Open Kids is a Ukrainian pop group consisting of 5 girls from both Ukraine and Russia.
History[edit]
The band officially formed on October 11, 2012, with the release of their first music video titled "Show Girls". Prior to this, the group trained together in the studio, initially without Annika Kozensky. Viktoria Vernik, Angelina Romanovska, Lera Didkovska, Yulia Gamaily, and Anna Bobrovska debuted on October 11, 2012, marking the formation of the first girl group of Open Art Dance Studio. Despite mainly living in the United States at that time, Annika Kozensky continued to be seen training with the members of Open Kids throughout the years.
On June 25, 2014, the group hosted a presentation event for their new music video "На Десерт" ("For Dessert") at City Beach Club in Kyiv, Ukraine. The video was filmed in Germany.
In early November 2015, it was announced that Vika Vernik left Open Kids to move to the United States, and in the same month, the group began casting for a fifth member.
In early December 2015, the band made their stage debut at the Caribbean Club in Kyiv.
In February 2016, Open Kids released their first love song, "Кажется" ("It Seems").
In October 2020, members of Open Kids announced via IGTV that they would no longer continue as a group. Shortly after, producers released information about casting for new members.
In 2021, a new lineup replaced the original one.
