Hellovenus

Hello Venus was a South Korean girl group formed in Seoul by Tricell Media, a joint venture between Pledis Entertainment and Fantagio. The original lineup comprised Alice, Nara, Lime, Yooara, Yoonjo, and Yooyoung. The group made their official debut with the 2012 release of the single "Venus," followed by their debut EP by the same name. In July 2014, the joint venture ended, leading Yooara and Yoonjo to remain with Pledis, while the other four members stayed under Fantagio. Two new members, Seoyoung and Yeoreum, joined later that year. This lineup change was followed by the release of their popular single "Sticky Sticky." The year 2015 saw the release of the digital single "Wiggle Wiggle" and the mini-album I'm Ill. Hello Venus continued to collaborate with the production team Devine Channel, releasing the singles "Glow," "Paradise," and "Runway" between 2016 and 2017. Their final mini-album, Mystery of Venus, came out in January 2017, with "Mysterious" as its title track. The group officially disbanded in 2019 after its members' contracts expired. Throughout their active years, Hello Venus was nominated for several awards, winning the Newcomer Award (Female Group) at the Gaon Chart K-Pop Awards and the Popularity Award at the Asian Model Festival in 2015.
