Multinational group
ARrC is a seven-member boy group and MYSTIC STORY’s first boy group. The lineup includes members from South Korea, Japan, the US, Vietnam, and Brazil. The group name stands for “Always Remember the real Connection.”
Since their debut with ‘AR^C,’ ARrC continued to build momentum with subsequent releases, as ‘nu kidz: out the box’ entered charts and ‘HOPE’ achieved the group’s highest album sales to date.
The group has also expanded its visibility through brand collaborations, TV appearances in Indonesia, and KIEN’s beauty ambassadorship in Vietnam.
