BRAVE GIRLS just announced their new group name. Minyoung, Yujeong, Eunji, and Yuna will continue to promote as a unit under a new name with their new agency.
Warner Music Korea Confirms BRAVE GIRLS’ New Group Name
The girl group’s new agency Warner Music Korea confirmed the news after reports surfaced regarding the name change.
“Brave Girls will continue their activities and change their team name to BB GIRLS,” the agency said in a statement.
There is an important reason for the name change. The idols’ former agency Brave Entertainment still owns the trademark rights to BRAVE GIRLS. Since the members have signed with a new label, they will not be able to promote under the original name.
BB GIRLS debuted in April 2011 with the single album ‘The Difference’. The group has undergone numerous line-up changes before settling on the four current members. In 2021, they gained a huge spike in popularity after their 2017 hit “Rollin’” went viral.
In February 2023, Minyoung, Yujeong, Eunji, and Yuna decided not to renew their exclusive contracts with Brave Entertainment. The agency then announced that the group has officially disbanded.
By April 2023, the four members of BRAVE GIRLS signed with Warner Music Korea. The group’s original leader Minyoung hyped up their return with new music.
“We are preparing with the aim of greeting [fans] in the soon-approaching 2023 summer, and we will greet everyone with even better music and new sides of us. I am so grateful to the many fans who were sad and waited for news of us following the report of our disbandment,” she wrote.
Warner Music Korea has not yet shared details about BB GIRLS’ next comeback, or debut under the new name. However, Minyoung already teased that the GIRLS will be back with new music this summer. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
