The four members of K-pop girl group Rocking Doll have had a busy few weeks.

They’ve travelled between South Korea, Thailand, Italy and the United States, attending various events, filming content, doing photoshoots and appearing on television, all while releasing new music in the lead up to their first album, the English-language Survive.

It might sound like Rocking Doll is one of the most in-demand K-pop acts around, but that’s not the case. The quartet only debuted in December 2021, under a small label, SRP Entertainment, and their whirlwind promotional tour is not the result of their popularity but an attempt to build it.

“Being able to do this all is really thrilling,” says 16-year-old Rena, the youngest member of the group, during an interview with the Post in New York, where the group attended LaQuan Smith’s New York Fashion Week show on September 12.

Ahri, Juri and 20-year-old Roa, the eldest, round out the group, which came together under SRP only about a year before they released their first single, “Rocking Doll”.
