With the members hailing from different countries, rookie K-pop group 1Verse (pronounced 'universe') is still navigating through their life in South Korea.

The quintet debuted in July 2025 with Hyuk and Seok, both 25-year-old North Korean defectors, Japanese member Aito, 20, and American members Nathan, 25, and Kenny, 23, who are of Lao-Thai and Chinese descent respectively.
