Girl group ADYA to release new album in August

Girl group ADYA [STARTING HOUSE]

Girl group ADYA will return with a new album in August, its agency Starting House said Tuesday.

The upcoming album will be the group’s second album released just three months after the release of its debut album “ADYA” in May.

Details of the upcoming album will be released at a future date.

Pronounced ey-dee-ya, the group’s name combines “adventure” and “ya,” a Spanish word indicating that something has started, according to the agency.

Known originally as Starting Girls, ADYA is agency Starting House’s first girl group.

Starting House, which currently represents dancer and choreographer No:ze and ADYA, is founded by Yim Yong-woon, the former vice-president of CUBE Entertainment. Yim, who has played a key role in producing boy band Pentagon and girl group (G)I-DLE at CUBE Entertainment, is in charge of the girl group as the executive producer.
