Awol Birthday is a new girl group that JYP is unveiling four years after NMIXX’s debut. The group’s name embodies their aspiration to “enjoy every moment as if every day were a birthday and redefine ordinary daily life with our own unique style.” Production and management are handled by Init Entertainment, a subsidiary of JYP.
Previously, JYP unveiled Awal Birthday members Jo Hye-jin, Baby, and Archiraya through its official social media channels. Among them, Jo Hye-jin gained recognition by appearing on Mnet’s “Street Dance Girls Fighter 2” and later took first place on KBS 2TV’s “The Ttantara.” Baby and Archiraya are members whose strengths lie in their solid dance skills and vocals, respectively.
Awol Birthday plans to release a variety of content related to their pre-debut single sequentially through their social media channels.
