HYBE Launches New Label ABD For Girl Group That Will Debut This Year

HYBE has established a brand-new label and is planning to debut a new girl group this year!

On May 8, HYBE announced that it was launching a new label called “ABD” specializing in the production of girl groups.

“ABD,” which stands for “A Bold Dream,” represents the “pursuit of a creative approach characterized by a flexible and lighthearted way of thinking that imagines ‘D,’ rather than ‘C,’ coming after ‘A’ and ‘B.’”

The label will be headed by CEO No Ji Won, who previously served as the Head of Artist Planning at PLEDIS Entertainment.

“ABD was established as part of HYBE’s multi-label strategy, which strengthens each label’s expertise and autonomy,” stated HYBE. “With an organization and creative team tailored for girl group production at its center, [ABD] will position itself as a label specializing in girl groups with unique and distinctive intellectual property (IP). Our goal is to expand into a new territory for K-pop by pursuing the inherent joy of music while also building upon a deep understanding of fans and artists.”

ABD will debut its first girl group in the second half of 2026. Han Sung Soo, who is known for producing groups like SEVENTEEN, After School, IZ*ONE, and TWS, will serve as the group’s executive producer and oversee their music, concept, and performances.

“The establishment of ABD is a strategic move to secure IP diversity and upgrade our K-pop production capabilities,” sad HYBE. “Through this new girl group, we will introduce new musical experiments and concepts, and we will bring a refreshing change to the global music market.”

Stay tuned for more information about ABD and its upcoming girl group!

Watch: YG Teases New Boy Group; Reveals New Girl Group Member + Plans For BABYMONSTER And TREASURE

YG Entertainment has revealed some of its plans for the months ahead—along with the third member of its upcoming girl group!

On April 30 at midnight KST, YG Entertainment released an announcement video in which founder Yang Hyun Suk spoke about what the agency has coming up.

With BABYMONSTER gearing up to make a comeback on May 4, Yang Hyun Suk went through each track on their upcoming mini album “CHOOM” and shared what fans can expect from each song.

Yang Hyun Suk also revealed that “CHOOM” was originally supposed to have two title tracks, but YG Entertainment had decided not to include the second title track on the mini album. Instead, the song will be released separately as a single in early June, along with an accompanying music video.

BABYMONSTER will also be releasing music videos for two of their B-sides from “CHOOM.” The music video for “I LIKE IT” will drop in July, while the music video for “MOON” will drop in early August.

Next, Yang Hyun Suk announced that TREASURE will make their comeback with a new mini album on June 1.

Last month, YG Entertainment revealed its plans to debut a new boy group this fall, and Yang Hyun Suk has now shared that the group has five members. He also stated that the agency is currently planning to launch the new group in September.

Finally, the announcement video ends by introducing the third member of YG Entertainment’s upcoming girl group, which is currently going by the project name “NEXT MONSTER.” Kayci, who is 13 years old, has trained at the company for one year and six months.

Kayci’s profile and cover of Adele’s “When We Were Young” can be found at the end of the video.

TWICE has made K-pop history with the North American leg of their ongoing “THIS IS FOR” world tour!

On April 18, TWICE successfully wrapped up their “THIS IS FOR” tour of North America, which included 35 shows in 20 different cities across the continent. Although the group was originally scheduled to perform just 22 shows in North America, a significant number of shows were added due to demand.

Over the course of their tour, TWICE drew approximately 550,000 concertgoers in North America, setting a new record for the highest North American attendance ever achieved by a K-pop girl group.

After breaking records in North America, TWICE will next be making history in Japan, where they will become the first foreign artist ever to hold a concert of their own at the Japan National Stadium in Tokyo. The group will be performing three shows at the Japan National Stadium starting on April 25.

Congratulations to TWICE on their historic achievements!
