hedonism debuted in 2014 with the single CAT&MOUSE, gaining popularity due to their experimental concept and popular faces in the lineup. they came back later that year with the single I'M A BIG GIRL. after the release of their second single, allegations that they were copying 2ne1 began to rise.

taking advantage of the spotlight these allegations gave them, they came back in may of 2015 with I'VE GOT A CRUSH. the girls got their first win, along with five more, with the song. member leiya was absent from promotions due to bullying allegations. after leiya's return, hedonism simultaneously released a korean and japanese mini-album, with LET'S TALK and BOOMERANG as the respective title tracks.

in 2016, the group came back with their first full album and title tracks IT'S A RED LIGHT and AIRPLANE. both tracks were produced by member sora, and it's a red light got four music show wins. a year later, in 2017, they released the single SUPERHUMAN. the track got little to no promotion, however, and slipped under the radar.

after the failure of superhuman, hedonism released SUPER SONIC, earning them eight music show wins and an increase in fan base, finally settling their fluctuating popularity. later that year they released LIKE A TANK, which wasn't promoted on music shows, but became popular nonetheless, even winning song if the year at mama and charting at number one. member iriya was absent from group promotions for unkown reasons.

with their ever growing popularity, hedonism released SO ICONIC, which still remains as their most popular song today. six months after it's release, hedonism released a mini-album and title track NEXT LVL. fans, however, boycotted this comeback as it was produced entirely by member sora. again, iriya was absent from promotions.

iriya finally returned in 2020 and the group had their first ot5 comeback with INCANTATION, soon after promoted the single STEP BACK. while fans were happy to see iriya back, once again fans boycotted the comeback due to step back's lyrics. hedonism tried again with the release of BAD DRACULA. the song charted decently, but didn't get any 1ins.

irie was well known as a model under edenism's subsidiary soulisms, widely known for being hand picked by valerie as the main face for the company.

soon it was publicly announced she'd be joining the lineup for edenism's newest group project. at first fans were skeptical, but after hedonism's debut fans were excited to see her perform.

at some point during 2018, she went mia. all modelling gigs were cancelled and she was absent from group promotions up until 2020. fans still don't know why.

HELL.      an “estate” belonging to mother. originally a place of love and beauty, it was cursed by delusion.

MOTHER.      a creature. no one knows its origin, but it claims to be godsent. it birthed the whispering children from the shadows. it killed them and nurtured them after their deaths. it's the keeper of hell, but it didn't always have that title.  MOTHER IS PORTRAYED IRIE

GHOST.      ghost was the original keeper of hell before they died at mother's hand. they're neither good nor evil, instead they roam the estate as a protector against delusion.  GHOST IS PORTRAYED BY PARIS.

THE WHISPERING CHILDREN.      the whispering children are the mother's creations, likened to its son and daughter. created from the shadows of hell, they sit and watch and wait in the shadows.

BELIEVER.      believer is the youngest whispering child. he believes in mother's stories and delusions fully.   BELIEVER IS PORTRAYED BY SORA.

REBEL.      rebel is the eldest whispering child. she refuses to believe in mother's stories and delusions, and conspired to her hearts content.   REBEL IS PORTRAYED BY EULA.

PASSER BY.      much like mother, no one knows passer by's origin. it is rumoured throughout hell that ghost summoned passer by. ghost neither confirms or denies this. the whispering children believe passer by will free them from hell. PASSER BY IS PORTRAYED BY MALAYA

THE PRIEST.      the priest is not a priest. he is one of mother's delusions, a human-like creature of deceit, tricks and lies. the whispering children refer to him as the spider, as he often spies in the children by using spiders.

THE MESSIAH.      yet another one of mother's delusions. mother claims one day the messiah will come and beauty and love in hell will be restored. believer believes passer by is the messiah.
