From debut to now
- 2024The Performance Video for +82 drew pre-debut attention, and the official debut came on June 3 with the single OVERSTEP and BADVILLAIN.
- 2025THRILLER arrived, and with a Performance Video beside it the line from the aggressive early sound to where they stand is easier to trace.
- 2026The official catalogue is still short, so OVERSTEP through THRILLER, and the music videos, Dance Practices and Performances alike, all carry equal weight.

KPOP DISCOVER's BADVILLAIN note
BADVILLAIN turns on an aggressive sound heavy with hip-hop colour and on performance where both the cut of the edit and the shape of the formations stay visible. BPM Entertainment debuted this 7-piece girl group on June 3, 2024 with the single OVERSTEP, and the aggressive direction was already set by the Performance Video for +82 that drew attention before debut.
The debut release OVERSTEP holds BADVILLAIN, YAH-HO and +82, and the track list alone sketches the early picture. Go on to THRILLER in 2025 and the tension the title promises, along with a sharper visual edge, comes forward. Compare the music video, the Dance Practice and the Performance Video and the gap between what the edit flatters and what the formations actually do becomes clear.
The official catalogue is still short, so giving equal weight to everything from OVERSTEP through to THRILLER suits the group. Taken as OVERSTEP, then +82, then THRILLER, the path carries the aggressive sound and the performance.
Editors' take OVERSTEP / +82 / THRILLER — three songs carry an aggressive sound heavy with hip-hop colour and the performance behind it, from a BPM 7-piece.
Trivia worth knowing
Company
BADVILLAIN sits on the BPM Entertainment roster, taking a harder hip-hop line for a new act than labelmates such as VIVIZ.
Debut release
OVERSTEP carries BADVILLAIN, YAH-HO and +82, so the early picture comes from the other tracks as much as from the title song.
Backstory
With +82 the Performance Video lands first and hardest, and watching it before the debut song shows where the choreography is heading.
Video
Comparing the MV, Dance Practice and Performance Video separates what the editing flatters from how the formations actually run.
Members
Chloe Young and Emma have roots in Canada and INA in Australia, and those backgrounds give a useful bearing on the group.
Recent releases
THRILLER is the 2025 entry point, pushing a tension true to its title and a sharper visual edge than the earlier songs.
