BBGIRLS (브브걸), previously known and loved as Brave Girls, are no strangers to the K-pop scene. Their song “Rollin’” charted for 553 consecutive days on the Melon daily chart – the longest period among Korean girl group songs – and topped the Melon weekly chart for 8 consecutive weeks. Whether you’re a new or seasoned K-pop fan, you’ve most likely heard this one.

Now the girls are back, with a fresh look and a bright future ahead of them. ‘ONE MORE TIME’ is a special single-album that showcases the unbreakable friendship among the four members, MINYOUNG, YOUJOUNG, EUNJI, and YUNA. 

“It’s a special one,” admits leader MINYOUNG, “as we all have participated in every step of the process to create something that shows all four of our colours.”

The album includes two new tracks; the title track, “ONE MORE TIME” – an addictive retro pop sound that samples legendary soul-funk artist Rick James’s “Give It To Me Baby” – and a trendy and refreshing pop song entitled, “Lemonade”.

In April 2023, Brave Girls signed with Warner Music Korea making them the latest in a long list of iconic names (including PENTAGON, GOT7, and AB6IX) to do so. The confident and charismatic comeback will mark the group’s first time releasing an album under their new name and agency. 

EUNJI, member of BBGIRLS said: “We are excited and nervous at the same time to see how our fans will feel about the new BBGIRLS, but we believe that you will love it!”

Having won several notable awards in the past, from ‘Forbes Best K-Pop Idol Who Shone in 2021’ (2021) to ‘Gaon Chart Music Awards Artist of the Year’ (2022), it’s clear that BBGIRLS not only have heaps of talent but also have a dedicated following. 

BBGIRLS’s new official fanclub name ‘BBee’ (쁘이) was also revealed on July 13, 2023.
