M.PEROR Members Profile and Facts
M.PEROR (엠페로) was a South Korean boy group under FM Entertainment (also known as Free Star and Fly Music Entertainment at the time), with its latest lineup consisting of 5 members: Kangon, Minwoo, Taeha, d.Kash, and Zach. The group was first introduced in May 2011 with 6 members: Kangon, d.Kash, Eunchan, Taeha, Chanran, and Hanyoung. In June, Minwoo replaced Hanyoung, and the group officially debuted on June 17, 2011, with the single “Lies”. However, the song was not officially released until 2022. On October 7, 2011, they made a comeback with the single “What Are You”, marking their first official release. By this time, the lineup had changed to Kangon, Minwoo, Taeha, d.Kash, Zach, and Jaerim. Since “What Are You” was their first officially released song, some sources consider it their official debut. The group went on indefinite hiatus in 2012 and was presumed to have disbanded and left the company by 2015. In late 2021, they reunited as 5 members to celebrate their 11th anniversary, and made a comeback on January 4, 2022, with the special EP Roundabout.
Group Name Meaning: It stands for emperor, signifying their ambition to become the emperors of the music industry.
