It's worth noting that CLASS:y was originally formed through the competitive survival show "My Teenage Girl" on MBC, where the seven members were selected based on their exceptional singing and dancing skills. Since their debut in May 2022, the group has been known for delivering powerful live performances. However, the fierce competition in the fourth generation of K-pop necessitates constant renewal, which is what the group aims to achieve with this comeback.
