ODD YOUTH (오드유스)

ODD YOUTH (오드유스) arrived on the K-pop scene on November 1, 2024, a five-member girl group whose early trajectory has been defined by a deliberate push outward — from a domestic debut to international stages — and a musical identity built around the tension between youthful energy and emerging adulthood.

Debut & Formation

The group debuted in November 2024 with a lineup of five members: Kanie, Maika, Myah, Summer, and Yeeum, the youngest of the five. Their fandom, known as ODYz, formed around the group from the outset, and ODD YOUTH have moved steadily to build that fanbase through both recorded releases and direct offline engagement.

Music & Discography

The group's second single, "Babyface", released in March 2026, marked a conscious shift in tone. Framed as an exploration of the passage from adolescence into one's twenties, the release leaned into a pop dance framework built around an addictive melody, while the accompanying music video — teased with scenes of a coming-of-age party and full group choreography — signaled upgraded production values and a more mature visual direction. The single was positioned not simply as a follow-up but as the opening of a new narrative chapter, one the group described as capturing the changes that come with transitioning out of their teens.

Activities

By April 2026, ODD YOUTH had extended their reach beyond Korea, confirming their first Taiwan promotional activities as part of a broader move into international markets. Around the same period, the group drew notable attention with a ceremonial first pitch and performance at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, a high-profile public appearance that placed them in front of a large general audience. Various offline fan events have also been scheduled, reflecting a consistent effort to maintain close contact with ODYz as the group grows.
