K-pop girl group fromis_9 are currently gearing up to release new music, their label Pledis Entertainment has confirmed.
Pledis Entertainment announced that fromis_9 are working on new music in a statement to South Korean news outlet Newsen earlier today (May 13), where the label also outlines a number of the girl group’s upcoming performances and activities.
“Love calls from festivals are flooding in for fromis_9,” Pledis Entertainment said. They are set to appear at the Dongyang Mirae University Festival (May 17) and the Spring Breeze on Campus at the Kyunghee University Peace Hall (May 18), followed by the ‘KBS Korea On Stage’ event at the Gyeongbokgung Palace (May 21).
Beyond that, the K-pop agency also revealed that the girl group are currently “preparing for a comeback” and that it is “are proceeding without a hitch”. It added: “This year, we plan to showcase not only music but also a variety of activities, including a special photo exhibition. We plan to provide the necessary support for this.”
Pledis Entertainment’s statement comes shortly after fromis_9 member Chaeyoung shared her frustration over the girl group’s lack of music releases during a recent livestream, where she asked: “Why are we the only ones who have to wait a long time to be active?”
fromis_9’s last release was the single ‘Love Me Back’ in October 2023, as part of the soundtrack for the webcomic Operation: True Love. Prior to that, the girl group dropped their first studio album ‘Unlock My World’ in June 2023, featuring the title track #menow.
The record also included the track ‘Attitude’, which was named by NME as one of the best K-pop songs in 2023. ‘Unlock My World’ was notably fromis_9’s first release as an eight-member group, following the departure of member Jang Gyu-ri in late July 2022.
