The K-pop girl group UNIS will be concluding their activities as a full group, according to an announcement made by their management agency, F&F Entertainment. The group, formed through the SBS audition program ‘Universe Ticket’, will officially end their collective promotions on September 26, 2026, marking the end of their management contract.
UNIS Wraps Up Group Promotions
F&F Entertainment released an official statement expressing gratitude to the fans, known as ‘EverAfter’, for their unwavering support since UNIS’s debut in March 2024. The agency detailed that discussions regarding contract terms and future activities had been ongoing between the management and the members. Following thorough deliberation, a mutual decision was reached to conclude their official group activities as UNIS within the agreed contract period.
The statement read, “We sincerely thank all the fans who have given UNIS their unwavering love and support since their debut in March 2024 through SBS’s ‘Universe Ticket’. UNIS, who has been together with the fans’ love and support for the past two years and six months, will have their exclusive management contract with us terminate on September 26, 2026.”
The agency further elaborated on the decision, stating, “The agency and the members have continuously discussed the contract period and future activity directions. Following ample discussion, it has been finally decided to conclude their official activities as the complete group UNIS according to the scheduled contract period.”
Looking Ahead: Individual Futures
While their journey as a unified group is coming to an end, F&F Entertainment emphasized their commitment to supporting each member’s future endeavors. The agency conveyed its sincere wishes for the members to pursue their dreams and continue to grow in their respective paths.
“Although their official activities together as UNIS will conclude, we will sincerely support the members as they embark on new beginnings, pursuing their dreams in their own spaces and growing further,” the statement continued. “We extend our deep gratitude to the members who have poured their passion and sincerity into creating numerous stages and precious moments under the name UNIS.”
The agency also highlighted the integral role of the fans in UNIS’s existence and success. “Above all, the reason UNIS exists today is thanks to EverAfter, who has always been by their side. We once again deeply thank all the fans who have created unforgettable journeys with UNIS during this time, and we ask for your unchanging love and warm support for the members as they take on new challenges.”
UNIS’s Journey and Recent Success
UNIS was formed from the SBS reality competition program ‘Universe Ticket’, which concluded in early 2024. The group consists of eight members: Jin Hyeon-ju, Gu Ri-won, Kim Se-ah, Oh Yoon-ah, Kim Yu-na, Park Su-min, Yoon Cha-won, and Nana. They officially debuted on March 27, 2024, with their first mini-album ‘We Unis’.
Recently, the group has garnered significant attention for their remake of the song ‘Haneulttang Byeolttang’ (which translates to ‘Sky Land Star Land’). This track, originally released in 2017 by the girl group CLC, has seen a resurgence in popularity, with UNIS’s rendition receiving positive feedback and contributing to the group’s growing fanbase.
The group’s initial formation was based on the concept of a ‘dream’ and a ‘world tour’, with the members selected from contestants across various countries, including South Korea, Japan, China, and the Philippines. This international composition was a key element of their identity, aiming to connect with a global audience.
Contractual End and Future Outlook
The decision to conclude group activities is tied to the expiration of their management contracts, which were set for a specific duration following their debut. While the exact terms of the contracts were not publicly disclosed, it is common for K-pop groups formed through survival shows to have contracts of a limited duration, often around two to three years, allowing members to pursue individual careers afterward if they choose.
The agency’s statement indicates a respectful and amicable parting of ways, focusing on the positive memories and achievements of the group. The commitment to supporting individual members suggests that while the UNIS banner may be retired, the members’ careers in the entertainment industry are likely to continue. Fans are encouraged to follow and support each member as they embark on their next chapter.
The conclusion of UNIS’s group activities marks the end of a significant chapter for the eight members and their dedicated fanbase, EverAfter. The group’s brief but impactful run, highlighted by their recent success with the ‘Haneulttang Byeolttang’ remake, leaves a memorable mark on the K-pop landscape. The agency’s forward-looking support for individual members signals a hopeful transition for the artists involved.
