Fromis_9 Returns with Youthful Energy
K-pop girl group fromis_9 kicked off their highly anticipated comeback in style. On June 25, they released their 6th mini album ‘From Our 20’s’, making a splash across music shows like Mnet’s ‘M Countdown’, KBS2’s ‘Music Bank’, MBC’s ‘Show! Music Core’, and SBS’s ‘Inkigayo’. But that wasn’t all— they also delighted fans on variety programs such as ‘Mr. House Husband 2’, ‘Fun-Staurant’, and even the legendary comedy show ‘Gag Concert’.
Bright and Bubbly on Stage
Living up to their title as ‘Summer Queens,’ fromis_9 dazzled with their performances of the title track ‘LIKE YOU BETTER’. With refreshing choreography and heart-fluttering lyrics about love in your twenties, the group served up a sweet summer vibe. For fans—known as flover—the return brought a mix of nostalgia and new excitement.
The music video for ‘LIKE YOU BETTER’ quickly proved the group’s global reach, surpassing 10 million views in just four days. The breezy visuals and catchy sound hit all the right notes for both dedicated fans and new listeners alike.
Stealing the Spotlight on Variety Shows
Fromis_9’s charm extended beyond the stage. Member Baek Jiheon appeared as a special guest on ‘Mr. House Husband 2’ and ‘Fun-Staurant’, where her bright personality and empathetic reactions won over viewers. She also slipped in enthusiastic plugs for ‘LIKE YOU BETTER,’ earning her spot as the group’s unofficial promotion fairy.
On ‘Gag Concert’, the entire group joined in on the laughs, participating in the ‘Defconn: Summer Romance?’ skit. Playing into a parody scenario, they greeted a female comedian donning a Defconn lookalike costume with an earnest, “Hello, senior!”—prompting an eruption of laughter from the audience. Wrapping up their appearance with a live performance of ‘LIKE YOU BETTER,’ they brought both comedy and music together on Sunday night TV.
Spotlight on Youth in Their 20s
‘From Our 20’s’ marks fromis_9’s first new album in nearly 10 months since their single ‘Supersonic’ was released in August 2023. The album encapsulates emotions and experiences unique to one’s twenties, delivered with fromis_9’s signature freshness. Fans have been resonating deeply with its relatable messages and upbeat tone.
With a jam-packed schedule and rising momentum, fromis_9 plans to continue connecting with global fans through diverse content and ongoing promotional activities.
