Debut recording 6,000 concurrent YouTube viewers

The five-member boy group WAYF BOYS released their debut single 'WAYF BOYS DO' on August 7. Composed of Andrew, Lee Jun-myeong, Anderson, Ju Jong-hyeok, and Samuel, they have set 'NU K-POP' as their musical direction.

Numerical achievements appeared immediately upon their debut. At the time the 'WAYF BOYS DO' music video was released, the number of concurrent viewers on YouTube reached approximately 6,000. The music video became a hot topic on online communities and SNS, as it included a scene where the members pull down their pants toward the camera.

The first runner of producer Son Seong-ho's label

WAYF BOYS is the first boy group from 'WAYF,' a label established by producer Son Seong-ho, who served as the music director for the 'Street Woman Fighter' and 'Street Man Fighter' series.

The members participated directly in the production process. Member Anderson took charge of stage directing and choreography production, and the members' ideas were reflected throughout the artwork design and overall content production. The phrase “half vanilla, F * ICE” appearing in Anderson's part of the lyrics drew attention among international fans, with various interpretations circulating immediately after the release.
