Who is mimiirose? All we know about the latest K-pop girl group in town

Formerly known as mimiimiii, mimiirose is a freshly debuted K-pop group under YES IM Entertainment. The name mimiirose is a combination of the word rose and the Chinese word mi for beauty, and it is meant to represent both inner and outer beauty. Each member represents a petal that joins to form a beautiful flower.

Despite the industry's saturation, more than twenty groups debut each year, with only a few gaining recognition and only one or two sustaining a successful career. To ensure the girl group's successful debut, Im Chang Jung, the agency's CEO and a successful actor and singer himself, sold the copyrights to 160 of his songs, as well as the land he was investing in.

The rights to his most famous song, A Glass of Soju, which were supposed to go into his retirement fund, were also sold in order to fund mimiirose's debut. This touching story touched K-pop fans who were looking forward to the group's debut.

The five group members were revealed on September 1 when their concept photos for their single-album Awesome was released on all of mimiirose’s social media platforms. Let’s take a look at all five members of the group mimiirose.
