About R.U.L.E.
We are R.U.L.E.

Our goal is to entertain the audience and inspire them to follow their dreams while gaining recognition for the group.
Our rehearsal includes times of seriousness, stressfulness, but at the same time having fun. The good thing about R.U.L.E. is whether we are practicing or hanging out or maybe doing film projects, we want to have this opportunity to get together and show our love and respect as part of the family. We want to make sure everybody is learning and having a good time.
