Their Story
Imfact (a mixture of I’m fact and Impact) is a five-member group under Star Empire Entertainment, that debuted on January 27, 2016 with their single album ‘Lollipop’.
The group officially debuted on stage, on January 28, 2016 on the music program M Countdown. They held their first fan meeting on June 19, 2016. On August 13, they held a live broadcast on the ‘V App’ to celebrate their 200th day since debut and announced their fan club name, IF.
In 2017 Imfact announced their new project entitled Imfactory to their fans on a launching show on January, 7. Imfactory is a mix of “Imfact Factory and Story”. The project consists of monthly releases, mini fan meetings, and mini-concerts.
On August 24, they were confirmed to be joining KBS Idol Rebooting Project “The Unit”.
I’d say it’s one hundred percent worth to at least check them out.
