Overview
- Tuide, which debuted Monday, Aug. 24, 2026, released a five-track EP called Tune & Play led by the single "Sun Kiss".
- The group has seven members — Seohee, Seoyeon, Elena, Jia, Saki, Seah and Yi Hani — who were born between 2006 and 2011 and include performers from Korea, the United States, Britain and Japan.
- Members and the agency describe the band's musical identity as "soultronic," a blend of soul sensibility with electronic, R&B and house elements meant to highlight relaxed, groove-focused vocals and choreography.
- Coverage and social media noted a visually prominent debut, with a Seoul media showcase and reports that the "Sun Kiss" music video was filmed in Iceland, and early public reaction compared Tuide to NewJeans, KATSEYE and other recent acts.
- Initial chart signals were encouraging with all five tracks entering Melon's Hot 100 and "Sun Kiss" reaching the mid-teens, and industry observers say Hybe's heavy promotion gives Tuide room to build broad recognition over the coming months.
