From debut to now
- 2015Storm made the debut and showed a hard dance line from a five-member group out of DreamT Entertainment.
- 2016Swagger Time on the Korean side, together with a Japanese single and Love Story, opened ways in for both countries at once.
- 2017Momentum widened the Korean catalogue, and the Japanese digital singles No Surrender and Here We Go were added.
- 2018Vroom Vroom and I'm ready JP ver thickened the Japanese releases and strengthened the live and event side.
- 2019MAP6 the First and I like it ! left a high point on the Japanese album and EP side, putting the later catalogue into order.
- 2020Military service and changes around the agency sent group activity into a long pause, shifting things toward looking back on the earlier work.
- 2021As members finished their service, the focus fell on individual routes and rediscovering earlier releases rather than the group itself.
- 2022News about Minhyuk added more ways to find MAP6, making it easier to dig back through the line that runs from A-PRINCE.

KPOP DISCOVER's MAP6 note
What runs through MAP6 is a rebuild out of A-PRINCE and a body of Japanese work built up over years. DreamT Entertainment debuted the five-member boy group in 2015 with Storm, starting as a reformed group that included members from A-PRINCE. Minhyuk, J.Jun, Sign, Sun and J.Vin made up the five.
Storm, Swagger Time and Love is Gone make the way in. Take the hard-dancing debut song, then the brighter middle-period track, then the emotional turn of the later years in order, and the shift across their Korean activity becomes visible.
The Japanese releases matter too, and lining up Vroom Vroom, I'm ready JP ver and I like it ! shows where they stand as a group that built contact with a committed fanbase. Storm, then Swagger Time, then Love is Gone carries the debut, the middle years and the late period.
Editors' take Storm / Swagger Time / Love is Gone — a rebuild out of A-PRINCE and years of Japanese work, gathered into three songs by a DreamT five-piece.
Trivia worth knowing
Predecessor
Minhyuk, J.Jun, Sun and J.Vin came through A-PRINCE, so MAP6 also stands as a fresh start.
Sign
Sign did not come from A-PRINCE, and he adds the colour that belongs to MAP6 alone.
Japanese releases
Vroom Vroom, I'm ready JP ver, MAP6 the First and I like it ! are the key markers for the Japanese activity.
Official videos
Storm, Swagger Time, I'm Ready and Love is Gone show their strength once the stage clips and Dance Practice go with the video.
Fandom
MAPSI is given as the fandom name for MAP6, and it remains a search handle after the short active period.
How to follow
Adding the Japanese albums to the Korean singles turns a thin discography into something with depth.

Japan activity score
KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 18/ 241 groups
No. 18 of 241 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 7%)
- 10Japanese releases
- 44Japan-related tracks
- 0Members from Japan
- 2Official 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.
