BIOGRAPHY

A:SIDE was a four member group under APLAN International, based in Thailand and presented as an international line up with Thai, Japanese and Chinese members. The group debuted on 10 May 2025 with the single FISH SAUCE.

The members were Winnie, Minlee, Ruka and U.Jay. Minlee, Min Thanakorn Wichanukhor, also works as an actor and holds a profile of his own in this catalogue.

The fandom name was B:SIDE. The company concluded the group’s activities in December 2025.

A:SIDE followed its 10 May 2025 debut with a busy first year. The group appeared on the main stage at Nippon Haku Bangkok 2025 on 31 August 2025 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre, a free admission slot that placed the multinational line up in front of a Japanese culture festival audience in Bangkok.

A second single, SATURDAY, arrived in October 2025 and moved the group towards pop rock, with a night out narrative and a twist ending in the music video, choreographed by a 1MILLION Dance Studio choreographer. The members described the track as a deliberate step away from the debut, calling for strength and poise in equal measure. Group activities concluded in December 2025, and the four members have continued with individual work.

GROUP DETAILS

A:SIDE worked in T-Pop with a multinational line up, which is less common among the Thai acts in this catalogue. Its run was short, from May to December 2025, and the members have continued individually since. The company presented the group as a global act with Thai, Japanese and Chinese members, and gave it a fandom name, B:SIDE, built as the flip side of the group’s own.

FUN FACTS

  • A:SIDE is a multinational line up: Winnie and Minlee are Thai, Ruka is Japanese and U.Jay is Chinese.
  • The group presents itself as A-POP rather than only T-pop, writing in Thai and English so the songs travel across Asia, with an “Asia modern Y2K” look.
  • Debut single FISH SAUCE uses the idea of a scent that cannot be mistaken for anything else, a fragrance meant to wake listeners up, over pop and old school hip hop.
  • Choreography for the debut was created by the viral choreographer YUMEKI.
  • Before debuting the members were presented to the public as APLAN’s rookie trainees.
  • The debut showcase was held on 10 May 2025 and streamed live on the group’s own YouTube channel.
