Ruka, one of the first female Japanese idols to debut under YG Entertainment, has been captivating audiences with her incredible dancing skills and charming dimples. Officially introduced on February 9, 2023, Ruka has already made a name for herself in the music industry as a member of the Japanese girl group Shibu3 project.

With a background in hip-hop dancing, Ruka has been perfecting her craft since the tender age of six. Her dedication to dance is evident not only in her impressive performances but also in her daily life, as she often practices in her dorm during her free time. Ruka's exceptional understanding of dance and her years of experience have earned her high praise from her dance instructor, LEEJUNG, and even YG Entertainment's former CEO.

In addition to her dancing prowess, Ruka is a multilingual talent, fluent in Japanese, Korean, and English. She joined YG Entertainment in 2018 after a successful audition with DJ Khaled's "Top Off," featuring JAY Z, Future, and Beyoncé. Prior to joining YG, Ruka was under PLATINUM PRODUCTION between 2017 and 2018.

Ruka's passion for dance is matched by her dedication to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. She enjoys doing pilates regularly and has incorporated drinking milk into her daily morning routine. Ruka's talents extend beyond dancing, as she starred in Ueda Atsumi's music video for "Happy Halloween!"

Pharita

Pharita, who was officially introduced as the sixth member on February 2, 2023, has quickly made a name for herself as a talented and captivating performer. As the third Thai idol to debut under YG Entertainment, Pharita is following in the footsteps of BLACKPINK's Lisa and fellow group member Chikita.

A former child model, Pharita has been in the spotlight from a young age. She attended Ruamrudee International School and won first place and the grand prize at Inter Model Thailand. Known for her photogenic appearance, YG Entertainment's former CEO even remarked that she looks like she stepped straight out of a Disney movie.

Pharita's close friendship with BLACKPINK's Lisa has undoubtedly influenced her career, as Lisa serves as her role model and the person she aspires to be like. Pharita's audition for YG Entertainment in July 2020 saw her perform BLACKPINK's "How You Like That," and she was chosen from among 1,226 applicants.

Now fluent in both Thai and English, Pharita has a unique charm that makes her increasingly intriguing to her fans. She's a huge fan of anime and loves visiting the zoo, with giraffes and birds being her favorite animals. Despite her growing fame, Pharita remains down-to-earth and genuine, even sharing that she feels awkward or nervous around cameras.

Pharita's morning routine reflects her dedication to self-care, as she ties her hair up, washes her face, and applies moisturizer, Vaseline, and eye cream. One of the significant changes she experienced when moving to South Korea was adjusting to dorm life.

Asa

Asa, who was officially introduced as the fourth member of her group on January 26, 2023, is a multi-talented artist hailing from Japan. As one of the first Japanese females to debut under YG Entertainment, she joins fellow member Ruka in breaking new ground for the company.

Born in Japan, Asa has been passionate about performing arts since her childhood. Before her debut, she gained experience in musical theater and even participated in the LADYBIRD Green Musical in 2017. Asa's talent was evident from an early age, as she first auditioned for YG Entertainment at just 12 years old with the song "Weekend Warrior."

Asa's mother, a fan of Block B's music, likely influenced her daughter's love for K-Pop. Asa performed Block B's "Very Very Good" at a dance school in Japan when she was only 7 years old. Her dedication to her craft is evident in her approach to learning new dances, as she asks numerous questions to ensure she fully understands the choreography. Leejung, their dance trainer, often praises Asa for her ability to quickly pick up new routines.

With a strong foundation in dance since Year 2, Asa has also developed other hobbies, such as cooking and skipping rope. She is a true linguist, speaking Japanese, Korean, and a bit of English.
