With fresh faces and a burning passion for performing, HORI7ON is a rising pop group from the Philippines that is quickly gaining attention in the music industry.

Can HORI7ON Rise to the Heights of BTS?
Penetrating worldwide success like BTS can be incredibly challenging. It requires a combination of various factors such as talent, hard work, perseverance, and luck. The entertainment industry is highly competitive, and breaking through the global market is even more difficult.
To achieve the level of success that BTS has, it took years of consistent effort and dedication, with the members of the group undergoing rigorous training and performing at various events before debuting. Additionally, BTS’s success can also be attributed to their unique music style, relatable lyrics, and strong social media presence, which resonated with a diverse global audience.
