Meet ARrC, a new K-pop boy group with a Brazilian member

ARrC, short for “Always Remember the Real Connection”, is the newest boy group from Mystic Story Entertainment, which pre-debuted on July 26 and debuted on August 19. Composed of members Kien, Hyunmin, Ziwoo, Choi Han, Doha, Jibeen and Riotthe group generated great anticipation even before their arrival in the industry, due to an intriguing post on X (formerly Twitter) that was published in English, Japanese, Vietnamese and, shockingly, Portuguese.

The reason behind the number of languages ​​in the post was due to the fact that all seven members are of different nationalities, that is, the same as the languages ​​in the tweet: Hyunmin, Choi Han, Doha and Ziwoo are Korean, Kien is Vietnamese, Riot is Japanese and Jibeen is half Brazilian and half Korean.

The diversity of nationalities in the group also reflects the values ​​that ARrC seeks to convey to its audience, as they value creating authentic connections that transcend space, time and cultural differences, as well as positively impacting people around the world through their music.
