Highly anticipated Japanese-Korean boy group ORβIT officially debuted on November 1st KST with the spectacular track, “UNIVERSE.”

The group was formed by the members themselves, after “Produce 101 Japan” contestants and three members of K-pop group HALO — Younghoon (formerly known as Ooon), Heecho (formerly known as Heecheon) and Yoondong, decided to leave the show and pursue their own activities. They eventually recruited eliminated trainees from the survival program, June (known as Uehara Jun who also participated in Korea’s “Produce X 101”), Tomo, Shunya, and Yugo.

Moon Kim of Royal Pirates wrote and composed “Universe” with producer Chungyoon. Both artists worked on the group’s pre-release song “Lazurite” and also worked on the majority of songs on the group’s upcoming debut album titled 00.

Kazuki of s**t kingz created the breathtaking choreography; the dance and performance troupe boasting a portfolio that includes K-pop and J-pop groups such as TVXQ, Da-ice, Hey! Say! JUMP and SHINee, and are notable for the choreography of NCT U’s “The 7th Sense,” EXO’s “Love Me Right,” and more.

Two of the dancers that appear in the MV, Hidaka Mahiro and Koshin, are members of J-pop group BUGVEL which is also under the same agency as ORβIT. Mahiro participated in "YG Treasure Box" and “Produce X 101” alongside June while Koshin was a fellow contestant on “Produce 101 Japan.”

Video production crew Rigend Film, who are credited with producing music videos for prominent K-pop artists such as SEVENTEEN, IZ*ONE, Treasure, and CHUNGHA, worked with an extensive production crew spanning across Korea and Japan.

ORβIT’s full-length album 00 is set for release on November 11th KST, where almost every member participated in writing lyrics across the impressive 13-track album. The highlight medley is available on their channel.
