Global K-pop sensation 1VERSE (pronounced “universe”) is set to open a dramatic new chapter in their musical journey. South Korean music label Singing Beetle officially announced today that the group will release its highly anticipated first mini album in 2027, accompanied by an expanded second world tour that will reach even more continents.
The double announcement marks the formal conclusion of the group’s defining ‘SHATTERED’ era—a phase that solidified 1VERSE’s distinct identity, global appeal, and artistic autonomy.
Group Identity and Member Profile
Formed under Singing Beetle, 1VERSE has carved out a unique space in the modern K-pop landscape. The group features members Kenny, Aito, and Nathan:
Kenny: Known for his captivating stage presence, vocal versatility, and musical arrangements.
Aito: Delivers powerful dance execution, magnetic charisma, and precision choreography.
Nathan: Adds rich vocal depth, creative songwriting, and dynamic stage energy.
Together, the members stand out for their direct involvement in their creative output, writing and producing their own discography—a rare level of artistic independence for a rising global act.
The Evolution: From “Loop” to the Self-Produced Mini Album
The upcoming mini album represents a natural and ambitious step in the group’s sonic evolution.
Building upon the narrative arc of the SHATTERED era and the international success of their single releases including “Loop”, the upcoming 2027 mini album will feature songs self-produced directly by the members. This project promises an even deeper showcase of their maturing songwriting skills, personal storytelling, and collaborative artistic vision.

During their previous European tour stops, 1VERSE built a passionate fanbase across key cultural capitals such as Paris, London, Berlin, and Amsterdam, earning acclaim for their live vocals and stage production. The upcoming 2027 Second World Tour will build directly on that momentum, expanding into new continents while returning to fan-favorite destinations across Europe and North America.
Fan-Driven Success: Powered by 5TARZ
In a testament to the powerful bond between 1VERSE and their global audience, this next chapter was made possible in part through a dedicated crowdfunding project powered by 5TARZ, the group’s official fandom. Supported by passionate fans worldwide, the successful campaign highlights a modern model of fan engagement and collective empowerment in the global music industry.
