Gather up, K-pop fans! The newest girl group, UNIS, is in town!
Formed through the survival program Universe Ticket, FNF Entertainment is set to launch its newest girl group, UNIS.

On their official social media accounts, UNIS introduced the final lineup through the member profiles. In a series of photos, the eight girls were seen showing off their individual charms as they begin their idol journey.
Although there is no official date yet, UNIS will be making their much-anticipated debut in 2024. According to reports, they’re also set to promote for the next two years and six months.
