The girl group NiziU, which continues to dominate the music scene, has been decided to release its third Korean work. NiziU will release its first Korean mini album, "Sour Grapes," on Monday, September 28. Today, at 0:00 on Monday, September 7, the prologue film for the work was released on the official SNS. Their release of a work in Korea is about one and a half years since the Korean 2nd single "LOVE LINE" in March 2025 last year. In the aforementioned prologue film, NiziU shows various appearances in a video with a "grape" concept, as the title of the work suggests, and great expectations are gathering as to what kind of songs will be included in the new mini album "Sour Grapes" and what kind of work it will turn out to be. From last year to this year, after their first and largest hall & arena tour, and dome live performances in Tokyo and Osaka for the first time in about three and a half years, and after their 5th debut anniversary, the girls have achieved further growth, and attention is focused on their new work released in Korea after a long time. So far, they have won first place on local music programs twice, with "HEARTRIS" from their Korean debut work "Press Play" in October 2023 and the title track "LOVE LINE" from their Korean 2nd single "LOVE LINE," and expectations are rising for their further success.
