ONEST is a new 5th-generation project Girl group making its way into Global K-pop. The popularity of K-pop is spreading at a rapid pace. Almost everyone dreams of becoming a K-pop idol, and for that, training begins at a very young age in South Korea. Even the South Korean education systems have music departments these days to create talented idols from schools or colleges.
ONEST is one of the examples of a group that debuted from university while graduating. This girl group consists of a total of nine members Seunga, Nabi, Yu1L, Dayun, Sara K, Je Hwanhee, Kim Tae-hee, Kim Yejin, and Nahyun.
