Biography
tripleS (Korean: 트리플에스; Japanese: トリプルS) is an upcoming 24-member girl group under MODHAUS set to debut in 2023. The group is headed by Jaden Jeong, best known as the former creative director of girl group LOONA, Modhaus’ vision for tripleS involves the creation and subsequent operation of K-pop groups to be community-based, rather than a traditional top-down structure. The members will rotate between the group, units and solos chosen by the fans. They will present a new ‘dimension’ every season with new concepts. The fans will also be able to participate and communicate with the content of the group. They are currently releasing members.
The group is formed by:
The entire tripleS voting process assisted in determining two sub-units – Acid Angel from Asia (AAA), who made their debut on October 28th, 2022 and disbanded on November 21st, 2022 as it is apart of their concept, whereas +(KR)ystal Eyes (KRE), will make their debut on May 4th, 2023. According to Yahoo News, AAA “represents a completely new dance style from the current K-Pop genre”, whereas KRE is meant to deliver a “‘traditional’ K-Pop experience with dynamic sounds and flamboyant style”. At the time of publication, only eight tripleS members have been determined, while the voting period for the remaining 16 spots has yet to commence.
tripleS are the first group in K-pop to utilise blockchain technology as a means to select its members through “leveraging NFT governance”. Fans who were involved in the voting process – dubbed Gravity – used blockchain technology to cast their votes for their favourite members, which Modhaus hopes gives fans more power by being fully interactive with tripleS. tripleS objekts are NFTs but are on the Polygon blockchain which is carbon neutral. C2X NFT operates on the XPLA blockchain which has no sustainability policy at all.
The first voting period ran from September 21 to 25, which saw roughly 8,000 NFT holders cast a total of 4,417 votes for their favourite members. The event also generated a total of 4,728 transactions on Polygon.
In comparison to other conventional K-pop voting systems, Modhaus’ voting system grants fans who have purchased tripleS NFTs the eligibility to cast votes. One NFT generates one voting token (called COMO). During the voting period, 10,774 COMO were used in total.
