HYBE rookie girl group TUIDE set for Aug. 24 debut with mini album 'TUNE & PLAY'

TUIDE officially debuts on August 24 with first mini album TUNE & PLAY, out at 6 PM that day.

The group consists of Seohee (서희), Seoyeon (서연), Elena (엘레나), Jia (지아), Saki (사키), Sea (세아), and Ihaneui (이하늬). They're already building momentum before launch. Pre-debut B-side 'GRLS', which appears on TUNE & PLAY, charted on music charts and its audio and performance video surpassed 5 million views. (Not bad for a group that hasn't officially debuted yet.)

On August 12, TUIDE dropped a 'WE PLAY' version film and group photo showing the members moving through streets in Thailand. The clip pairs the 'GRLS' beat with car sounds and the energy of the location. It follows an earlier 'WE TUNE' version set against a green forest backdrop—two distinct visual moods ahead of one album.

Additional photos are scheduled for August 13 at 10 PM.
