On April 17, 2024, the new K-Pop girl group UNICODE made their debut with the single “Let me Love.” This new song is part of the album HELLO WORLD: CODE J EP.1, the first from the group. UNICODE has a five-member team formed by the online audition program Project K. The quintet of Japanese artists caught the public's attention even before their debut while the program was still airing.
XX Entertainment manages UNICODE and has Hana, Mio, Erin, Sooah, and Yura as members. “Let me Love” is the title track of their debut and marks UNICODE's impactful start in the industry. The song was produced by Jinyoung, a former member of the boy group B1A4, producer of several hits by the group and other major names in the music industry such as Oh My Girl and the popular survival reality show Produce 101, which formed the group I.O.I.
The name UNICODE comes from combining the words 'unity' and 'code', showing the members' goal to unite the world. The quintet brings to the spotlight a fun and light K-city pop, being the first group to represent this energetic style in K-pop. The music video is produced by Walala Studio, led by Shindong, a member of the boy group Super Junior and has worked with big names like Red Velvet, Super Junior and Celeb Five.
The album takes the audience on a journey into the new universe of UNICODE and flows within an ethereal naturality for the public. The title track “Let me Love” showcases the artists' unique concept and the talents of each one of the members. The EP also includes tracks like "Invi: Bon Voyage," "Blur," "Spring in my 20th," and "Drizzle." To complete the debut album, UNICODE presents another track, an outro, that announces the group's journey and calls for the audience to wait for the quintet's next step.
