Jay Park’s MORE VISION Unleashes LONGSHOT: The New Boy Group Ready to Flip the K-Pop Game! 🚀🔥

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.

Group LONGSHOT (O Yul, Ryul, Woojin, Louie) poses at their debut EP ‘SHOT CALLERS’ release showcase at Myeonghwa Live Hall in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of January 13. This debut EP includes a total of five songs: the pre-release track ‘Saucin’, ‘Backseat’, ‘Moonwalkin’, ‘FaceTime’, and ‘Never Let Go’. /2026.01.13 /Photo=Lee Dong-hoon photoguy@

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’**
  • 🤝 And the powerful anthem, **’Never Let Go’**

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.

This debut marks not just a new chapter for these talented artists, but also for **MORE VISION’s** groundbreaking vision in the industry, proving that sometimes, the biggest rewards come from taking the biggest risks. We’re certainly keeping a close eye on these compelling new contenders.

With their powerful debut EP and a unique narrative guided by **Jay Park’s** artistic direction, **LONGSHOT** is undoubtedly poised to become one of K-Pop’s most exciting “hidden gems,” ready to flip the script and establish themselves as true “shot callers” in the global music scene.
