Report: Former IZ*ONE Member ‘KIM ***’ Heading to HYBE Source Music

According to an exclusive report by Star News on the 17th, Kim C*** has signed a contract to join a HYBE label.

Kim C*** will be a member of a new girl group being prepared under Source Music, a HYBE subsidiary label. Kim C***, who was previously under Woollim Entertainment, finalized her move to HYBE at the end of June, and the process was carried out in strict secrecy, including a non-disclosure agreement between both companies.

If this girl group launches as planned, HYBE label Source Music—which had no active girl group following GFRIEND’s disbandment—will have a girl group composed of the most former IZ*ONE members since the group’s disbandment. As the group that essentially succeeds IZ*ONE, it is expected to generate significant anticipation in Korea, Japan, and the global K-pop market.
