Golden Child debuted in August 2017 as the second boy band from Woollim Entertainment since Infinite.
The meaning of the name derives from the English nickname for the special child or favorite child of a family, but the band took it one step further to mean "A perfect child that comes once in a century," who will lead the Korean music scene for the next 100 years to come.
Beaten by tough competition from major boy bands that dominated the late 2010s, Golden Child found success in the Japanese market instead.
The band made its Japanese debut in January 2022 with the single "A WOO!!," landing the title track on the No. 1 spot on Oricon, Billboard Japan and Tower Records' weekly singles chart. The band became the sixth foreign boy group to top the Oricon weekly chart.
The second Japanese single, "RATA-TAT-TAT" was released in June 2022 and sat high on the Oricon weekly singles chart. The third Japanese single, "Invisible Crayon," will be released on April 19.
