New Girl Group Cignature Just Debuted—Here’s All You Need To Know About Them
New girl group Cignature just made their much-anticipated debut with their first single, “Nun Nu Nan Na”, and their first fans are already sure they’ll be the rookies to watch this year. Want to stan? Here’s all you need to know about them.
About The Group
Cignature is a new girl group with 7 members: Chaesol, Jeewon, YeAh, Sunn, Seline, Belle, and Semi. They’re managed by J9 Entertainment, a subsidiary of C9 Entertainment. If that company sounds familiar, it’s because they’re also the ones behind boy group CIX.
5 of the 7 Cignature members have been seen before. They previously debuted as part of a now-disbanded girl group, GOOD DAY, and also participated in KBS2’s survival show, The Unit.
The name “Cignature” represents the members’ wish to become a “signature group” in the K-Pop sphere. Before their debut, they were known as C9 Girlz. You can find them at @cignature_J9 on Twitter and Instagram.
About The Song
Cignature made their debut on February 3 2020 with “Nun Nu Nan Na”. This bright, fun dance track features a colorful music video and bouncy choreography.
A few days before the song’s release, Cignature also uploaded a short dance practice.
