They held a joint Musha Shugyo in Thailand from August 2022 to January 2023 with BALLISTIK BOYZ, resulting in a reality show. They participated in the live tour THE SURVIVAL 2022 and released four songs digitally before their album's physical release. Their first activity in Thailand was performing at "NIPPON HAKU BANGKOK 2022" in September. The group's official fan club was opened on November 1, and they received the "Next Generation Global Award" at the 2022 Genie Music Awards in South Korea on November 8.

III. Trivia:
All members of PSYCHIC FEVER were students of EXPG before their debut. They were the first LDH group to tour all 47 prefectures in Japan as part of their Musha Shugyo. Unlike other EXILE TRIBE groups, they are not signed to the record label rhythm zone. The members' roles in the group are fluid, allowing for different main vocalists for each song to create a variety of sounds. The group's name combines "PSYCHIC" (a super power) and "FEVER" (heat), symbolizing the idea of creating a powerful chemical reaction through their performances.
Their fandom is named "ForEVER," reflecting their gratitude for their fans' support and their commitment to journeying together in the future. This name was chosen on June 13, 2023, during a live broadcast. The ForEVER logo combines PSYCHIC FEVER's group logo with a mirrored version to form an infinity symbol, representing the idea of walking together forever. The fandom name is also inspired by their song "ForEVER," dedicated to their fans.
The group launched their own apparel brand, P.C.F APPAREL DEPARTMENT, on June 10, 2023. PSYCHIC FEVER maintains close communication with their music production team and staff.
