9MUSES (Hangul: 나인뮤지스), also known as Nine Muses, was a South Korean girl group under Star Empire Entertainment. In their final lineup, the group consisted of 5 members: Sungah (성아), Kyungri (경리), Hyemi (혜미), Sojin (소진), and Keumjo (금조). 9MUSES debuted in 2010 with the single No Playboy. Shortly after their debut, Jaekyung, Bini, Rana, and Euaerin were announced to be leaving the group. Euaerin later decided to return to the group. The group came back in 2011 with 휘가로 (Figaro), which was received more positively. It was revealed that their company had nearly decided to rename them Sweet Candy, due to fears that people would become confused as to why a group called 9MUSES only had seven members. In 2012, Kyungri was added to the group lineup in time for their comeback the same year, 뉴스 (News). In 2013, Sungah was added to the group line up, thus completing the group, with 9 members. In the same year, the group had 4 comebacks, with their 3rd comeback having the group release their first full-length album, Prima Donna. The group promoted 돌스 (Dolls) from their third extended play DOLLS in January, 와일드 (Wild) from their fourth EP Wild in May, 건 (Gun) from their first full-length album Prima Donna in October, and 글루 (Glue) in December. In 2014, Star Empire announced that members Lee Sem, Eunji, and Sera had graduated from the group. The company announced there would be a comeback in August of that year with a new member. ...
