Exclusive interview: 12 questions with K-pop's Treasure

Treasure’s 2020: YG Entertainment’s first K-pop group since Blackpink released three single albums in just 100 days, but how did they do it? – exclusive interview

Formed through TV show YG Treasure Box, Treasure’s Bang Ye-dam, Jihoon, Haruto et al are going strong with latest release The First Step: Chapter Three

From Big Bang to Blackpink, YG Entertainment has granted K-pop fans many happy moments with its brilliant artists in recent years. And this year – four years after Blackpink’s debut – YG Entertainment gave us new boy band Treasure. 

Since its members were selected through TV programme YG Treasure Box, which ran from late 2018 to early 2019, many K-pop fans have been keeping an eye out for Treasure’s debut. The group’s first appearance was originally slated for 2019, but it was postponed.

Thankfully, Treasure finally made their record-breaking debut in early August and are already on their third single, “The First Step: Chapter Three”

STYLE scored an exclusive interview and asked the group some of our most pressing questions.
