AOMG has officially debuted their very first girl crew, Keyveatz!
The five members (Newy, Kang Yeseul, Um Jione, Son Juone, and Kim Yuna) just held their debut showcase on the afternoon of the 30th at Yes24 Wonderloch Hal in Seoul to celebrate their first EP, 'OXY_GEN.'
At the showcase, the girls shared exactly how they're feeling, saying, "We're nervous, but being on stage is exciting and so much fun. We're a crew that wants to create a new wave, read the scene, and make our own bold move."
When talking about what makes them different from everyone else in the industry right now, Yeseul explained, "What sets Keyveatz apart will be many things, from our music and artistry to our visuals. We believe a crew is defined by its attitude," and added:
"We'll create an unpredictable kind of individuality."
Jione also made sure to note, "We'll showcase a wide range of musical styles, not just hip-hop."
This crew is actually the next big act to come out of the label's "Make It New" rebranding project. They’re bringing a massive sense of individuality with music and performances heavily rooted in hip-hop, subculture, and underground culture, aiming to completely bridge the gap between the K-pop and hip-hop scenes.
What adds to the excitement of their debut is the star-studded lineup helping them behind the scenes. The members revealed:
"Mijoo Sunbaenim gave us a lot of advice. On top of that, Kian84 helped to plan our showcase. And Jay Park Sunbaenim took charge of the production. He helped us to make use 200% of our talents."
The EP 'OXY_GEN' itself is all about symbolizing Keyveatz as a crew that constantly moves, collides, and carves out its own unique path.
The title track, 'OXY,' blends a variety of hip-hop sounds into a wave of explosive energy. The rest of the tracks is just as bold. It features 'SUCK IT UP,' which all five members participated in writing, composing, and arranging themselves, alongside 'SUB_ZERO' featuring rapper Punchnello, and their two previously released double-singles, 'Key Beats' and 'Catch My Breath.'
If you want to check them out, all the tracks will be dropped across major online music platforms at 6 PM (KST) today (the 30th). Right after that, they're heading straight into their fan showcase, 'OXY_GEN: MESSY ROOM,' at 8 PM (KST) of the same day.
