Meet the “94z”

| Upcoming | They’ll appear as travel partners on ENA’s variety show World Dice Tour 4 |
Why Fans Are Excited?
- Proven chemistry: Their stage and variety moments have already won over viewers.

- Plenty of content ahead: With a variety show appearance and an album on the way, there’s more to watch before the release.
