[THE FACTㅣReporter Kim Soo-min] YOUNG POSSE was selected as 'Hot Potential' at the '2024 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS (TMA)'.

On the 7th, YOUNG POSSE received the 'Hot Potential' award at the '2024 The Fact Music Awards' hosted by <The Fact> and organized by FAN N STAR and FEELINGVIVE. The 2024 TMA will be held at Kyocera Dome Osaka in Osaka, Japan on this day and the 8th.

After receiving the award, YOUNG POSSE went on stage and said, "First of all, I would like to thank everyone at the 2024 The Fact Music Awards who gave us this award," and "I am grateful for not only the award but also the opportunity to perform on a big stage."

They smiled brightly and said, "I think this award is possible thanks to all the staff members of Beats Entertainment and DSP Media, as well as everyone who has always come here and cheered us on."

She continued, "I'm so grateful to YOUNG POSSE's parents who gave birth to the members, and I'm so grateful and love you, Teleposse (fandom name). I'll always be a YOUNG POSSE who works hard."

The 'Hot Potential' award is given to a singer (or team) who has the potential to grow into the center of global K-pop. The winner was determined through objective data such as music source performance and album sales, and a fair and strict judging process by the judging panel.

YOUNG POSSE debuted in the music industry in October of last year by releasing their first mini-album 'MACARONI CHEESE EP' containing their own story. They were evaluated to have shown YOUNG POSSE's unique charm with a unique sound that had never been heard before and minimal beats. They pursued a 'hip-hop' concept unlike existing girl groups, and even earned the nickname 'Korean hip-hop'. In particular, their second mini-album 'XXL' paid homage to Seo Taiji and Boys' 'Comeback Home', which became a hot topic.
