The project vocal group B.D.U (Boys Define Universe), born out of the Mnet vocal survival program ‘Build Up’, is all set to commence their official activities soon.

They are scheduled to make an appearance at ‘KCON Japan 2024’ in May.

The four victors of the intense competition program, including Jay Chang of ONE PACT, Bitsaeon of M.O.N.T, Seunghun of CIX, and Kim Minseo, will be promoting as the project group B.D.U for a span of two years as part of their winning prize.

The group will be under the management of Stone Music Entertainment. The three members who are already affiliated with existing groups will have the flexibility to oscillate between their team promotions and B.D.U promotions.

In a recent interview, the members of B.D.U shared their aspirations for their project group promotions.

Bitsaeon stated, “Being winners of a vocal survival program, I want to ensure that we promote songs that align with that title. If until now, I’ve been diligently fulfilling my role as the main vocalist of an idol group, then through this vocal group, I want to explore various things. Given the number of talented vocalists here, I’m confident we can do it.”

Seunghun expressed, “We all hope to release music as frequently as possible in the next two years. We will definitely impress with our vocals, so please stay tuned.”

Jay remarked, “Just as we all grew up dreaming of becoming singers one day while listening to the songs of our favorite artists, we aim to become artists who inspire.”
