Everything You Wanted to Know About K-Pop Group The KingDom
We've never met a K-pop group with a concept quite like The KingDom's.
Formed in 2021 as KINGDOM, the seven-member boy group consists of Dann, Arthur, Mujin, Louis, Ivan, Hwon and Jahan, each representing a different king throughout history. The band has released seven albums, the various parts of History of Kingdom, each one telling the story of a different member and their kingdom, and after recently wrapping a U.S. tour, they're preparing to launch a brand new narrative as The KingDom. As longtime fans, we had the pleasure of catching up with the group, and they told us all about themselves below as our Man Crush Monday.
