TripleS (stylized as tripleS; /ˈtɹɪpəl:ɛs/; Korean: 트리플에스; RR: Teulipeul-eseu; Japanese: トリプルS, romanized: Toripuru S) is a South Korean girl group formed by MODHAUS. The group was introduced to the public through a pre-debut project that began in May 2022, where each of the 24 members were revealed periodically.
They aim to be the world's first decentralized K-pop idol group. The members will rotate between the group, sub-unit, and solo activities, as chosen by fans as they will be able to participate and communicate with the group such as deciding the sub-units and the content through NFT photo cards called 'Objekts'. The group's concept is the members have the special ability 'S' and that they will join forces and demonstrate their abilities through the 'Dimension' and will be recreated every season with new concepts.[1]
They made their official debut as a group on February 13, 2023 with their extended play (EP) Assemble.
