As for details on the members of the Hong Kong girl group, Nata was a former member of the Hong Kong national rhythmic gymnastics team. On the other hand, Shin, is the group's leader and is surprisingly part Korean.

For their Korean debut, the girl group will perform their dance single called "Candy Ball." The song has been described as TVReport as "magical and mystical with the charming sounds like a fairy tale." Contributing to the girl group's debut include Hong Won Ki of ZANYBROS, Lee Ki Yong Bae, Maybee, Seo Soo Kyung, and the WAWA Dance Team.

As One of Hong Kong isn't the only girl group to make it to today's headlines. Early this week, China announced their first all-girl group believed to be the biggest with approximately 56 members. 56 Flowers made their debut before the month of June ended.
