24-member girl group Leader’S to make their debut soon

Now before you all start thinking, “Great, another insane company thinking that quantity beats quality”, you will all be glad to know that this group’s agency has a different plan in mind. It’s true that Leader’S is a 24-member girl group, but instead of promoting with all 24 members at once, the group has been divided into three units with eight members each. The group’s agency, TGN Entertainment, revealed, “TGN is the acronym for TaGoNa (meaning ‘gifted at birth’ in Korean), and we have embarked on a project to debut separate units LeadersT, LeadersG, and LeadersN, in that order. The group currently promoting their track “Kiss Me” are members of the LeadersT unit.” They continued, “We have selected these girls through a survival competition, and the members of the units may interchange, depending on the situation. LeadersG and LeadersT are working hard to make their official debut.” The concept for the 24-member girl group was inspired by popular Japanese girl group, AKB48. The reason behind debuting 8 members at a time is because the number 8 is a lucky number in the Chinese culture. Additionally, the Korean word for 8 is ‘pal’, which is similar to the synonym of Chinese word ‘Pachai’, meaning ‘to make money’. As their name says, Leader’S will be striving to dominate the largest (Chinese) market in the world. TGN Entertainment also stated that the girls will be going for a friendly and approachable image rather than the usual cute or sexy concept. They also revealed that the girls are practicing dance and singing for around 12 hours a day in order to improve their vocal and dancing skills.

Currently promoting unit LeadersT includes members Dahae (25), Sulji (22), Serin (20), Yeonshil (20), Pengie (19) Chae Yool (18), Yesol (17), and Kyung Sook (17). The girls are actively promoting their single “Kiss Me” on various music programs such as Mnet’s M! Countdown.
