Together, these colors blend to create the vibrant and diverse music that defines ablume, "the agency explained, unraveling the members’ looks as the new group.
The meaning of their group also seems to symbolize the fall and cherry blossom seasons. “Cheerfulness“ and ”Harmony"—Cosmos, with its delicate petals swaying in the autumn breeze, embodies a sense of purity and peace. It is also well-known as a flower that symbolizes harmony with nature," their first post read.

Saena, Aran, and Sio originally debuted with FIFTY FIFTY in 2022. They were the hitmakers behind Cupid, which took over the internet world by storm. Alongside Keena, these three members equally contributed to the rookie girl group’s emerging global success. However, things went south when they got embroiled in a lawsuit row with FIFTY FIFTY’s agency, ATTRAKT.
Although in November 2023, the contracts were terminated, the issue was far from being settled. Most recently, the three members filed a civil lawsuit against the agency, demanding 301 million KRW in plaintiff. Previously, in June 2023, they argued the reason was ATTRAKT’s “failure to provide settlement statements’. However, the court dismissed the request at that time.
