HYBE's next-generation J-pop boy group aoen will debut on June 11 with the single 'The Blue Sun'.

aoen is a team born through the audition program 'Cheer - HIGH ~Dream's START LINE~' (援-HIGH　~夢のスタトライン~). At the end of a fiercely contested race, which unfolded like a marathon of life, seven members, including YUJU, RUKA, GAKU, HAKU, SOTA, KYOSUKE, and REO, were selected as the final debut members.

The eldest member and visual star, YUJU, and the hard-working RUKA, who has dreamed of being an artist since age 4, will serve as the leader and sub-leader, respectively. GAKU, responsible for positive energy with a bright personality and cheerful demeanor, HAKU, exuding presence with an excellent physique developed through ballet, SOTA, who impresses with a mysterious gaze and unique atmosphere, KYOSUKE, who possesses vocal, dance, and visual talents, and REO, who captivates the stage with refreshing high notes and rich expressions, are a uniquely talented group of seven.

Their debut single 'The Blue Sun' is the first step aoen takes in the world and encapsulates the team's identity. The album title, meaning 'blue sun,' resonates with the team name. 'aoen' symbolizes the color 'blue flame,' which burns the hottest, imbued with the ambition to become a group filled with intense passion and energy, carrying the meaning of wanting to cheer everyone with a brightness like the sun.

aoen posted an image of their 'promotion schedule' on their official team SNS on the 29th. According to this, concept photos for aoen will be released on May 1 and 5, followed by a concept video on the 13th and 14th.
