debut
A K-pop trainee's official first release as an idol — the moment they're no longer in training.
Definitions
In K-pop, the official first release and stage performance of an idol or group. It's treated like a coronation — debut showcase, debut MV, debut stage on a music show, debut anniversary celebrated forever after. Pre-debut content (trainee clips, survival show footage) becomes instantly more valuable the second a debut drops.
As a verb: to officially launch as an idol or group with that first release.
