Former FIFTY FIFTY members Aran, Saena, and Sio are making a highly anticipated comeback as part of a new girl group called ablume.
Sio, Aran, and Saena to Redebut as ablume
On October 15, MASSIVE E&C, a label under NS ENM (formerly IOK Company), officially introduced ablume and launched the group’s social media platforms. This new group features the three former FIFTY FIFTY members, who signed with the label in August, marking a fresh chapter in their careers.
The name “ablume” is inspired by the German word for flower (blume), symbolizing growth and the journey of blooming. According to the group’s Instagram, “ablume” also represents how each member—Aran, Saena, and Sio—unfolds their creative potential, discovering and embracing their unique talents. These individual “colors” blend together to create the diverse and vibrant music that will define the group’s identity.
MASSIVE E&C’s CEO, Hwang Choi Han Cho, also expressed excitement over the trio’s new beginning, stating, “As Aran, Saena, and Sio reunite in this new group, we expect to showcase more diverse aspects of their talents. We are committed to providing opportunities for ablume to connect with both domestic and international fans.”
In related news, FIFTY FIFTY’s agency, ATTRAKT, previously announced plans to take legal action against Warner Music Korea following revelations of secret meetings with the group’s former members and alleged tampering. Back in September, Dispatch also released exclusive audio recordings featuring conversations between Ahn Sung Il, CEO of The Givers, and Jin Seung Young, CFO of Warner Music Korea, during meetings with FIFTY FIFTY’s former members and their parents.
Despite the legal setbacks that continue to connect Sio, Aran, and Saena to FIFTY FIFTY, fans are now eager to see what ablume will bring to the K-pop scene, with anticipation building around the group’s future activities and music releases.
