![]() 29 and its lead track “Savage,” the group is ready to prove they’ve grown from five boys dancing in the streets to a K-pop band that’s ready to shine. With their latest EP “Under Cover: The Mad Squad” on Oct. 9 of Billboard’s World Albums chart in May with their second EP “Under Cover.” Last week, it debuted on Billboard’s Social 50 chart for the first time. A.C.E was awarded the Next Artist Award at the 2019 Soribada Best K-Music Awards and peaked at No. Perhaps they shine all the more for the efforts they made to overcome those hardships. A.C.E has gone through all the difficulties of a boy band struggling to make it with little help from its entertainment agency. When we came back after the show and practiced altogether, I felt like I was back home.”īefore their debut in 2016, they uploaded a video of their song “Zombie” and literally went out to the streets: putting on street performances covering other groups’ songs in parts of Seoul popular with young people. “It was a meaningful experience, with some hardships. “It made us become closer to each other after taking part in the show,” said Chan.
