Girl group fromis_9 has decided to make a comeback this coming summer, solidifying its place as summer queen.
On the 12th, OSEN reported that fromis_9 (Song Ha-young, Park Gee-won, Lee Chae-young, Lee Na-kyung, Baek Ji-heon) is preparing for a comeback aimed for July.
fromis_9's comeback comes about seven months after releasing "White Longing" on Dec. 2 last year. After leaving Pledis Entertainment and reorganizing as a five-member group, fromis_9 settled into a new home at new agency Ascend and in June last year released the new mini album "From Our 20's" and showed they remained strong by winning first place on music shows with the title track "LIKE YOU BETTER."
fromis_9's momentum continued. The remake digital single "White Longing," released after "LIKE YOU BETTER," secured three music show wins and ranked high on music charts, booking a "carol pension." They then successfully completed the "2025-26 fromis_9 WORLD TOUR ENCORE 'NOW TOMORROW.'" held from Jan. 30 to Feb. 1 at Hwajeong Gymnasium, Korea University, in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul.
Following their success on music charts and shows, fromis_9 has been active as a "cheat key" on various variety programs. Member Lee Chae-young drew attention for performing AOA's "Short Skirt" at the 2025 KBS Gayo Daechukje, then continued activities such as hosting a web variety show solo and appearing on Radio Star, and Park Gee-won was chosen as the MC for Workdol season 5 and is active in that role.
Having claimed summer queen with "LIKE YOU BETTER" and secured a carol pension with "White Longing," attention is on whether fromis_9 will extend its streak with a third consecutive hit.
