VIVIZ Signs With New Agency; May Have To Promote Under New Group Name

VIVIZ’s Eunha, SinB, and Umji have joined a new agency, but they may not be able to continue using the name VIVIZ.

On October 5, UNCORE officially announced, “We have signed an exclusive contract with Eunha, SinB, and Umji. Since debuting in 2015, the three members have been together for a long time and have displayed their unique capabilities through their solid teamwork and a wide variety of activities. We will give them our unsparing support across a variety of areas so that they can continue to be active as a group.”

“We have been negotiating with their previous agency regarding the use of their existing group name, but due to disagreements regarding the proposed terms, we have not yet been able to reach a final agreement,” continued UNCORE. “Because we consider the speedy and stable resumption of the three members’ activities to be our top priority, we are also considering promotions under a new group name.”

After debuting as members of GFRIEND in 2015, Eunha, SinB, and Umji redebuted under Big Planet Made Entertainment as the trio VIVIZ in 2022.

Meanwhile, UNCORE is currently home to the “PROJECT 7” boy group CLOSE YOUR EYES.

Details regarding Eunha, SinB, and Umji’s group name and their concrete plans for resuming activities will be announced at a later date.

Watch: ALLDAY PROJECT Appears On “Amazing Saturday” As Full Group In New Preview

ALLDAY PROJECT is coming to “Amazing Saturday”!

The popular tvN variety show has revealed a sneak peek of next week’s episode, which will feature all five members of ALLDAY PROJECT as guests.

The newly released preview begins with Annie talking about how, back when he was still a trainee, Woochan had said that he wanted to appear on “Amazing Saturday” after they debuted.

Host Boom then reveals that ALLDAY PROJECT will be going up against the “Amazing Saturday” cast in that day’s episode. But in spite of Youngseo’s fierce competitive streak and the ALLDAY PROJECT members’ determination to win, they wind up struggling with the show’s various games.

While Tarzzan cracks everyone up with his antics, Bailey playfully declares that she’s “not good at speaking Korean” in order to gain an advantage during a game.

Finally, the preview ends with a glimpse of the ALLDAY PROJECT members showing off their singing and dancing skills on the show.

ALLDAY PROJECT’s episode of “Amazing Saturday” will air on October 10 at 7:30 p.m. KST. In the meantime, check out the new preview below!
