TREASURE (Korean: 트레저, romanized: Teurejeo; Japanese: トレジャー, kanji: Torejā; stylized in all caps), is a South Korean boy group formed by YG Entertainment through survival program "YG Treasure Box (YG보석함)" in 2018. The significant signal song "Going Crazy" (미쳐가네) became a viral song amongst K-pop fans, especially Koreans, for its freshness and charming melody. After an almost 2 year delay, the group made their official debut on August 7th, 2020 with their first single album The First Step: Chapter One . TREASURE consists of twelve members; Choi Hyunsuk, Jihoon, Yoshi, Junkyu, Mashiho, Yoon Jaehyuk, Asahi, Bang Yedam, Doyoung, Haruto, Park Jeongwoo and So Junghwan.

TREASURE's debut concept theme was "THE TREASURE EFFECT", the very beat of the short theme video was arranged and produced by one of leader of the group, Choi Hyunsuk himself. The visualization and the narration tell us the dream to imprint a new step on the K-pop music historyㅡdreaming and reaching the new worldㅡdelivered through the analogy of science discoveries throughtout the history.
