**CLKWRK** (*Hangul:* 글록웨륵 *Katakana*:クーロークわーるーく) is a 6-member multinational girl group under EXP Entertainment. They debuted on July 17, 2021 with their self-titled mini album "CLKWRK: the first mini album". The group is split up into two subunits: **OUR** and **minute**.

## History

### 2021: Predebut

File:Minute Promo.pngCLKWRK was announced on July 4, 2021 through EXP Entertainment's Twitter. The first promo picture was of 3 members in a dark red silhouette with the caption, "We'll be there any OUR.". The second promo picture was posted an hour later and was another photo of 3 members, this time in a blue silhouette and the caption, "ONLY TAKES A minute.". CLKWRK's official Twitter was launched the same day.

### 2021 Continued: Debut

CLKWRK debuted on July 17, 2021, with their first mini album CLKWRK: the first mini album, releasing the music video for the title track Wake on the same day. They had their first music show performance on the same day as well. They had their first VLive on July 19, where they revealed their fandom name, **scnd**, and colors. Once promotions for Wake had ended, the group started a vlog series that was posted every other week on their YouTube channel called Keeping Time. It shares a lot of similarities with their labelmate Life5's vlog series, the only difference being it's posted every other week instead of every week.

### 2022: First comeback with Main Wheel, *Get the Crown,* second comeback with THE A.M, third comeback with THE P.M.

CLKWRK's comeback came along very similar to how Life5's first comeback did; while updating the fans with their vlog series, there hadn't been any news of a comeback from them for about nine months. However, once promotions ended for One Foot in Front of the Other for Life5 on April 9, 2022, a teaser was posted on EXP Entertainment's official Twitter, reading "The clock has only just now started ticking - would it hurt to let it keep going?" and a translation in Korean, with the background depicting a gear and CLKWRK's logo at the bottom. On April 10, teaser photos of each member of the subunit OUR in the OUR and OT6 concepts were posted. On April 11, teaser photos of each minute member in minute and OT6 concepts were posted. On April 12, the OT3 and OT6 concept photos were posted as well as the first MV teaser, followed on the 13th by the tracklist and second MV teaser. On the 14th, the highlight medley was posted. Then, on the 15th, Main Wheel was released alongside the music video for the single. During the promotions, the group appeared on many different music shows, being nominated on *THE CORE* on April 21, on *The Gold* on April 25th, and placing fourth on *Music Rank* on April 23. They received their first and second wins on *Tune In!* on April 20 and April 24 respectively.

On April 29, the group was revealed to be participating in the survival show *Get the Crown*. May 6 marked the last day of Main Wheel promotions, allowing the girls to fully devote their time to practicing for *Get the Crown*.

In early July, *Get The Crown* was put on hiatus due to a controversy with one of the groups participating. Thankfully, that did not mess with CLKWRK's schedule as they were already preparing for a comeback since a lot of the pre-recording for GTC was completed. GTC would eventually get cancelled. Thankfully, July would be a positive month for CLKWRK as it was announced they would be having another comeback on the 22nd with THE A.M..

In October 2022, it was announced they would be coming back again, releasing the parallel mini album THE P.M..

In December, they released the special single "'twas the Night before christmas" alongside other EXP artists' special singles for the holiday season.

## Structure of the Group

CLKWRK is split up into two subunits with three members in each. Each subunit also has a list of concepts that they represent. Every comeback combines two of these concepts and adds a sprinkle of the group's overall concept, steampunk.

## Trivia

* The name CLKWRK comes from the word "clockwork", since their concept and lore references steampunk and especially clocks quite often. Another meaning, discovered by the girls, is that they will be there twenty-four seven, three sixty-five for their fans, like clockwork.
* Two of the members, Sun and Tsuya, were previous Honeycomb Entertainment trainees.
* All of the members live in the same dorm. Their labelmate Life5's dorm is right across from theirs.
	+ Soomin and Hyesoo are roommates, Sun and Tsuya are roommates, and Talia and Aoide are roommates.
* CLKWRK is said to be notably more chaotic than their labelmate Life5.
