Rookie boy group MODYSSEY is already making waves across the K-pop scene even before their official debut, after unveiling the music video teaser for their upcoming title track “HOOK,” produced by 3RACHA.
The seven-member group—Hengyu, Pan Zhai, Li Zhihao, Linlin, Suran, Yichen, and Rowan—released the teaser on April 2, offering a first look at the title track from their debut single album 1. Got Hooked: An Addictive Symphony. Despite its brief 20-second runtime, the clip immediately captured attention online, driven by its hard-hitting sound and visually charged direction.
“HOOK” introduces a high-energy concept built around an addictive rhythm and sharp, performance-focused choreography. The teaser highlights rapid editing, dynamic camera movement, and bold visual styling, creating an intense atmosphere that reflects the group’s edgy and confident identity.
Each member stands out through expressive facial performances and synchronized movement, signaling a performance-driven group poised for strong stage impact. Even in its short format, the teaser emphasizes MODYSSEY’s potential as a global rookie act with a distinct sonic and visual direction.
Their debut single album will include four tracks: the title track “HOOK,” B-side “REVENANT,” a Chinese version of “HOOK,” and an instrumental version. The inclusion of multilingual content highlights the group’s intention to reach a wider international audience from the very beginning of their career.
According to their agency OneSide, the debut project is designed to fully showcase MODYSSEY’s artistic identity and narrative direction. The company stated that “HOOK” combines powerful performance energy with a unique sonic signature, while the music video itself symbolically represents the group’s first journey as artists.
MODYSSEY is a seven-member global boy group formed through survival programs Boys 2 Planet and Planet C: Home Race. Prior to debut, the group has already been building recognition through the Mnet reality show SAY SAY MODYSSEY, as well as securing an appearance at KCON JAPAN 2026 scheduled for May.
Backed by the joint venture ONE SEED—formed through collaboration between CJ ENM, JYP China, and NCC Entertainment under Tencent Music Entertainment (TME)—MODYSSEY is positioning itself as one of the most closely watched rookie debuts of 2026.
With their debut single set for release on April 13, anticipation continues to build around whether “HOOK” will mark the beginning of a major new force in global K-pop.
