QWER, a groundbreaking South Korean girl band formed under 3Y Corporation and Tamago Production, made an electrifying debut on October 18, 2023, with their single album “Harmony from Discord.” The name QWER, inspired by the QWERTY keyboard, reflects their roots in the gaming community, particularly resonating with fans of League of Legends. The group emerged from the innovative “QWER Project,” a YouTube series that showcased the journey of four talented female online personalities as they transitioned into a cohesive musical unit, captivating audiences with their unique blend of gaming culture and pop music.

Each member brought a wealth of experience to the table: Chodan and Magenta were established Twitch streamers, Hina was a prominent TikTok content creator and cosplayer, while Siyeon previously dazzled as a member of the Japanese idol group NMB48. Their debut showcase at Musinsa Garage in Seoul was a resounding success, with the lead track “Discord” achieving remarkable chart placements, including 5th on Spotify’s “Viral 50 – Japan” and a 21-week run on YouTube Music’s “Korea Weekly Top Songs.”

Following their debut, QWER quickly solidified their presence in the industry with a series of successful releases, including their first EP “Manito” and the anticipated single “Fake Idol.” Their collaboration with Riot Games for the special single “Anima Power” further showcased their innovative approach, merging music with gaming culture. The group’s dynamic performances and engaging content have garnered them a dedicated fanbase, affectionately known as Scuttle Crab (바위게).

QWER’s impact on the music scene is undeniable, as they continue to break barriers and redefine the idol experience. With their sights set on global recognition, including aspirations to chart on Billboard, QWER is not just a band; they are a movement, inspiring a new generation of artists and fans alike. Their journey is just beginning, and the world eagerly awaits their next chapter.
