That’s Fire! All-Pinoy K-pop group HORI7ON lands on cover of Forbes Korea despite being rookie idols

Despite being newbies in the K-pop scene, HORI7ON managed to snag the cover spot for Forbes Korea this July.

It’s rare for a rookie group to grace the cover of Forbes Magazine but that was exactly what all Filipino K-pop group HORI7ON managed to achieve less than a year after their debut.

HORI7ON, made up of members Vinci, Kim, Kyler, Reyster, Winston, Jeromy, and Marcus, is featured on the cover of Forbes Korea after they dominated the poll conducted by the magazine for “Male Idols That Shined in the First Half of 2024.”

With an overwhelming 68.64% of the total votes on the Idol Champ app, HORI7ON clinched the top spot at the 2024 Forbes Korea K-pop Awards.

ICYMI, the group was formed through a survival reality show “Dream Maker,” a collab between the Philippines’ ABS-CBN and Korea’s MLD Entertainment, the same label that manages MOMOLAND. They officially debuted in Korea after an intense 100-day training regimen, honing their skills in music, dance, personality development, and the Korean language.
