Bio

Nine Muses (Korean: 나인뮤지스, often stylized as 9MUSES or NINE MUSES) is a South Korean girl group formed by Star Empire Entertainment in 2010 with an admissions and graduation concept. The group currently consists of five members: Sungah (on hiatus), Kyungri, Hyemi, Sojin, and Keumjo.

2010–2011: Debut and line-up changes

The formation of Nine Muses was announced on March 26, 2010. Their first single album Let's Have a Party on August 12, 2010. The lead single No Playboy was produced by composers Rainstone and Park Jin Young. In October, Jaekyung withdrew from the group to focus on her modeling career and was replaced by Hyuna. To advance into the Japanese market, on December 26, 2010, Nine Muses performed six songs on Seoul Train, an event in which K-pop artists and groups perform for their Japanese fans, alongside V.O.S. and ZE:A. In January 2011 it was announced that members Bini, Rana and Euaerin would leave the group to pursue other areas, and that they will not receive replacements. However, three months later Euaerin re-joined the group. Nine Muses returned as a 7 member group with the release of their digital single Figaro and its music video on August 18, 2011. During the Figaro promotional period, Star Empire announced that the group name would be changed to 'Sweet Candy', as it would confuse people if Nine Muses was a group with only 7 members. A month later, Star Empire confirmed that the group name was not changing, because in the future Star Empire would add two new members to the group, once again making Nine Muses a 9-member group.

2012–2013: New members and Prima Donna

Nine Muses introduced a new member, Kyungri, during the group's performance in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Nine Muses released music video for their digital single News on January 10 and the single was officially released on January 11, 2012.

On May 25, they released two music videos for their new military campaign song "My Youth's Allegiance" On December 12, Star Empire introduced new member Sungah. Nine Muses released their digital single Dolls in January 2013. It debuted at number 35 on the Gaon Top 100 Chart. On May 9, 2013, Nine Muses' second mini album "Wild" with a title track of the same name, was released. The single debuted on the Gaon chart at number 32, whereas the physical mini-album debuted on May 16, 2013 at number 4. On October 13, 2013, Nine Muses released their first studio album Prima Donna with lead single Gun. Nine Muses released digital single Glue and its music video on December 4.
