Yerin to host 1st fan meet
Yerin will meet her fans in person for the first time as a solo performer at a fan meet in Seoul on Oct. 7, according to agency Bill Entertainment on Wednesday.
The event is named “Login” and will be held twice on the day.
She just wrapped up promoting her second solo EP “Ready, Set, LOVE,” which came out about a year after her first EP, “Aria.” The second EP was made up of four tracks, including the main track, “Bambambam.”
Yerin was a member of GFriend that debuted in 2015. The six members of the group went their separate ways after their contract with then-agency Source Music abruptly ended in 2021. The group did not disband, though, she underlined in a recent interview, adding that one day the bandmates will perform together.
Kep1er opens website for upcoming EP

The website, dubbed “Hello Kep1er,” showed Shaoting looking into something. With a drag of the mouse, a table appears in the middle of the space. “Ah … this is what you’ve been looking at … seems like someone’s desk?” it says.
The group piqued the interest of its fans for its previous EP “Lovestruck!” with a dedicated blog.
The nine-member act will bring out the new EP on Sept. 25. It will consist of five tracks including two subunit songs, a first from the group. In October, it will greet fans in Tokyo.
