D-CRUNCH, K-pop’s new kids on block, to stand out from crowd

The global popularity of K-pop means the number of idol groups in Korea is increasing in leaps and bounds – and it is now more challenging than ever to stand out from the crowd.
The latest group, D-CRUNCH, is a boy band that is only about two weeks old, but looks ready to hit the ground running.
D-CRUNCH has nine members, each one possessing a distinctive feature “hot guy”, “cute boy”, “intelligent fool” ... and so on.

Hyunoh, Jungseung, Dylan, Hyunwook, Hyunwoo, Chanyoung, Hyunho, Minhyuk and O.V have just released their debut album, “0806”, along with its first single, PALACE.
O.V, one of the two group’s leaders, told The Korea Times that the group was responsible for songwriting, choreography and overall production.
