5 fromis_9 Members Find New Agency
On January 26, the newly established agency shared an official statement announcing that the five talented idols would be joining their roster.
“It must have taken a lot of thought and courage for the artists to decide to continue their team activities,” the statement read. “We at ASND are sincerely grateful to the artists for their great courage and for choosing to walk this journey with us, and we promise to provide unwavering support and encouragement so that they can pursue their dreams going forward.”
The agency also addressed the possibility of the idols taking on a new group name.
“Regarding the use of the team name, we are still in discussions with the previous agency, and we are preparing for more diverse and meaningful activities in 2025,” they said in the statement. “In addition to showcasing the artists’ musical passion and growth through album promotions, we are also planning the group’s concert to connect with fans.”
fromis_9, originally formed through the survival program “Idol School”, debuted in 2018 and gained a devoted following for their catchy music and charm. In 2021, the group transitioned to PLEDIS Entertainment, where they continued their success. However, in November 2024, PLEDIS Entertainment announced that all nine members would be leaving the agency following the expiration of their contracts on December 31.
Earlier this month, there were reports that members have signed with Big Planet Made. However, the label was quick to dispel the rumors with a brief statement.
The move to ASND marks a fresh chapter for Hayoung, Jiwon, Nagyung, Chaeyoung, and Jiheon as they embark on new opportunities in their careers. Stay tuned for updates on their future activities!
