TUIDE Saki Profile | The Dancer from Japan Celebrating Her First Birthday Since Debut on October 9

Saki is the first member of TUIDE mentioned when it comes to dancing. Hailing from Japan, she shared that she had dreamed of debuting in South Korea since she was young. Born on October 9, 2010, her first birthday since debut falls right during the music show promotions for their B-side track "Echo".

Saki at a Glance

She was born first among the group's three youngest members. Just two days later, on October 11, comes the birthday of the eldest member, Seohee.

A Japanese Member Who Dreamed of Debuting in Korea

At the debut showcase, Saki's statement of determination was brief: "Ever since I was young, I dreamed of debuting in Korea. Please look forward to great performances." Among the seven members, Saki is the only Japanese national.

The response in Japan was felt right from the start. "SUN KISS" entered Line Music's Top 100 without an official Japanese release and reached No. 8 on Billboard Japan's Heatseekers Songs chart. The album also charted on the Oricon Weekly Album Chart. As of October 7, no official Japanese promotions have been announced.

Choreography Driven by Freestyle

Rather than knife-sharp synchronized choreography where every move is matched down to the millimeter, TUIDE's routines leave room for individual groove and personal style. In an interview around their debut, Saki explained, "There is a lot of freestyle choreography, which reflects the gestures and expressions the members naturally use." Because the set framework is relaxed, it is a setup that puts raw dancing skills directly on display.

This explains why short video clips focusing solely on Saki's dancing from their STUDIO CHOOM appearance racked up hundreds of thousands of views right after debut. When she appeared on a YouTube variety show, clips of her individual talents spread rapidly across social media, revealing her quirky, playful side offstage.

Hopes Shared in the ELLE Interview

In the cover interview for the September issue of ELLE, Saki shared what she hopes listeners take away: "I hope you can feel our energy. Nothing would make me happier than if you naturally started moving your body the moment you hear the song." As of September 4, the combined count of TikTok videos using "SUN KISS" and "GRLS" surpassed 160,000.
