In 30 seconds: fromis_9

The sound runs from school-bright pop through to something considerably more polished, and the older releases belong to the larger line-up.

Start here for girl-group pop that is easy on first listen and better made than it lets on.

From debut to now

  • 2018
    To Heart was the debut, and following on through DKDK and LOVE BOMB shows the bright early pop feel and the points that stick.
  • 2019
    FUN! widened the light-footed concept and made the brightness carried since the start even catchier.
  • 2020
    Feel Good added a slightly grown-up colour, opening a way into fromis_9 beyond the brightness alone.
  • 2021
    WE GO and Talk & Talk layered an online feel, lightness and easy listening, settling the signature pop direction.
  • 2022
    DM built a polished entry point, and Stay This Way filled in the bright summer expression.
  • 2023
    The maturing of the group came to the front with #menow, an entry point on the present side of a long catalogue.
  • 2024
    Supersonic added more routes to the recent signature songs and shows how immediately the music video and the song land.
  • 2025
    LIKE YOU BETTER works as the way into the new lineup, with the music video and the Performance filling in how they look now.
  • 2026
    A Japanese-language version of LIKE YOU BETTER is kept apart, so the Korean and global releases and the Japanese ones never get mixed up.

KPOP DISCOVER's fromis_9 note

fromis_9 is anchored by a freshness that runs from bright school-yard pop to a polished, grown-up pop. The group debuted on January 24, 2018 with To Heart, and while keeping the early friendliness and easy listening, each release has added a slightly more adult colour.

LOVE BOMB made the early point that sticks, DM brought polish, #menow brought maturity and Supersonic showed the recent momentum. Official videos sit on both Official fromis_9 and HYBE LABELS, so splitting by channel keeps the sourcing tidy. The Japanese-language version of LIKE YOU BETTER is kept apart so it does not mix with the Korean and global releases.

The through-line runs from the signature songs of the nine-member era all the way to the current activity, in one unbroken thread. LOVE BOMB, then DM, then #menow covers the early days, the polish and the maturity.

Editors' take LOVE BOMB / DM / #menow — three songs that carry the freshness of this group from bright school-yard pop through to a polished, grown-up pop.

Japan activity score

KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 170/ 210 groups

No. 170 of 210 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 81%)

  • 1Japanese releases
  • 3Japan-related tracks
  • 0Members from Japan
  • 0Official Japanese accounts

The denominator is the 210 groups, out of 525 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
