        If you love keeping up with new K-Pop artists, the K-Drama world has a brand new K-Band for your consideration! We're talking about none other than "First Love Memory Manipulators", later known as "Watermelon Sugar" from the ongoing youth/slice-of-life/rom-com drama "Twinkling Watermelon".

        Starring RyeoUn, Choi HyunWook, Seor InA, and Shin EunSoo in the leading roles, this K-Drama tells the story of Ha EunGyeol (played by RyeoUn), a CODA (Child Of Deaf Adult) youth with a gift for music, who faces opposition from his father in his dream of making music. After a heated argument with his father, he unexpectedly finds himself transported back in time to 1995, when his parents were still high school students.

        EunGyeol always knew that his parents were born deaf, but suddenly encountering a younger version of his father - Ha YiChan (played by Choi HyunWook), who could not only hear and speak but also enjoyed making music like him, EunGyeol realizes that he must prevent his father from losing his hearing. One thing leads to another, and the two form a band called "First Love Memory Manipulators".

        Now, if you're new to the K-Entertainment world, this band name may sound quite strange to you. Let us explain. "First Love Memory Manipulator" is a famous term used by Korean netizens to refer to people who make them forget about their real first love and take their place instead. As it is so commonly used and has been for a long time now, the band name "First Love Memory Manipulators" is rather familiar, albeit a bit cheesy. At the same time, it is also an allusion to the drama itself!

        Ha EunGyeol's time travel, his interference in the past, and his presence alone change the future, manipulating the memories of our characters in the present. This eventually leads to the return of a first love who was never supposed to come back. As the butterfly effect comes into play, the memories of first love are naturally manipulated.

        Now, that that's out of the way, let's talk about the members of this band! Here are the members of First Love Memory Manipulators or Watermelon Sugar from "Twinkling Watermelon" and the talented actors who play them!
