COVID-19 pandemic impacts[]
As the girl group debuted in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country, as well as the network's shutdown, BINI was initially restricted from performing in large-scale live events, which were initially only allowed in a time the group was yet to debut.
However, when restrictions eased up in March 2022, BINI made their live event debut in the PPOPCON 2022, held in the following month, which was also the first for most P-Pop groups since a majority of them debuted during the pandemic years.
