Girl group mimiirose is making a fresh start with two new members and a new label, Pocket7 Entertainment.

All of the original members have signed exclusive contracts with the company, Pocket7 Entertainment said Tuesday. Two Japanese members will join the group — originally five Korean artists — to bring its total number to seven.

The group is preparing to release an album in the next three months.


“We are glad to welcome mimiirose, a group with a very unique and original music style, as the first new family members under the company,” Pocket7 Entertainment said. “Please give a lot of love and support to mimiirose, who is gearing up to take its next leap forward.”

mimiirose debuted in 2022 with members Choi Yeon Jae, Han Ye Won, Yoon Ji Ah, Seo Yun Ju and Inn Hyo Ri as Yes Im Entertainment's first girl group, co-produced by agency Totalset. The group released its debut single, “Awesome,” in September 2022 and its second single, “Live,” last September.

The girl group garnered attention for being produced by singer-songwriter Im Chang-jung, the founder and chief producer of Yes Im Entertainment. They, and their label, later faced uncertainty after Im was reported to be involved in a stock manipulation case. The members’ contracts with Yes Im Entertainment were terminated last November.
