VIVIZ members Eunha, SinB and Umji have signed exclusive contracts with a new agency, but the trio may not be able to continue promoting under the name VIVIZ. UNCORE announced the new partnership on October 5, while revealing that discussions over the group name with their former agency have not yet reached a final agreement. The agency said its priority is to help the 3 members resume group activities as quickly and smoothly as possible. As a result, promoting under a different group name is now also being considered.
Eunha, SinB And Umji Join UNCORE
UNCORE has officially signed exclusive contracts with Eunha, SinB and Umji, confirming that the 3 singers will continue working together as a team. The agency highlighted the members’ long history together and praised their teamwork and individual abilities.
It also promised support across various areas as they prepare for their next phase of group activities. UNCORE currently manages CLOSE YOUR EYES, the boy group formed through the survival program PROJECT 7. The addition of the 3 former GFRIEND members gives the company another established K-pop act.
VIVIZ Name Remains Uncertain After Agency Talks
Although the trio’s new contracts have been finalised, their group name remains unresolved. UNCORE explained that it has been negotiating with the members’s former agency regarding permission to use the existing VIVIZ name. However, the 2 sides have not agreed on the proposed terms.
Because there is still no final agreement, UNCORE is considering launching future promotions under a new group name instead. The agency said the final decision regarding the team name and the members’ concrete activity plans will be announced later.

VIVIZ Members Have Been Together Since GFRIEND
Eunha, SinB and Umji first debuted together as members of GFRIEND in 2015. After GFRIEND’s activities ended in 2021, the trio reunited as VIVIZ and made their debut as a 3-member group in 2022. VIVIZ went on to establish its own identity with releases including “BOP BOP!” and “MANIAC”.
The members have continued performing together while also building individual careers in music, entertainment and other areas. Their long history together is now becoming an important part of the discussion around their future, especially as they prepare to resume activities following their departure from their previous agency.
What's Next For Eunha, SinB And Umji?
For now, the immediate priority is getting the 3 members back to work as a group. UNCORE has not yet revealed a confirmed comeback date, new music schedule or replacement name. The possibility of changing the group’s name does not appear to affect their intention to continue working together. Eunha, SinB and Umji remain united as a trio, while their new agency focuses on establishing the next stage of their activities.
Whether they eventually retain the VIVIZ identity or introduce a new name will depend on the outcome of the ongoing discussions with their former agency. Until then, fans are waiting for the official announcement about what comes next for the group.
Final Take
Eunha, SinB and Umji have signed with UNCORE and will continue their activities together, but their future group name remains uncertain. As negotiations over the VIVIZ name continue, the agency is also preparing for the possibility of a new identity for the trio.
