Last month, VIVIZ spoke to NME about their time competing on Queendom 2, where they ultimately finished in third place. Describing their performance of the unreleased GFRIEND track ‘Red Sun’ on the show, SinB said, “I loved the song so much. I had been hoping for it to be released to the world more than anyone, and I was thrilled to be able to perform it,” a sentiment the group unanimously agreed on. Eunha added that “the stage came out perfectly, and it was just like how I imagined it to be”.

The trio’s new mini-album also marks their first-ever comeback since making their debut in February. Prior to this, VIVIZ had competed in Queendom 2 and released the track ‘Red Sun!’ as part of the show’s final round.

VIVIZ were first formed in October 2021 under Big Planet Made (BPM) Entertainment and are completed by members SinB, Eunha and Umji, all of whom are former members of the Source Music girl group GFRIEND.
