The four new members joining Keena to form the second generation of the K-pop girl group Fifty Fifty have been unveiled.

On Friday, the girl group dropped a clip on YouTube introducing its new members — Yewon, Chanelle, Hana, and one whose name has not been revealed.

Yewon is a 19-year-old born in Korea who took part in the JTBC idol survival program “R U Next?” that launched the girl group Illit and was organized by HYBE subsidiary Belift Lab.

Yewon was formerly a trainee at Source Music, another HYBE subsidiary.

Chanelle, who also participated in “R U Next?,” is a 21-year-old Korean American born in Los Angeles. She used to be a trainee at Belift Lab.

Hana is an 18-year-old born in Korea who made her first public appearance through Mnet’s children’s song survival program “Wicked” in 2016.

Details of the remaining new member have yet to be released.

Keena, the only remaining member from the original lineup, will come back with the new members on Sept. 20.

Fifty Fifty was earlier announced to return as a quintet with four new members joining original member Keena in September.

“We’ve been holding auditions in search of new members for the group’s new leap. We finalized four new members in April,” announced its agency, Attrakt, on June 15, in a press release.
