K-pop boy group ATBO made their debut today with their aptly named EP “The Beginning: 開花” and the music video of their title track “Monochrome.”
Aside from “Monochrome,” the album contains five other songs: “7ibe (Vibe),” “Graffiti,” “High Five,” “Wow” and “Run.” Member Junseok wrote the raps for every track except for “Run,” and member Hyunjun helped with the lyrics for “Graffiti,” “High Five” and “Wow.”

In addition to ATBO’s debut, IST Entertainment has had an eventful year. The entertainment company’s most veteran group, Apink, dropped their comeback album “Horn” in February and parted ways with member Naeun in April following her decision to pursue a career in acting. Apink’s younger sister group Weeekly also lost a member, with Jiyoon permanently leaving the group to focus on her mental health. ATBO’s older brother groups Victon and The Boyz both released albums this year, and The Boyz are slated to perform at KCON LA 2022 this August alongside other groups such as Ateez, Enhypen, Itzy, Lightsum, Loona, P1Harmony, StayC, Stray Kids and “Queendom” Season 2 winner WJSN.
