USPEER confirms June comeback with six-member lineup after leader 여원's departure
May 8, 2026
USPEER announced that, a day after revealing leader 여원's withdrawal from group activities and termination of her exclusive contract, the group has restructured with six remaining members and will make a June comeback. The agency MW Entertainment stated in an official release on the 7th that the June comeback is confirmed, and since this will be a long-awaited album, they plan to present an upgraded image and music. It also noted that although 여원 cannot participate, fans' support for the six members as they pursue a new determination and path is requested. This comeback features a six-member lineup after the group previously consisted of seven.\n\nWith this announcement, 여원 has been resting and recovering since the latter half of last year, and after discussions on future activities, the company and 여원 mutually decided to end team activities. The six members are 채나, 다온, 서유, 시안, 로아, 소이. They will preview upgraded music and performances in the June release, and fans have high expectations as they step back onto the public stage.\n\nUSPEER debuted last June with the single SPEED ZONE and quickly drew attention with the title track Zoom for strong performances and solid vocals on Worldwide. However, after news of the termination of their exclusive contract with WM Entertainment on December 31, 2025, they moved to MW Entertainment, founded by 이원민, in January 2026 to resume activities. The six-member comeback marks the first official activity since the agency change.\n\nMeanwhile, they appeared on Hong Kong's ViuTV reality show '백일 걸그룹' on episodes broadcast on April 27 and 28, returning to TV stages after a long time. On the global K-pop voting site KTOPSTAR, they ranked No. 1 for ten consecutive weeks as the best rookie (female), attracting attention and support from overseas fans.\n\nMW Entertainment said that the six-member comeback invites fans to give strong support and interest in the journey the six members will unfold with new resolve. The start of this six-member lineup is expected to bring synergy to fans and music fans, and all eyes are on what it will bring. This comeback after about a year has drawn industry attention.
