In 30 seconds: GLAM
The run was short: a five-member debut, a reshuffle that left the group smaller, and a comeback that mixed trot with European pop.
Come here if you want to see an early, experimental attempt at a girl group by a label that later got very good at them.

- 2013After Trinity left, the four who remained carried on with the signature song and a comeback track, building the core catalogue of a short run.
- 2014News about individual members outweighed group activity in this stretch, and the outline of a short-lived act set in.

KPOP DISCOVER's GLAM note
What makes GLAM worth knowing is that it sits on an experimental early thread in the story of HYBE girl groups. Source Music and Big Hit Entertainment sent the act out together, and although the run was not long, the name is impossible to skip when looking back at how girl groups in that lineage began.
The debut single Party (XXO) carries the energy of the five-member line, I Like That shows how the group stood after the move to four, and In Front of the Mirror brings the colour of a comeback mixing trot with euro pop. Even in a small catalogue, splitting the videos from the stage performances makes the change easy to follow.
Official music videos, music show stages, soundtrack appearances and the separate threads of each member are kept apart rather than blended together. Because the group has disbanded, the guidance leans on label-distributed video and direct links. Party (XXO), then I Like That, then In Front of the Mirror runs from the energy of the five-member line through the signature track to the colour of the comeback.
Editors' take Party (XXO) / I Like That / In Front of the Mirror — an experimental short run in the prehistory of HYBE, told in three songs by a Source Music and Big Hit act.

Japan activity score
KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 233/ 241 groups
No. 233 of 241 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 97%)
- 0Japanese releases
- 0Japan-related tracks
- 0Members from Japan
- 1Official Japanese accounts
The denominator is the 241 groups, out of 564 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
