Dance-pop male group Offroad has released their first single titled "Bebop," an uptempo, bright dance track.

Declaring the era of the "2.5 generation idol," Offroad will serve as the stepping stone to the third generation idols, just like G.O.D was the stepping stone from first generation groups like S.E.S and H.O.T to second generation idol groups like Big Bang, 2PM, SNSD, and KARA.

Offroad consists of five members: GI, Kino, Si Hwan, Rio, and Seung Hun, and they intend to release this song to express a more free-spirited style, hence the name "Bebop," which refers to the style of playing swing jazz. With both electronic and acoustic elements, the track is livened up with the addition of funky rhythms and brass intruments, leading to a sophisticated feel.

Have a listen below! Don't forget, you can purchase the single on sites like Bugs, Olleh, or Melon.

Do you agree with the "2.5 generation idol" era?

That's a bold way to introduce your group. And I thought we were in the third idol generation already.

Cute, haha. Not a fan of the vocals but at least it's a pretty distinctive sound/not some generic dance track.

you can't just DECIDE to be a new generation, these things are decided FOR you by the pop culture machine, AFTER you've had your run. Hindsight, you know?? Aish...

Wasn't SHINee in the boundary between 2nd and 3rd gens. They debuted 4 years ago. LOL at this group deciding they'll be that.

Generic dance pop with a pinch of jazz. Not enough to differentiate.
