Girl group fromis_9 will put out its fifth EP “from our Memento Box” on June 27, said agency Pledis Entertainment on Tuesday.
It has been about five months since its previous EP “Midnight Guest” with which the group topped Oricon’s daily album chart and came in first place in television music chart shows two times in Korea. The fourth EP sold over 104,000 copies in the first week of sales, a record for the group.
The nine-member act debuted through an audition program on Mnet in 2018, but it was not until last year when it came out with second single “9 Way Ticket” that it gained popularity. The group held its first official fan meet event in Seoul in April.
