

Now that you have gotten to understand the deep personalities of all nine members a little more, which member is your favorite? Not only will it be difficult to choose just one bias but with YOUNITE also debuting with "EVERYBODY" and "1 of 9" at once, it will also be difficult to even choose a favorite song to listen to on loop!
