QWER () is a rock and anime song style girl band under Tamago Production. They stated that they were inspired by Japanese idol-themed manga such as Oshi no Ko, Bocchi the Rock! and musical groups such as Yoasobi. They debuted on October 18, 2023, with the single album Harmony from Discord.
Name The group's English name is derived from QWERTY, the first six keys on the top row of letters on Latin-script alphabet keyboards. Q, W, E, and R are also the primary keys used in online games such as League of Legends. The fandom's name 바위게 (Rift Scuttler) is also a reference to the multiplayer video game.
Career Formation The group was formed through the "QWER Project", a YouTube series aiming to create a girl group composed of female online personalities. The project was launched by Tamago Production, a company started by the YouTuber and web content creator Kim Gye-ran in collaboration with 3Y Corporation. "QWER Project" followed the four members' incorporation into the group, their training, and their daily lives.
QWER's actual management and production were jointly handled by 3Y Corporation and Prism Filter Music Group. 3Y Corporation is in charge of management tasks such as content making, schedule management, and marketing, and Prism Filter Music Group was in charge of all music-related tasks, such as members' lessons and training, album work, and concerts. On October 29, 2025, the joint production contract between 3Y Corporation and Prism Filter Music Group was terminated. From that point on, the management and support of all QWER activities were handled by Tamago Production and 3Y Corporation. It was announced that Producer Lee Dong-hyeok, who was in charge of the existing music production of 'QWER', will continue to be in charge of producing 'QWER' regardless of the termination of the co-production contract.
Prior to joining the band, each member already had established careers. Chodan and Magenta were active streamers on Twitch, Hina was a popular content creator and cosplayer on TikTok with 4 million followers, and Siyeon was a former member of the Japanese idol group NMB48. At the project's launch on July 2, 2023, Magenta and Hina began formally learning their assigned instruments (bass and guitar). Magenta had about three months of self-taught experience on the bass. Meanwhile, Hina had a musical background in music production and applied music through her college entrance preparations, although she was new to the electric guitar at the time.
