Brave Entertainment to Debut New Four-Member Girl Group This Year

Brave Entertainment is gearing up to debut a four-member girl group. This marks its first new act since Brave Girls debuted in 2011. Earlier this month, the agency announced that this group will put out an album in the first half of 2024. Brave Brothers will lead the production, supported by Brave Entertainment’s team of producers. This talented team once made K-pop history with Brave Girls’ reverse-run syndrome, setting high expectations for the new girl group they’re putting together.

The “reverse-run syndrome” experienced by Brave Girls refers to the unexpected resurgence in popularity of their 2017 song “Rollin’.” This phenomenon occurred several years after the song’s initial release and dramatically revived the South Korean girl group’s career. The catalyst for this resurgence was a fan-made compilation video that went viral in early 2021. It led to a significant increase in streaming and digital downloads of “Rollin’,” propelling the song to the top of major South Korean music charts. Following the expiration of their contracts, Brave Girls moved to Warner Music Korea, rebranding as BB Girls.
