VIVIZ (Eunha, SinB, and Umji)

What is VIVIZ?

VIVIZ is a South Korean girl group formed by BPM Entertainment, consisting of three members: Eunha, SinB, and Umji. The trio debuted on February 9, 2022, with their first extended play titled Beam of Prism. All three members formerly belonged to the girl group GFRIEND, which disbanded in May 2021 after their departure from Source Music. The members reunited in October 2021 under BPM Entertainment, expressing their intention to continue performing together as a new unit.

The group's name carries dual significance. VIVIZ serves as an abbreviation of "Vivid dayZ," combining the concepts of clarity, intensity, and days, which the agency defines as representing artists who confidently express their distinct colors to the world. Additionally, the Korean pronunciation "bi-bi-ji" references the last syllables of each member's given names: Jung Eunbi (Eunha), Hwang Eunbi (SinB), and Umji. This dual etymology reflects both the group's artistic vision and the personal connection between its members.

The group operates under the official greeting "Hello, we are VIVIZ!" and has established their fandom under the name Na.V. The fandom name combines "NA" with the "V" from VIVIZ and is pronounced similarly to the word butterfly, creating a symbolic connection between the group and their supporters.

VIVIZ positions itself as a mature trio with seven years of prior experience from their time in GFRIEND. The members have characterized their musical direction as distinct from their previous work, with Eunha explaining that whereas GFRIEND's music carried sentimental qualities, VIVIZ's sound embodies a bouncy energy designed to encourage movement. Their debut title track "BOP BOP!" exemplifies this approach through its hybrid dance genre that combines Latin rhythm with disco elements.

In March 2026, VIVIZ terminated their contract with BPM Entertainment amid payment disputes. Throughout their time with the agency, the group maintained significant creative involvement in their projects, with BPM Entertainment reportedly consulting the members on stylistic preferences and incorporating their feedback throughout the production process.
