ARrC (Andy, Choi Han, Doha, Hyunmin, Jibin, Kkien, Rioto) marked their 1st debut anniversary on August 19.

Over the past year, the group has actively expanded their activities beyond Korea to countries such as Vietnam and Brazil. True to the meaning of their name — “Always Remember the real Connection” — ARrC has embraced “genuine connection with one another” as their core value, transcending space, time, and individual differences. Looking back, their first year has been nothing short of awesome.

Debuting confidently on August 19, 2024, ARrC instantly earned the label of “diamond-shaped rookie” thanks to their solid vocals, rap, and performance skills. Through the release of three albums within just one year, they demonstrated remarkable progress across every aspect — genre, storytelling, performance, and musical capacity — evolving into true “Global Gen Z icons.”

Showcasing extraordinary growth speed, ARrC was also named Billboard Korea’s “K-Pop Rookie of the Month for July,” further affirming their immense potential. With their unique presence already being recognized, global K-pop fans are eagerly watching to see the group’s next brilliant chapter unfold.
