Why This Matters for K-Pop?

11 tripleS is known as “the idol of all possibilities” — the world’s first decentralized K-pop idol group. 16 Fans known as WAV participate through Gravity votes that can influence unit lineups and other project decisions.

This unique structure has clearly paid off. With a dedicated fandom that actively shapes the group’s direction, tripleS has built loyalty that most traditional agencies can only dream of.

14 The “& Side” LOVE&POP Pt.2 is scheduled for October 20, followed by a Japanese comeback expected in January 2027. With each release outperforming the last, WAVs have every reason to be excited.
