Q & A::
Q: Can you tell us about your team name?
A: They can up with the name first and decided to put a meaning to it. For them, it stands for Out of office. They like the visual aspect of it, and it also stands for “Oh” in English.
Q: How did you become a band?
A: Sunghyun and Yongho were playing in their room and naturally the feeling of wanted to play outside to the public came along.
