South Korean girl group From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ablume (Korean: 어블룸, commonly stylized in all lowercase) is a South Korean girl group formed by Massive E&C. The group is composed of three members: Aran, Saena, and Sio. They were formerly part of the South Korean girl group Fifty Fifty.
The group's name originally comes from the German word blume meaning flower, which symbolizes growth and the process of blooming. The trio explained the name to find their charm and potential while creating "diverse music".[1][unreliable source]
Aran, Saena, and Sio were previously members of South Korean girl group Fifty Fifty since November 2022, where they gained popularity for bubblegum song "Cupid" (2023).[2] Soon the group filed an injunction to suspend their exclusive contracts with record label Attrakt on June 19, 2023. This cited the violation of contractual obligations, as well as the lack of transparency in financial settlements, and medical negligence.[3] After the ongoing legal disputes, the former agency terminated their exclusive contracts on October 23,[4] excluding Keena, who withdrew her lawsuit against the record label and remained with Fifty Fifty.[5]
Aran, Saena, and Sio announced they had signed an exclusive contract with Massive E&C on August 12, 2024.[6] Two months later, the trio reintroduced themselves as Ablume throughout social media on October 15 and explained the meaning behind the group's name.[7] This caused the Korea Management Federation (KMF) to condemned the trio for its accused attempts in tampering with their former record label.[8][unreliable source] Soon after, the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA) considered to exclude the group from appearing on record charts or any music awards ceremonies and called out a boycott on December 13, against girl groups Ablume and NewJeans.[9] Fans criticized the record chart for targeting them instead of addressing their systemic issues.[10][unreliable source]
Meanwhile, the girl group spent their time on producing music videos, photoshoots, and uploading choreograph content online in Los Angeles, United States.[11] Shortly after, the trio covered "Text Me Merry Christmas" (2014) by American acappella group Straight No Chaser, throughout social media on December 19.[12]
