With their difficult training and super-tight schedules, only some K-pop idols manage to get the popularity they deserve.

When we talk about groups like BTS, Blackpink, Seventeen, etc., we get to know that many people are sincerely inspired by their music, and it provides them with mental peace.
Some K-Pop groups achieve so much popularity even before their debut. One of those groups is- “ON AIR.” It is one of the groups that have huge fandoms before their debut. On Air has many fans rooting for them and wishing them good luck for their debut.
