Brave Girls is preparing to make a comeback in March, said agency Brave Entertainment Monday.
It has been about half a year since its previous album, “After We Ride,” a repackaging of its fifth EP “Summer Queen.” The group reigned music charts and swept year-end music awards with focus track “Chi Mat Ba Ram,” proving itself worth the title of the EP.
The group will compete with other female musicians -- Viviz, WJSN, Loona, Kep1er and Hyolyn, formerly of Sistar -- in the second season of “Queendom,” a survival TV program among female K-pop acts that starts airing on March 31.
Meanwhile, Minyoung said hello to fans with a picture of herself and her dog on Instagram, a month after she said she was taking a break due to health reasons. The post marked the sixth anniversary of her debut as a member of the band.
