TREASURE’s debut was long-awaited. Though YG Treasure Box, the reality competition show that formed the group, completed airing in January 2019, it wasn’t until more than a year later that the act officially debuted. Thankfully, the pre-debut variety series Treasure Map—which captured everything from light-hearted games to a heartwarming surprise for one member’s high school graduation—offered a way for fans to follow the lives of the 12 members in the meantime. In August 2020, the ensemble from YG Entertainment (home to BLACKPINK) debuted with the title track, “Boy.” In each of TREASURE’s first three single albums, the group paired a hard-hitting lead single with a laid-back second track, showcasing its versatility. These releases led up to TREASURE’s first studio album, The First Step: Treasure Effect, which dropped on Jan. 11. Perhaps most exciting is the inclusion of the act’s pre-debut song “Going Crazy.” Both that song and the latest title track, “My Treasure,” feature dynamic melodies that highlight the members’ rich and varied vocal colors—a true strength of the group.
