TARGET is an idol group.

Although they debuted once in 2014, that debut was nullified due to a change of agencies.

They have a rare history: after debuting in Japan in 2017, they re-debuted in Korea in 2018.

All members are from Changwon City in South Gyeongsang Province.

Having gone through hardships after debut and spending an extended period performing in Shin-Okubo, they speak Japanese well.

Their dance performances—modeled after BTS—are also captivating, and there are many cover videos uploaded on YouTube.

It’s “Rocking,” released in 2013.

It’s an older track, but even now the MV’s visuals, outfits, and sound don’t feel dated at all.

The whole vibe is street-style, making it a cool dance track.

It blends dance with hip-hop and rap seamlessly, the kind of song that gets your body moving before you even realize it.

“Burn It Up,” where you can fully enjoy their powerful performance, is such a highly polished work that it makes you wonder, “Were they really just a group of trainees until not long ago?”
