he 7-member boy group WHIB (comprising Jayder, Haseung, Jinbeom, UGeon, Leejeong, Jaeha, and Wonjun) officially dropped their second mini-album, ‘CHERRY PIE,’ on August 5 at 6 PM KST. This marks the group’s highly anticipated return, coming roughly seven months after the release of their first mini-album, ‘ROCK THE NATION,’ back in January.

From a Japanese Release to Romania: WHIB’s Unstoppable Global Leap
❓Who is WHIB
WHIB is a 7-member, all-Korean boy group under C-JeS Studios that officially debuted on November 8, 2023. The group consists of members Haseung, Jinbeom, Jayder, UGeon, Leejeong, Jaeha, and Wonjun. Prior to their debut, the members garnered attention through various social media platforms, including YouTube. Since they spent their pre-debut days living together in a shared dorm, the members are well-known for their exceptionally tight-knit bond and strong teamwork.
The group’s name, “WHIB,” is a blend of the words “WHITE” and “BLACK.” It reflects their confidence in showcasing a wide spectrum of charms, as well as their ambition to discover their own unique color among countless others.
What makes WHIB’s comeback even more compelling is their relentless streak of global activities leading up to the release.
On July 29, WHIB kicked off their promotions in the Japanese market with the release of their first Japanese digital single, ‘First Love Never Die.’ Shortly after, on August 1 and 2, they made their highly anticipated European debut after being officially invited to perform at ‘K-POP DAYS’ a major music festival held in Romania.
By expanding their reach beyond Asia and into Europe, WHIB has solidifed their status as rising global artists. They have seamlessly carried that European energy straight into their domestic comeback. From releasing a new single in Japan to taking the stage at a European festival, and finally dropping their new album today—WHIB has proven their incredible drive and potential by pulling off three major milestones in just a single week.
