The “Global Rising Star” ARrC shows off its unexpected charm offstage.
The group ARrC (Kien, Hyunmin, Ziwoo, Choi Han, Doha, Jibeen, Rioto) recently made waves by participating in the 괜찮아 챌린지 (It’s Okay Challenge) alongside Vietnamese rapper 7dnight, receiving an enthusiastic reception.
The 괜찮아 챌린지 is a challenge based on the song “KHONG SAO CA” sung by 7dnight. The track, which blends Korean lyrics “괜찮아” (“It’s okay”) with an exotic melody, became a massive hit, even in Korea. Additionally, with its catchy chorus, the song has garnered over 1 billion views on TikTok, becoming a phenomenon not only in Vietnam but across all of Asia.
Many K-pop artists have joined this challenge, but what sets ARrC apart is that they participated alongside 7dnight, the original artist behind the song. In particular, the challenge holds special meaning due to the meeting between KIEN, a member of ARrC who is extremely popular in Vietnam, and the successful rapper 7dnight, which sparked an even more enthusiastic reaction from Vietnamese fans.
Not only did ARrC take part in the 괜찮아 챌린지, but they also tackled the EZ 챌린지 (EZ Challenge) with 7dnight, showing a striking contrast to their on-stage image with a performance full of charm and humor. Their playful and natural side captured the audience’s attention, offering a whole new dimension of the group.
In February of this year, ARrC released their second mini-album “NU KIDZ: Out the Box”, and with their title track “nu kidz,” they showcased a unique hip-hop sound and trendy performances, proving their musical excellence. After breaking norms and opening new musical horizons, ARrC made their global debut in May at KCON JAPAN 2025, achieving great success and quickly rising to the status of “Global Rising Star” in the music industry.
