5 members of Fromis 9 sign with ASND to continue group, negotiations with Pledis over name underway

Fromis 9 recently left Pledis Entertainment after the conclusion of their contracts, and their future had been up in the air. Rumors that at least some of them would continue had circulated recently, and today it was confirmed by agency ASND that five of the members have signed with the company.

Hayoung, Jiwon, Nagyung, Chaeyoung, and Jiheon have signed up, and they are currently in negotiations with Pledis to take the Fromis 9 name with them. The other three — Saerom, Seoyeon, and Jisun — had lengthy discussions with members but decided to pursue separate interests.

Honestly, I don’t know the dynamic of the group well enough to know whether this is adequate skills/visuals/popularity to be a viable unit (Fromis 5?), but their seeming disbandment after “Supersonic” gained popularity was weirdly timed, and they always had quality songs, so it’s worth taking a shot either way. Probably worth mentioning that I can’t find anything about the company’s background, so that’s a mystery yet to be solved.
