2024 Guide to Big Ocean- the first kpop group with all deaf/hoh members

[@StayPado]

Something I didn't mention in the guide, although all members use hearing aids/cochlear implants this does not give them 100% hearing. The members use a mixture of sound, lip reading, and Sign language to communicate.

I randomly found their song "Slow" on KZbin and loved it instantly.They are very talented and ...brave! I give them my full support from France.

Thank you for this. I have followed these lovely, talented young men since their pre debut days. They are impressive (and so cute)!🫶💙🌊💙

[@StayPado]

Thank you 🤟❤️. I'm so excited to see how much they grow 💖

[@dominoeharlee4454]

I love everything about this, thank you for making a guide! I started following them awhile back when I first heard their song "GLOW". It was really good and I was intrigued by how fun and charming the members are. As someone who also has an invisible disability, it's really inspiring to see representation in this way. I'll keep rooting for them!!

Becasue they have difficulty in hearing, in other words, they can hear the music differently from what we hearings hear, in other words, the sound they create for us to hear is very Big Ocean and differenct from sound and music created by us hearings, in other words, they have their own Kindom and they are now kind enought to invite us there. 大学の寄宿舎で同室だった友達が、いつも私とはまたく違う色を使って絵を描いていた。彼女の絵は私の凡庸な絵とはことなり、独創性に溢れていた。その後、彼女が色盲だと知った。今も手元にある彼女の絵は、私の心を揺さぶる。

[@Accal1a]

Wonderful idea! Can't wait to watch.

[@weveBINtotheMOON]

Got to know them from their chk chk boom challenge with Felix and I love their songs! They're not the typical kpop so they feel a bit refreshing. You said Chanyeon, Hyunjin and Jiseok are the starting 3 and auditions are being held, do you know if there's a final amount they're aiming for? Like are they searching for x amount more members? Or are they just seeing whoever will fit and however many they are? Because I just assumed they were a trio and would stay a trio And lastly, who's your bias? :)

[@StayPado]

@@weveBINtotheMOON they posted on their official accounts a while back that they were auditioning to potentially expand the group- no specific details were given on numbers but originally Big Ocean had 7 trainees (if my memory is correct). They were opening auditions internationally this time and people could audition with dance or Sign language performances. No news yet on whether they will expand the group or not but I put starting 3 just to be safe in case they do 😁. I love their versatility too! All 4 of their songs this year have had different styles and vibes. I'm ot3 😊

[@GuardianDiancie]
