WAKER
The six-member group from HOWLING ENTERTAINMENT once again proves its surgical synchronization with a dizzying performance video.
On January 18, 2026 at 11PM KST, the members of WAKER delighted their fans, the “Sleepers,” by releasing the choreography practice video for their latest title track, “Like that.” Taken from their third mini-album “IN ELIXIR: SPELLBOUND,” released on January 8, this performance highlights the funky energy and intricate footwork that define this comeback. Filmed in their usual studio with relaxed yet coordinated outfits, the video allows viewers to fully appreciate every move without the flashy stage lighting effects seen on music shows.
For those who may not be familiar with this rising group yet, WAKER consists of six members: KOHYEON (leader), KWON HYEOP, IJUN, LEO, SAEBYEOL, and SEBUM. Launched by HOWLING ENTERTAINMENT, the group is notable for featuring members who are already well-known to survival show fans, having appeared on programs such as “PRODUCE 101”, “MIXNINE”, and “FANTASY BOYS.” This previous experience gives them a stage presence and technical maturity that are rare for a group that officially debuted on January 8, 2024.
Their name, which means “the one who awakens,” reflects their ambition to awaken fans’ hearts through their music. Since their debut with “Atlantis,” they have built a reputation as “performance idols” thanks to their versatility. With “Like that,” they explore a more groovy and upbeat side, solidifying their position among the leaders of the 5th generation of boy groups. The precision of their formations in this practice video clearly shows the countless hours of hard work they dedicate to their craft.
Whether you are a longtime fan or simply curious, this video is the perfect gateway to experience the unique synergy of this group that continues to rise in power.
The dance practice video for “Like that” is now available on the official HOWLING ENTERTAINMENT channel.
