AND2BLE Reworks f(x)'s 'Hot Summer' for SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer Special Stage

Rookie boy group AND2BLE took the stage at the 2026 SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer with both a new single and a special cover performance.

The five-member group appeared at the show, held August 9 at KINTEX in Ilsan, and performed "Curious," the title track from its first mini-album "Sequence 01: Curiosity."

"Curious" is a song about facing the curiosity that comes with a new beginning and accepting change without fear. Members Zhang Hao, Yoo Seung-eon, Ricky, Kim Gyu-vin and Han Yu-jin paired dynamic choreography with live vocals, showing off the group's performance range.

For the special stage, AND2BLE reinterpreted f(x)'s "Hot Summer." The group appeared in matching marine-style outfits under the theme "Red Summer Night," giving the classic summer track their own spin. Added choreography, facial expressions and small gestures gave the cover a different feel from the original.

AND2BLE is a five-member boy group that debuted in May. Former ZEROBASEONE members Zhang Hao, Ricky, Kim Gyu-vin and Han Yu-jin returned to their original agency, YH Entertainment, after choosing not to renew with WAKEONE. Yoo Seung-eon, previously of EVNNE, joined them to round out the lineup.

The members bring a wide range of ages and personalities to the group. Leader Zhang Hao was born in 2000 and youngest member Han Yu-jin in 2007, a seven-year gap. The group's re-debut album sold 730,000 copies in its first week, a strong sign of fan interest.

AND2BLE has been building momentum quickly since the re-debut. Taking on both an original track and one of f(x)'s signature summer songs at this show pointed to how far the group can stretch its concept.

The 2026 SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer featuring AND2BLE airs August 17.
