NewUs Members Profile and Facts
NewUs (뉴어스) was a South Korean boy group under Starcubic Entertainment, with its latest lineup consisting of 4 members: Huni, Sihwan, Pabi, and Seoin. The group was formed in February 2012 as 5 members: Seoin, Sihyung, Jion, Sangwook, and HM. Shortly before their debut Sihyung left, and was replaced with Huni. They officially made their debut on November 11, 2012, with their single “Right Now”, and promoted in both Korea and Japan. Throughout their career, NewUs underwent several other lineup changes. The debut lineup promoted together from 2012 until October 17, 2013, when HM, Seoin, and Huni were removed from the group. The following day, E-Kyun was added, and the group continued as a trio until late 2013 – early 2014. The former members who had left returned, replacing the existing lineup, and two new members, Pabi and Sihwan, were added. HM departed again in June 2014, leaving the group to promote with its final four-member lineup who remained active until their disbandment sometime in 2015, following the removal of their profile from the company’s official website and the deletion of their social media accounts.
