How tripleS Became The “LA LA LA” Group

The group utilizes a dedicated app called Cosmo, which allows fans to participate in decision-making processes and interact with the members.

Their large number of members presents both challenges and opportunities, with member Kim Na-kyoung humorously noting that they often have to visit hair salons in shifts due to their size.

The release of “###” is anticipated to showcase TripleS’s versatility and appeal to the Japanese market. It will likely feature a mix of Korean and Japanese lyrics, demonstrating the group’s linguistic capabilities and cultural adaptability. As TripleS continues to evolve and expand their reach, their Japanese pre-debut marks another exciting chapter in their journey. With their innovative concept, diverse talents, and growing fanbase, TripleS is poised to make a significant impact on the Japanese music scene while continuing to redefine the possibilities of K-pop girl groups.
