Group YUHZ (HYO, BOHYEON, HARUTO, JUNSUNG, JAEIL, KAI, YEONTAE, and SECHAN) revealed the story behind the group's formation process and team chemistry.

 

On the 26th, YUHZ met with Hanteo News at Whosfan Studio in Seoul and shared stories about the group and their debut album. During the interview, BOHYEON said, "In the early days after the group was formed, we needed more time to get close to each other," adding, "We exercised together, practiced the fundamentals together, spent all day in the practice room, and even adjusted our personal daily routines to match each other, which helped us become close."

 

HYO introduced the group's name, saying, "The name YUHZ is short for Your Hertz," and explained, "It means that the hertz each of the eight of us possesses, along with the waves scattered throughout the world, come together and connect through our own music." Regarding the title track "Rush Rush," BOHYEON explained, "It's a pop song highlighted by an energetic rock-influenced sound, carrying the confidence and ambition to move forward without hesitation even if we're still inexperienced," adding, "It's a song where the refreshing melody and the unique vocal colors of all eight members stand out."

 

As a group formed through the SBS survival program B:MY BOYZ, the members still vividly remember the moment the debut lineup was announced. SECHAN said, "I was so grateful to be included among the eight members, and I thought about wanting to show everyone a great side of myself as a singer in the future." KAI shared, "Through the audition program, I worked with many different people and performed on stage, but the moment the final eight members were decided and I realized we'd be performing and promoting together as a team was incredibly exciting." BOHYEON said, "Rather than feeling purely happy, I felt a great sense of relief," adding, "It was an audition program I joined without telling even my family or the people around me, so I felt relieved that it ended with a good result." HYO said, "More than anything, I felt grateful to the people who came to the final and to those around the world who voted for us," adding, "I kept thinking that once we debuted, I wanted to quickly show everyone a great side of ourselves to repay that gratitude."

 

HARUTO said, "My name was called in eighth place, so honestly, I didn't think I was going to make it," adding, "I felt that I needed to show a better side of myself to the fans who voted for me." JUNSUNG shared, "I was grateful to be among the final eight at the end of such a hectic program, but what makes that day even more memorable is that it felt like the day I proved to my parents and others that I could truly start something." YEONTAE said, "I had already prepared myself mentally, thinking, 'I guess I'm not going to make it,' so I was surprised when my name was called," adding, "All the missions from the program flashed before my eyes, and it felt like all the difficult moments had finally been rewarded." JAEIL said, "I was already grateful just to have the opportunity to stand on stage through the program, and it was an honor to be able to debut thanks to so many people."

 

The group also made the most of the approximately eight months between formation and debut. JUNSUNG explained, "After the group was formed, we held fan concerts in Japan, appeared on music shows, and were thankfully invited to various award ceremonies. After wrapping up those activities, we slowly prepared for our debut in greater detail, which is why we're only debuting now." YEONTAE added, "Some members had been on the same teams during the survival show while others hadn't, so we spent a lot of time practicing together as a group to build chemistry among all eight members."

 

The members also honestly admitted that there were some awkward relationships right after the group was formed. BOHYEON said, "During the audition program, some of us had been on the same team while others had never worked together, so I think we needed more time to get close in the beginning." Their efforts to strengthen teamwork were equally notable. YEONTAE shared, "While preparing for the fan concerts, we practiced cover stages together, ate meals together, and spent time talking with each other." BOHYEON added, "We exercised together, practiced the basics together, spent all day in the practice room, and even aligned our personal daily routines, which helped us become close."

 

YUHZ's first single, Orange Record, was released through various music streaming platforms on May 7. Having now sent out its very first frequency to connect with the world, YUHZ is drawing attention to what kind of music it will use to connect with listeners in the future.
