K-pop sensation Highlight is marking a major milestone, celebrating their 15th debut anniversary. The group, originally debuting in 2009 as Beast and later rebranding as Highlight, has weathered many changes in the K-pop industry and their careers, yet their bond remains stronger than ever.
In a statement released through their agency, Around Us, on Wednesday, the four members reflected on their journey together. “Looking back, a lot has happened, but it feels like time flew by since we’ve been together all the time,” they shared, showing just how close-knit the group has remained over the years.
This year, Highlight made their mark with the release of their fifth EP, Switch On, which further solidified their standing in the K-pop scene. They also embarked on an Asia tour, much to the delight of their fans, once again showcasing their dynamic performances and timeless appeal. Despite the passage of time, the group’s energy and stage presence remains as captivating as ever.
While the members did not reveal any grand plans or statements for the future, they emphasized one thing: they simply enjoyed being together. “There is frankly no intention or any grand message,” they said. “We have the most fun when we are together.” These words highlight the simplicity and authenticity of their connection, both with each other and with their fans.
Highlight's long-standing career in the fast-paced world of K-pop is no small feat. The group has continued to evolve, both musically and personally, while maintaining the loyal support of their fanbase, who have stood by them through thick and thin. Now well into their careers, the band wanted to reassure fans who might worry about when they would return to the stage.
“We are neither family nor friends, but belong to a completely new category,” the members stated, declaring that they are “the closest to each other in the world.” This unique bond has not only kept the group strong but also made them one of the few K-pop acts to survive and thrive in an ever-changing industry.
With their 15th anniversary as a testament to their enduring talent and camaraderie, Highlight continues to demonstrate that their journey is far from over. Whether through new music or future performances, fans can expect the group to keep pushing boundaries and enjoying their time together as they have done for the past decade and a half.
As they look toward the future, one thing is clear: Highlight’s music and bond are built to last, much to the joy of their loyal fans who eagerly await their next steps.
