We want to hold that kind of special meaning to the public. Our logo is designed like a password box with five stars, representing the five of us.” Initially, Secret Number was scheduled to debut on March 26th, 2020. However, due to the worsening situation of the spread of COVID-19, Vine Entertainment felt that the time was not right and decided to postpone it. This decision was announced on Instagram @vineent_official, in Korean, Indonesian, English, and Japanese. After the delay and much anticipation from fans, the group finally debuted on May 19th, 2020, with the release of a single album titled Who Dis?
