Eunha, SinB, and Umji, who had been active as VIVIZ, opened official SNS after transferring to a new agency. However, there is no notation of the group name “VIVIZ”; instead, attention is being drawn because each of their initials is being used. UNCORE, their new agency, said in an official comment yesterday (the 26th), “Official SNS accounts for Eunha, SinB, and Umji have newly been opened,” and conveyed, “We plan to deliver diverse news and content of the three artists through these channels going forward, so we ask for your support.” On the newly released official SNS accounts such as X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, the ID “ehsbuj_official,” taken from the initials of the three names, was adopted instead of the group name “VIVIZ.” Prior to this, Eunha, SinB, and Umji filed an application for a provisional injunction to suspend the validity of their exclusive contracts against their former agency, Big Planet Made Entertainment, citing issues such as unpaid settlement money, and received a ruling in their favor from the court. After that, on the 5th of this month, they signed exclusive contracts with UNCORE, which commented, “We will spare no full support so that the three, who have long proven solid teamwork, can shine even more as one team.” However, even now, three weeks after the signing of the contract, an official group name has not been announced. This is because the three, who debuted in 2015 as the group GFRIEND and then re-debuted in 2022 as the trio VIVIZ and gained popularity, are bound by the trademark rights and copyrights of their former agencies for both group names. UNCORE explained the background, saying, “We have continuously discussed with the former agency so that we could continue activities while maintaining the existing group name VIVIZ, but due to differences of opinion between both sides regarding the conditions presented, we have not yet found a final point of agreement.” It also revealed, “Taking the rapid and stable resumption of the three members’ activities as the top priority, we are also considering activities under a new team name.” As adjustments to the conditions between agencies continue to stall, fans are also voicing concerns that they may have no choice but to make a fresh start under a new group name rather than VIVIZ, and interest in what happens next is growing. • VIVIZ signs an exclusive contract with new agency UNCORE, “Also considering activities under a new group name” • VIVIZ announces contract termination with agency, “Comeback has been scrapped... even the manager had to pay out of pocket”
