MAJORS is a K-pop girl group under ANS Entertainment that debuted on March 9, 2021, with members Vita, Bian, Ida, Aki, Suzy, and Shinye.

MAJORS had released three single albums titled: The Beginning of Legend, The Beginning of Legend – Rising Star, and The Beginning of Legend – Shining Star. The first two single albums have two songs each, and the third single album, which is also their first English EP, has three tracks.

Jimin’s stage name emerges from the word ‘Vitamin’ as she is someone who can make people happy and give them strength. Alongside her killer visuals, Vita is a multi-talented artist who is also a multi-instrumentalist. From the violin to the flute to the piano, you name it, and she can play it. With her charming visuals, she has also been a cheerleader during her school days. She has an English name, and that is Pauline. If she were to pick who she is the closest to in the group MAJORS, that would be Bian.
She cherishes her fans, who she lovingly calls, MVPs wholeheartedly. She enjoys food, and her favorite cuisine amongst all is French cuisine in particular. On May 25, 2022, it was announced that she would be going on an indefinite hiatus, however, she later started posting on social media on July 27, 2022.
Bian
Yu Jiwon, or Bian, is the Main Vocalist and Main Dancer of the girl group MAJORS. She was born on February 13, 2001, in Seoul in South Korea. She is an alumni of Incheon Seocang Middle School and Incheon Financial High School. Even though Bian debuted with MAJORS on March 9, 2021, her journey with K-pop began before that. Her debut with MAJORS was not her first debut, instead, she first debuted with ANS, which was a girl group of ANS Entertainment, back in September 2019.
However, ANS disbanded soon in August 2020. Bian did not stop there with her debuts. Before all of this, she was a pre-debut member of the group MIDNIGHT which debuted with a song, but Bian ended up quitting the group because of the controversies that one single song caused. After re-debuting as Bian, she has been a part of MAJORS ever since.
Bian has visuals to die for and this reflects in her plans to become a model. To make this plan a reality, the Seoul-born girl has signed a contract with a Chinese company called ‘Haiwen’. Bian wants to pursue this as a part of her career in the entertainment industry. When one day Jiwon suddenly just removed ‘MAJORS’ from all her social media bios, the fans got concerned wondering if the 22-year-old has thought of leaving the group. Since she also unfollowed all her members at MAJORS, the media and the fans have assumed that she has quit the group for reasons not disclosed yet.
Jiwon’s mother took a stand for her daughter and took to Instagram posting that Bian is just a memory; she will be Jiwon from now on. After the disbandment of ANS, when most members had left the company, Jiwon was made to join the group MAJORS that was to debut right after some time of ANS’ disbandment. She was one of the idols to have been moved from one group to another.
