QWER (Korean: 큐더블유이알) is a South Korean girl band under Tamago Productions. They debuted on October 18, 2023, with the single album Harmony from Discord.

Name

[edit | edit source]

The group's English name is derived from the QWERTY keyboard, with Q, W, E, and R being the primary keys used in online games such as League of Legends.[1][2][3] The fandom's name 바위게 (Scuttle Crab) is also a reference to the multiplayer video game.[4]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Formation

[edit | edit source]

The group was formed through the "QWER Project", a YouTube series aiming to create a girl group composed of female online personalities.[1] The project was launched by Tamago Production, a company started by the YouTuber and web content creator Kim Gye-ran, in collaboration with 3Y Corporation. "QWER Project" followed the four members' incorporation into the group, their training, and daily lives.[3] QWER's actual management and production were jointly handled by Three 3Y corporation and Prism Filter Music Group. 3Y Corporation is in charge of management tasks such as content making, schedule management, and marketing, and Prism Filter Music Group was in charge of all music-related tasks, such as members' lessons and training, album work, and concerts. On October 29, 2025, the joint production contract between 3Y Corporation and Prism Filter Music Group was terminated. Accordingly, from that point on, the management and support of all QWER activities were taken over by Tamago Production and 3Y Corporation, of which Gye-ran Kim belongs. It was announced that Producer Lee Dong-hyeok, who was in charge of the existing music production of 'QWER', will continue to be in charge of producing 'QWER' regardless of the termination of the co-production contract.[5]

Prior to their debut, each of the members already had established online careers. Chodan and Magenta were active streamers on Twitch, Hina was a popular content creator and cosplayer on TikTok with 4 million followers, and Siyeon is a former member of the Japanese idol group NMB48.[1][3][6] At the project's launch on July 2, 2023, Magenta and Hina had no prior experience with their instruments and began learning them after joining the band.[7]
