The next-generation global virtual boy group 'B THE HOOD,' presented by entertainment tech company LEVELS, is drawing attention with its unique universe even before its official debut.

B THE HOOD has been building a fandom by consecutively releasing universe teaser videos and short-form animations depicting the members' 'Earth Adaptation Diary' through its official YouTube channel. Notably, despite being prior to their official debut, they have already surpassed 40,000 YouTube subscribers, proving solid anticipation.

■ A Twist SF Universe Hidden Within Cuteness The released animations feature the quirky and adorable daily lives of the members transformed into cute characters. However, beneath the surface lies an intricate universe reminiscent of a heavy SF film.

• The core story setting of B THE HOOD is as follows:
• Home Planet: 'Planet Novus,' where emotions are excluded and only efficiency is valued
• Reason for Coming to Earth: They detected the Golden Record signal from Earth's Voyager probe and escaped
• Current Appearance: A sort of 'Low Power Mode' to adapt to Earth's environment

In the previously released universe teaser video, their originally hip visuals were cross-edited with a chase sequence from a surveillance system, strongly stimulating curiosity about their true identity.

A LEVELS official stated, "B THE HOOD is the result of combining technological capabilities with subculture sensibilities and intricate storytelling," adding, "As the vast universe hidden within their cute appearances is gradually revealed, it will offer a unique kind of enjoyment."

Armed with the original concept of 'five aliens who chose Earth,' anticipation is mounting over what kind of music and performance B THE HOOD will showcase in the future.
