HYBE Rookie TUIDE Pre Debut TikTok Reaches 1 Million Followers: Explosive Viral Word-of-Mouth

TUIDE, the highly anticipated new K-pop girl group under HYBE’s sub-label ABD, is capturing intense global interest well before their official debut.

According to agency statement on August 10, 2026, TUIDE’s official TikTok account surpassed 1 million followers on August 7, just six days after publishing their very first video content. This achievement is particularly notable as it was driven purely by performance word-of-mouth without standard promotional campaigns, detailed member profiles, or pre-debut audition survival shows.

Viral Impact of Pre-Release Track ‘GRLS’

At the center of the pre-debut excitement is TUIDE’s stylish choreography for their track “GRLS,” a B-side from their upcoming 1st Mini Album TUNE & PLAY.

The choreography features a unique house dance foundation infused with dynamic hip-hop and soul vibes. Critics and fans alike have praised the innovative “self-introduction” routine, where dynamic solo intros transition seamlessly into unit formations and energetic full-group moves.

Preview Event Confidence and Official Debut Plans

Demonstrating strong artistic confidence, TUIDE previously premiered their entire album tracklist live during their exclusive preview event, PLAYGROUND, held on August 1 and 2.

“The seamless transition between solo spotlights and unit formations creates a visual groove that perfectly mirrors the rhythm of ‘GRLS’.”

TUIDE will make their official industry debut on August 24, 2026, at 6 PM KST with their primary title track, “SUN KISS.” Having generated massive momentum purely through performance talent, the group is already being tipped as one of the standout K-pop debuts of the year.
