Even after my past group promotions were done, I wanted to continue, and I wanted to perform as an artist on a global stage. At the time, I spoke with Source Music regarding the group they were building, and our goals aligned.

At first, I didn’t think we needed a leader; however, the label wanted one for communication between the label and the group. The members make it easy for me, and I have no issues being the leader. I feel a greater sense of responsibility, and I believe this will be an invaluable experience, so I am thankful to the group.
