Former Lovelyz member Yein will return to the K-pop scene after signing with a new agency on Tuesday.

Sublime Artist Agency will be representing Jeong Ye-in (the artist’s legal name) both as an actor and a singer.

Jeong debuted in 2014 as the youngest member of eight-person girl group Lovelyz and has experience acting in TvN's crime drama series “Criminal Mind” (2017) and action web drama series “The Blue Sea” (2017).

The agency also announced Jeong’s plans for a solo debut. It neither specified the date nor the title of her song, but did say that Jeong was currently in her last stages of preparation for her first single.

Sublime Artist Agency represents singers and actors including Song Kang-ho, Rain and Jackson of GOT7.

Jeong’s group Lovelyz disbanded in November 2021 due to conclusion of its contract. Lovelyz was best known for hits such as “Ah-Choo” (2015) and “That Day” (2018). Its most recent release was in September of 2020.
