KPOP DISCOVER's SAY MY NAME note
SAY MY NAME turns on the brightness of a multinational line-up and on how far the singing, the dancing and the stage have grown. The 8-piece under iNKODE takes in members from Korea, Japan, China and Thailand, and the second debut of Hitomi sits alongside the brightness of a rookie group.
The 1st EP SAY MY NAME built the early picture through Be a Star, WaveWay and 8llowme, and the 2nd EP My Name Is... widened further into pop with ShaLala and XOXO.
Follow as far as iLy and &Our Vibe and the growth in singing, dancing, stage work and it's Live shows up in a way no single music video can. The Japanese version of ShaLala can be taken on its own as well. Read as WaveWay, then ShaLala, then iLy, the path covers the early days, the pop turn and where they stand.
Editors' take WaveWay / ShaLala / iLy — three songs carry the brightness of a multinational line-up and the growth in singing and dancing, from an iNKODE 8-piece.
Trivia worth knowing
Hitomi
Hitomi came from IZ*ONE, so there is a way in for anyone following what happened after that group.
Nationalities
Members come from Japan, China, Thailand and South Korea, and the profiles cross those borders too.
Early EP
The first EP runs four songs: Be a Star, WaveWay, 8llowme and Goldilocks Water.
Japanese version
The Japanese version of ShaLala is kept as a Japanese release, apart from the Korean EP.
Live
Band-set versions of iLy and UFO (ATTENT!ON) can be watched on it's Live.
Fandom
LOVvmE has a distinctive written shape, so the official spelling is kept exactly as it is.

Japan activity score
KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 135/ 241 groups
No. 135 of 241 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 56%)
- 1Japanese releases
- 1Japan-related tracks
- 2Members 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.
