THE FIRST STEP. THE SECOND STEP. REBOOT. NEW WAV. TREASURE's release titles already suggest a route through its story. For a newcomer, the challenge is deciding where to enter. Do you follow the first chapter from the beginning, jump to the second full album, or go straight to SHOCK, the digital single dated November 2, 2026 on YG Entertainment's official discography?

You can do any of those things. This guide gives you the connections between them: who the current ten members are, which releases belong together, and which official videos offer a manageable first listen. TREASURE is a boy group from YG Entertainment, with an official debut date of August 7, 2020. Its Korean and Japanese catalogs need a little untangling, but you do not need to finish the whole catalog before enjoying your first song.

Get your bearings before you press play

Begin with two official sources that serve different purposes. YG Entertainment's profile gives the current members and debut date. YGEX, the official Japanese site, adds a perspective on the group's Japanese releases and live activities. Together they help distinguish the artist's history from the date of a particular local edition. YG profile · YGEX profile

That distinction matters when searching for an album. A Korean original, a Japanese-language version, a live release and a special selection can appear close together in a search result. Before comparing track lists, check the full title, version and release type. The dates in our overview below follow YG's Korean-release discography as displayed on its Japanese-language pages; they are not a list of every Japanese edition.

You may also see TREASURE MAKER in official material. YG uses that name for the group's fans, including in its introduction to THE SECOND STEP : CHAPTER ONE. It is useful vocabulary when exploring community posts, although enjoying the public videos does not require learning every fandom abbreviation at once.

Meet the current ten members

The names and birthdays below follow YG's current profile. The linked PR VIDEO introductions are from the debut period and feature small groups, rather than ten separate solo performances. Two of those historical videos also name MASHIHO or BANG YE DAM; those names are not part of the current ten-person roster displayed here. A historical video title and a current member list answer different questions.

With a larger group, try learning names in pairs or threes. Open one introduction, return to a group MV, and look for one familiar face. Then add another member on the next viewing. The goal is to build recognition at a comfortable pace. The profile supplies birthdays; it does not need to become a checklist of personality labels or assumptions about what every member must do in every song.

THE FIRST STEP: a series before a full album

YG dates THE FIRST STEP : CHAPTER ONE, the first single album, to August 7, 2020. BOY is the official video to begin this part of the journey. The sequence continues with CHAPTER TWO on September 18 and CHAPTER THREE on November 6. The first full album, THE FIRST STEP : TREASURE EFFECT, follows on January 11, 2021. Official discography

The full album's track list includes MY TREASURE, BE WITH ME, SLOWMOTION, BOY, COME TO ME, I LOVE YOU, B.L.T (BLING LIKE THIS), MMM, ORANGE and GOING CRAZY, followed by two entries explicitly marked as CD-only versions. That is a useful early lesson in the group's catalog: an album can gather material from preceding single releases, and physical editions can include additional versions.

TREASURE - ‘MY TREASURE’ M/V

Our take: Watch BOY and MY TREASURE together before trying to absorb every early release. They give you two reference points at opposite ends of THE FIRST STEP sequence. Afterward, the full album can become a way to connect those points, rather than a pile of unfamiliar titles.

THE SECOND STEP: a shorter route with JIKJIN

THE SECOND STEP : CHAPTER ONE is listed as the first mini album, released February 15, 2022. Its official page lists JIKJIN, U, DARARI, IT'S OKAY, BFF (Best Friend Forever) and Gonna Be Fine. Its introduction presents the release as another step alongside TREASURE MAKER. Official album page

If you already know JIKJIN or DARARI from somewhere else, this is the place to reconnect the song with its original album setting. Knowing a track before knowing the artist is a perfectly good beginning. Open the album page, locate the title in the sequence, and choose one neighboring track for your next listen. There is no need to pretend you discovered everything in chronological order.

YG lists THE SECOND STEP : CHAPTER TWO, the second mini album, on October 4, 2022. Keep the chapter number in your search: the two releases share a series title but are separate albums. The overview table makes that distinction visible, so you can return to it whenever similar titles start to blur together.

REBOOT: hear the full album around the lead video

The second full album, REBOOT, arrived on July 28, 2023. YG describes it as a new beginning and lists ten songs. Among them are BONA BONA, MOVE (T5), G.O.A.T (RAP Unit) featuring Younghyun Lee, and THE WAY TO (VOCAL Unit). The labels in that official track list give you a reason to explore beyond the main group video. Official album page

For a newcomer, the unit labels are navigation aids. They identify particular entries within the album; they are not separate full-group discographies. Start with BONA BONA, then inspect how those smaller-unit songs are placed among the ten tracks. You can follow the sequence and make your own comparison without assuming that one song summarizes the entire group's range.

Our take: This is a useful point to switch from sampling videos to hearing an album in order. The title REBOOT and the official description both emphasize a beginning, but a beginning can be understood only in relation to what came before. Return briefly to BOY afterward and decide which differences matter most to you.

From PLEASURE to NEW WAV

The official discography lists PLEASURE as a special mini album dated March 7, 2025. Its four songs are YELLOW, SARURU, WHATEVER, WHENEVER and LAST NIGHT. Later that year, LOVE PULSE, the third mini album, arrived on September 1, with EVERYTHING, PARADISE, NOW FOREVER and BETTER THAN ME. PLEASURE · LOVE PULSE

NEW WAV, dated June 1, 2026, is the fourth mini album. YG describes a hip-hop-focused release and lists IF I, ZOOM ZOOM, NALLY-NA (HYUNHAYO) and DANGER. The agency connects the songs through themes including confidence, ambition, energy and attraction. Official album page

If you want a second perspective on the same song, the official channel also offers an IF I dance performance video. The table below links it separately. Comparing an MV with a performance-focused upload can help you decide what to explore next, while keeping the song itself constant.

SHOCK: the current entry point

YG's official page dates SHOCK to November 2, 2026 and classifies it as a digital single. It describes an electronic hip-hop track, and the credits explicitly state that it contains an interpolation of Hot by 1TYM. That is an attributed release credit, rather than a claim that we independently identified a sample by ear. Official single page

For a short route, pair SHOCK with IF I. For a longer route, go back to BOY and follow the seven main videos in this guide chronologically. Our SHOCK news guide preserves the dated announcement context. This introduction gives you the larger map around it.

Why leave room for live performance?

The Japanese official profile reports a seven-city, sixteen-show REBOOT tour in Japan in 2024, with 300,000 attendees. It also records the 2025 PULSE ON Japan run across five cities and fifteen shows. These are figures reported by the official Japanese site, not independent attendance audits. They explain why live material is a useful part of an introduction to TREASURE. YGEX profile

You do not have to plan a concert trip to explore that side. Begin with a performance video, then follow the artist's official live notices if you become interested in a particular event. Keep the city and date attached to a live clip: an earlier show is part of the archive, rather than evidence that the same event is happening now.

Quick answers

How many members are there now? YG currently lists ten, shown in the cards above. Is NEW WAV the same release as SHOCK? No: the former is the fourth mini album and the latter is a later digital single. Must I start in 2020? No. Start with the song that brought you here, then use one earlier release to give it context. The chronology is a tool for discovery, not an entrance requirement.
