debut

What does debut mean?

In K-pop, the official first release and stage performance of an idol or group. It's treated like a coronation — debut showcase, debut MV, debut stage on a music show, debut anniversary celebrated forever after. Pre-debut content (trainee clips, survival show footage) becomes instantly more valuable the second a debut drops.

"Their debut anniversary is next week, the fandom is planning streaming parties."
