The K-Pop landscape just got a major jolt with the official debut of **LONGSHOT**, **MORE VISION’s** highly anticipated first boy group. Expectations were sky-high for the four-member ensemble – **O Yul**, **Ryul**, **Woojin**, and **Louie** – and their debut showcase on **January 13, 2026**, at Seoul’s Myeonghwa Live Hall delivered on every promise, confirming their readiness to make a definitive mark.
As the inaugural boy group from **Jay Park’s** innovative agency, **MORE VISION**, **LONGSHOT** has been meticulously crafted under **Jay Park’s** direct production. The group aims to seamlessly blend the diverse talents and charms of each member, promising a fresh and vibrant sound. Their debut mini-album, aptly titled **’SHOT CALLERS,’** dropped on **January 13** at **6 PM KST** across all major online music platforms, instantly becoming a talking point among global K-Pop enthusiasts.
The **’SHOT CALLERS’** EP is a dynamic collection of tracks designed to showcase **LONGSHOT’s** versatile appeal. We’re talking about a lineup that sets the stage for a memorable debut:
- 🎶 The high-energy pre-release track, **’Saucin’**
- 🚗 The smooth ride of **’Backseat’**
- 🚶♂️ The dreamy vibes of **’Moonwalkin’**
- 📞 The engaging beat of **’FaceTime’**

This impressive five-track compilation truly highlights their musical breadth right from the start.
Interestingly, the group’s name, **LONGSHOT**, carries a profound meaning that reflects their journey and ambition. As member **O Yul** explained during the showcase, “It signifies a critical shot to turn the tide, even when the odds are slim. A ‘long shot’ is, by definition, a shot with a low probability.” This ethos perfectly encapsulates their determination to beat the odds and make a significant impact in the competitive K-Pop industry.
Speaking of the name, **Woojin** shared an endearing anecdote: “**Jay Park** himself chose the name ‘Long Shot’ for us. Initially, it felt quite unfamiliar, as it’s not a common expression in Korea. However, as we’ve continued to work as a team under this name, we’ve grown to believe there’s no other word that could possibly replace or better define us. We truly cherish and love it now.” This sentiment reveals a deep connection to their identity, forged directly by their visionary leader.
