MIRAE (; presented in all caps), was a South Korean boy band established in 2021 under the management of DSP Media. The ensemble comprised seven members: Lien, Lee Jun-hyuk, Yoo Dou-hyun, Khael, Son Dong-pyo, Park Si-young, and Jang Yu-bin. Their debut occurred on March 17, 2021, with the extended play (EP) Killa. The group officially disbanded on July 9, 2024, leaving only Son as an artist still signed with the agency. Throughout their active years, they produced five EPs along with six singles in Korean and one single in Japanese.
Name
The term MIRAE translates to "future." In Korean, it signifies "Future Boys." Their emblem features the Hangul consonants of their name arranged within a hexagonal shape. This name embodies their ambition to symbolize and pioneer the forthcoming era of K-pop.
Pre-debut
Prior to their official debut, Son Dong-pyo and Lee Jun-hyuk took part in Produce X 101. Son Dong-pyo secured sixth place and became a member of X1 until its dissolution in January 2020. Meanwhile, Khael and Park Si-young competed on Under Nineteen.
On January 31, 2020, DSP Media introduced official social media platforms for their upcoming boy band initially known as DSP N.
2021: Debut with Killa and Splash
At midnight on February 1, 2021, DSP N rebranded themselves as MIRAE, revealing an animated logo video and launching their social media channels. By February 22, DSP Media officially announced the group's debut. Individual member introductions were released sequentially from February 2 through February 8: Park Si Young, Lee Jun Hyuk, Lien, Son Dong Pyo, Jang Yu Bin, Khael, and Yoo Do Hyun. A collective profile film was unveiled on February 9.
MIRAE's first EP Killa was released on March 17, 2021. Their debut performance followed the next day on Mnet's M Countdown. The debut music video garnered over 10 million views rapidly, while the EP sold upwards of 26,000 copies during its initial week—earning them recognition as "2021 Super Rookies."
Their sophomore EP Splash was launched on August 25 of the same year.
2022–2024: Marvelous, Ourturn, concluding activities and disbandment
On January 12, 2022, MIRAE unveiled their third EP titled Marvelous. Later that year, on September 28, they released their fourth EP called Ourturn. After three years together, the group disbanded on July 9, 2024; all members departed from the agency except for Son Dong-pyo.
