The band, which released its first full-length album "23" in April, has held shows in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Thailand for the past three months.

The South Korean rock quartet, consisting of lead vocal and songwriter Oh Hyuk, bass guitarist Im Dong-gun, lead guitarist Lim Hyun-jae and drummer Lee In-woo, debuted in 2014 and has become a household name after appearing on MBC TV's popular comedy show "Infinite Challenge" in the summer of 2015.
