The debut team is led by Yorch Yongsin, a Thai actor, model, and soloist under GRID Entertainment. Born on April 11, 2002, in Phayao, Thailand, Yorch has been acting since he was 10 years old and has starred in movies like 15+ IQ Krachoot and Timeline Letter Memory. He almost debuted in a boy group under HYBE, but when that didn’t work out, he shifted gears. He debuted as a soloist back in April with the single “Switch.” Yorch enjoys dancing, food (particularly durian and tteokbokki), and soccer.

On August 1, GRID confirmed the launch of POW, unveiling the group’s logo, and opening its official SNS accounts.
