Eunha, SinB and Umji sign with new agency, but VIVIZ name remains in limbo

Eunha, SinB and Umji — the three members of girl group VIVIZ — are set for a fresh start under new agency Uncore.

Uncore announced Monday that it had signed exclusive contracts with all three members, pledging to "provide full support in every way so that the three artists, who have demonstrated solid teamwork over a long period, can continue to actively promote together as a group."

However, whether the trio can continue using the VIVIZ name remains unresolved. Uncore said it had held talks with the members' former agency over retaining the name, but the two sides could not reach a final agreement due to differences over the terms proposed.

With that in mind, the agency said it is also considering adopting a new group name in order to prioritize a stable resumption of the members' activities.

Eunha, SinB and Umji first debuted in 2015 as part of the six-member girl group GFRIEND, earning a following with hits including "Me Gustas Tu," "Glass Bead" and "Rough." The three later re-debuted in 2022 as the trio VIVIZ, releasing tracks such as "BOP BOP!" and "MANIAC."
