SEOUL -- Instead of being shy, SECRET NUMBER revealed ambitions to wrest the Rookie of the Year award as the rookie five-member multi-national girl band made its debut with the first single album "Who Dis?"

The band under Vine Entertainment begins official activities at 6:00 p.m. on May 19. Based on their fluent foreign language and versatile talents, SECRET NUMBER members hope to build a fan base beyond South Korea.

The members are Ogawa Mizuki, a Japanese member better known as her stage name Lea, Dita Karang (Dita), the group's main dancer from Indonesia, Jinny Park (Jinny), a Korean-American rapper, Lee Soo-dam (Soodam) from South Korea, and Denise Kim (Denise), the Korean-American main vocalist.

"Since the special charm of members is a global team, they were born and raised in different places and have different cultures, but they will be able to create synergy," Lea said in a showcase event, adding that members can show many talents such as makeup, exercise, dance and cooking, she said. "We will show a variety of charms," she said, disclosing her dream of receiving the Rookie of the Year award.

Denise was more ambitious saying she wants to be on the Grammy stage. "I've always watched the Grammys since I was young, so I want to be on the Grammy stage someday."

The debut single contains the confident charm of members who want to live in a unique way in their own style. The title track of the same name is a collaboration between Melanie Fontana, who composed BTS' "Boy With Luv," Michel "Lindgren" Schulz, the husband of Fontana, and local composer Shark.
