JYP Entertainment girl group OURBIRTHDAY released a performance video for their pre-debut song “HUNGRY (Side B)” on Wednesday [1].
The release serves as a critical branding step for the group as they build anticipation before their official debut. By showcasing choreography and visual concepts, the label is establishing the group's identity within the competitive K-pop market [2].
The video was uploaded to the official OURBIRTHDAY YouTube channel [1]. It features the group members Cho Hyejin, Baby, and Achiraya, who were previously identified as the first three members of the lineup [2]. The production focuses on a studio performance setting designed to highlight the specific concept of the “HUNGRY (Side B)” track [1].
This promotional strategy follows a trend of gradual member reveals and pre-debut content. The performance video allows the group to engage with a global audience and test the reception of their musical style before a full album or single launch [2].
JYP Entertainment has not released a specific date for the group's full debut, but the current rollout focuses on these high-impact visual assets to secure a fanbase. The “Side B” designation of the track suggests a specific thematic or sonic direction that differs from the group's primary image [1].

The release of a performance video prior to an official debut is a strategic move by JYP Entertainment to create organic momentum. By focusing on a 'Side B' track, the label can experiment with different concepts to see which resonates most with the public, effectively using the pre-debut phase as a market research period to optimize the group's final launch strategy.
