“Rarehouse” is a combination of “Rare” and “House”. This means that unusual, individual trainees with distinct personalities create their own content. As proof, ‘rare’ trainees from home have been uploading creative videos, like homemade rap, based on global video platform TikTok since April last year, and have gone viral at home and abroad. , surpassing 330,000 TikTok followers before their official debut.

It will be a process for trainees to take full advantage of their creative pursuits and realize what they can do best. I hope you can expect the birth of a group that the trainees form themselves, and not a “created” group as the adults want.”
