Expectations were rightfully sky-high for LNGSHOT, often heralded as Jay Park’s ‘first idol group,’ as they finally stepped into the global spotlight on Mnet’s ‘M Countdown’. And we at Hello Korea can confirm: they did not disappoint.

Comprising the dynamic quartet of OYUL, RYUL, WOOJIN, and RUI, LNGSHOT made their highly anticipated official debut on the evening of January 15th. The group unveiled stages for two tracks from their debut EP, ‘SHOT CALLERS’: the pre-release single ‘Saucin” and the compelling title track, ‘Moonwalkin’.’

Prior to their performance, LNGSHOT shared their debut sentiments in an interview, expressing both nerves and excitement. “We’re nervous yet thrilled,” the members stated, “but we plan to enjoy the stage with all the fans who came to see us.” They then teased their highly anticipated choreography with a captivating point dance, instantly amplifying the buzz.

The debut stage commenced with ‘Saucin’,’ a track that immediately showcased LNGSHOT’s unbridled energy. The group captivated audiences with an infectious melody and beat, infusing ‘M Countdown’ with their undeniably hip and unique charm. The audience’s response was nothing short of explosive, solidifying their immediate impact.

Carrying the momentum, LNGSHOT seamlessly transitioned into their title track, ‘Moonwalkin’.’ What truly set them apart was a stage presence far beyond what one would expect from rookies. Their performance was a masterful blend of relaxed confidence and sensual execution, paired with impeccably stable live vocals that captivated both eyes and ears. The members’ sophisticated styling further amplified their distinctive aura, demonstrating an astute awareness of visual narrative. Their flawless camera engagement, intricate choreography, powerful vocals, and sharp rap skills collectively underscored an extraordinary level of talent and professionalism.

The debut EP, ‘SHOT CALLERS,’ serves as LNGSHOT’s inaugural declaration of identity and ambition. It’s an expansive collection that expertly fuses diverse sounds, from hip-hop and R&B to pop. The title track, ‘Moonwalkin’,’ stands as the project’s foundational piece. It metaphorically likens the ‘moonwalk’ to the complex emotions of youth – a blend of dreams and self-assurance amidst a dreamy atmosphere. The lyrics powerfully articulate their resolve to forge ahead, undeterred by uncertainty.

As LNGSHOT embarks on their thrilling journey, we at Hello Korea eagerly anticipate their continued presence on various music broadcasts and their evolution within the global K-pop scene.
