- 2018Appearing on The Unit opened more ways to get to know them one by one, and Nanana moved on to a more polished dance song.
- 2019Japanese singles and a world tour strengthened the path to a committed fanbase outside the Korean activity.
- 2020Lie stands for the later IMFACT and shows how far the vocals and the performance had matured.

KPOP DISCOVER's IMFACT note
What runs through IMFACT is the change from a bright start to a polished later stretch. Star Empire Entertainment debuted the five-member boy group in January 2016 with Lollipop, and the roles of rap, main vocal, production and performance sit clearly apart from one another.
Lollipop, Feel So Good and Nanana form the way in. Take the bright debut song, then the early track with momentum, then the polished sound of the later years in order, and the change IMFACT went through falls into place.
There is the singing of Jeup and Taeho, the production work of Ungjae and the leader and rap line of Jian, so The Unit and the solo careers can be read as routes back to the group. What remains is not only a short run of activity but the individual strengths of the members. Lollipop, then Feel So Good, then Nanana carries the brightness, the momentum and the polish.
Editors' take Lollipop / Feel So Good / Nanana — a Star Empire five-piece whose path from a bright start to a polished finish fits into three songs.
Trivia worth knowing
Name
IMFACT layers I'm Fact over Impact, aiming at truthfulness and strong impression at once.
Monthly song
IMFACTORY in 2017 put out songs at short intervals, running from In The Club through to Only U.
Self-produced
Songwriting credits and solo work by the members open up more than an idol catalogue would suggest.
Programme route
Several members appeared on The Unit, and that programme still sends new listeners back to the group.
Japan activity
Adding Only U Japanese Ver. brings the fan-facing side of the work into view beside the Korean singles.
Later years
Nanana and Lie mark the move from early brightness into a more polished late style.

Japan activity score
KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 195/ 241 groups
No. 195 of 241 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 81%)
- 1Japanese releases
- 2Japan-related tracks
- 0Members from Japan
- 0Official 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.
