History

[edit | edit source]

2023: Pre-debut

[edit | edit source]

Q_ARE was formed out of a docu-reality series titled “QR Project”, in which Alex, a music producer under Online Beat Production, held a massive online casting call. 20 contestants were chosen to participate and showcase their talents and 10 were eliminated. Those ten left were put under a rigorous vocal and dance training program to then finally determine the final 7 members.[3]

Beginning on January 8, 2024, Q_ARE uploaded to their official Instagram, individual member photos teasing their debut single, “Try Again”.

Taken from the term “pop Chileno” or “Chilean pop” in English.[37][38] Not to be confused with the Chilean snack, Chispop.
