AMPERS&ONE Marks Debut With Single ‘On And On’

AMPERS&ONE, the latest addition to FNC Entertainment‘s roster, has officially stepped into the K-pop limelight with the single album AMPERSAND ONE. The group, comprising Kamden, Brian, Jiho, Siyoon, Kyrell, Mackiah, and Seungmo, made their grand debut at a showcase held at the Blue Square MasterCard Hall.

“This is our first-ever performance on stage and we hope to get the chance to perform on diverse stages from now on,” said Kamden after performing. He, Jiho, and Brian rose to fame through Mnet’s Boys Planet, which ended in April.

“I spent four years as a trainee, and my parents and I had decided that it would be time for me to look for something else to do when I become 20 years old. I participated in Mnet’s survival program considering it my last chance. Even though I didn’t get to be one of the finalists, I was able to join this new team and debut after the show,” said Jiho, the leader of the group.

AMPERS&ONE aims to connect

Their debut single album has three tracks, led by the title track “On And On.” Siyoon described the song as an anthem of determination, reflecting the group’s journey towards achieving their dreams. Kamden contributed to the songwriting, adding a personal touch to their music. 

 “It was an honor to participate in writing the lyrics to the lead track of our debut album. I hope to continue taking part in composing and writing the lyrics to our future releases,” said Kamden. “We named the highlight dance move for this track ‘Wavy Dance.’ It’s when we spread our arms and make a wave and at the same time shuffle our feet.”

AMPERS&ONE aims to connect deeply with their audience through music that radiates positive energy and relatability. “I think our forte is that we can seem like close friends to fans by singing songs that they can easily relate to. Our group also consists of members from diverse cultural backgrounds so we can present diverse colors,” said Siyun.

Just the beginning

“We hope to become a group that comes to one’s mind when thinking of K-pop,” said Jiho. “We found it fascinating to incorporate the ‘&’ symbol into our name, and it carries a positive meaning. Whenever we hear our name, we sense a strong feeling of unity, which is wonderful.” 

As AMPERS&ONE embarks on their musical journey, their debut single promises to be just the beginning of an exciting and dynamic path in the K-pop industry. – K-Pop News Writer
