QWER (Vorlage:Korean) is a South Korean girl band under 3Y Corporation and Tamago Production. They debuted on October 18, 2023, with the single album Harmony from Discord.
Name
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]
The group's native name "최애의 아이들" (translating to "my favourite idol") is a reference to the manga series Oshi no Ko.[5]
Career
Formation
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-Gyeran, in collaboration with 3Y Corporation. "QWER Project" followed the four members’ incorporation into the group, their training, and daily lives.[3]
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, and Siyeon is a former member of the Japanese idol group NMB48.[1][3][6]
