Artemis Hasul shoulder surgery, decision to comeback as a 4-member group
Artemis is making a comeback with 'Hyper-Ego' after 1 year and 2 months. They will promote as a 4-member group due to Hasul's shoulder surgery, and following the pre-release of the title track on July 24, they will continue with promotions in the United States.
4-Member Activities Due to Hasul's Shoulder Surgery, Expanding the Narrative with 'Hyper-Ego'
The group ARTMS is set to unveil a new musical world, breaking a hiatus of approximately one year and two months. The first concept photo version, 'Aura,' for the new album 'Hyper-Ego,' which was released by their agency MODHAUS via official SNS on the 6th, captures the mysterious visuals of the members. This new release is expected to further deepen and expand the unique worldview and narrative that ARTMS has built so far.
However, not all members will participate in this round of activities. As member Hasul undergoes shoulder surgery, this album promotion will proceed with a 4-member lineup consisting of Heejin, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry. Following the surgery, Hasul plans to continue solo activities within reasonable limits, considering her health status. ARTMS is a five-member girl group that re-debuted in May 2024 after former LOONA members Heejin, Hasul, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry transferred to MODHAUS. They have consistently maintained their activities by releasing songs such as 'Virtual Angel,' 'Icarus,' 'Verse,' and 'Burn.'
The teasing schedule for the comeback is tightly packed. On the 7th, individual concept photos for the 'Aura' version will be released, followed by the 'Trauma' version concept photos on the 8th, stimulating fans' curiosity. Starting from August, specific details of the album, such as the tracklist and highlight medley, will be sequentially unveiled.
Title Track Pre-release on the 24th, Followed by US Promotion, Official Release on August 7th
ARTMS has adopted an unusual promotional method for this comeback. Before the official album release, the title track and music video will be released to the public on the 24th. After presenting the song first, ARTMS plans to immediately embark on US promotions, officially kicking off their assault on the global market. After completing their activities in the US, they will reach the peak of their promotions by officially releasing the new album 'Hyper-Ego' on August 7th.
This comeback is expected to be more than just a musical return; it will serve as an opportunity to reaffirm the identity the members have built since their re-debut. In particular, a key point of interest is how this 4-member activity will fill the void left by Hasul and complete the existing narrative. The agency maintains the stance that this album will be an important milestone in strengthening ARTMS's unique color.
