Their presence feels powerful, and the way they’re carving their own path in K-pop makes me excited to follow their journey!
As the name suggests “Big Ocean” it’s visible that the inspiration and idea behind their music will be big too. Fighting against prejudices through music is such a powerful move . Instead of inherited beliefs they are transforming their lived experiences into survival & inner strength. Personally loved the idea behind ALIVE simply being present & surviving 🫶
