Be.A’s Debut
Be.A debuted on January 7th, 2014, as 5-member idol group K.Much. K.Much was under the same management as girl group Crayon Pop. The name K.Much was inspired by snakehead fish (Kamulchi in Korean) who can live in difficult environments. According to Chrome Entertainment, K.Much wished to grow and survive in the K-Pop industry. K.Much released their debut album Beyond The Ocean in 2014. Despite the popularity of their sister group Crayon Pop, K.Much/Be.A received a lukewarm response from K-Pop fans. Fans noticed that the idol group can be successful due to the members’ talents, popular songs, or intense promotion from the agency. However, K.Much lacked the entire recipe for success. Moreover, Chrome Entertainment was heavily criticized for enabling the debut and promotions of new idol groups, including K.Much/Be.A. It seemed that Chrome Entertainment was taking advantage of Crayon Pop’s popularity. The members of new idol groups were selected without proper training. K.Much joined the funding site Makestar and gather enough funds for another shot. In 2017, K.Much re-debuted and changed its name to Be.A. Be.A stands for Be Artists.
