The “vocal queens” of K-pop are officially coming back together. On December 31, 2025, RBW Entertainment sent waves of excitement through the global music community by announcing a massive commemorative project for MAMAMOO’s 12th debut anniversary.
The group, consisting of Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein, and Hwasa, is set to release a full-group album in June 2026, followed by an extensive large-scale world tour.
This announcement marks a pivotal moment for the quartet, as it will be their first group release in nearly four years since their 12th mini-album, MIC ON, which dropped in October 2022.
The 12th Anniversary Project: June 2026
MAMAMOO officially debuted on June 19, 2014, and June 2026 will mark exactly twelve years of their influential career.
To honor this milestone, the members are reuniting for a project that the agency describes as a “response to the unwavering love and support” of their dedicated fandom, MooMoo.
The timing of the June release is particularly special, as MAMAMOO has a long-standing tradition of delivering high-energy, successful summer tracks like “Um Oh Ah Yeh,” “Yes I Am,” and “Egotistic.”
This upcoming album is expected to showcase the artistic evolution each member has undergone during their period of solo focus, blending their individual strengths back into the cohesive, powerful harmony that defined the group’s rise to stardom.
A Massive 26-City World Tour
Accompanying the new album is a large-scale world tour that aims to connect with fans on a global level. The tour is confirmed to span 26 cities across several major regions:
- South Korea: Launching with domestic concerts to celebrate with home fans.
- Asia: Returning to key markets where their popularity remains sky-high.
- North and South America: Reaching out to the Western fanbase that has long awaited a full-group return.
- Europe: A highly anticipated inclusion that has already sparked massive discussion among European MooMoos.
The agency stated that the tour will not only feature live stages for their new songs but will also serve as a “musical journey” through their entire discography.

Fans can expect powerful vocal performances and storytelling that encapsulate the group’s narrative since 2014.
The Power of “Trust-and-Listen MAMAMOO”
The term “믿듣맘무” (Mid-Deut-Mam-Mu), meaning “MAMAMOO you can trust and listen to,” has become a hallmark of their reputation.
This project is a reaffirmation of that title. Despite the members being signed to different agencies for their solo activities, their commitment to the group remains unshaken.
RBW will take the lead in producing the album and organizing the tour, ensuring that the signature “MAMAMOO flavor”—vocal excellence, stage confidence, and genre-bending experimentation—is preserved.
Why This Matters Now
Since their last group release, Solar and Wheein have wrapped up successful Asia tours, Moonbyul is currently on her own solo tour, and Hwasa has dominated domestic charts with hits like “Good Goodbye.”
This period of individual growth is what makes the 2026 reunion so compelling; it’s an opportunity to see how four established soloists can reinvent their group dynamics for a new era of K-pop.
For MooMoos who have navigated the “MAMAMOO drought” by supporting four separate solo careers, the announcement of an OT4 comeback is the ultimate year-end gift.
As the group prepares to hit the stage in 26 cities, the anticipation is already at a fever pitch.
2026 is shaping up to be a legendary year for the vocal powerhouse, proving that no matter how far their solo journeys take them, MAMAMOO is a force that is simply better together. Get your lightsticks ready—the queens are coming home.
Actor Gong Myung has officially paused his filming schedule for the upcoming highly anticipated romantic comedy drama “Secret Audit” due to a sudden health issue.
On December 30, 2025, his agency, Saram Entertainment, released a statement explaining that the actor had been hospitalized after experiencing severe dizziness.
While the news caused concern among fans, the agency provided a reassuring update, noting that his recovery is expected to be swift.
This incident highlights the intense physical demands placed on lead actors during the peak of production for major broadcast projects.
Sudden Hearing Loss and Hospitalization
According to reports from industry insiders and the agency’s communication with Ilgan Sports, the primary cause of Gong Myung’s dizziness was diagnosed as sudden hearing loss.
This condition, which often occurs without warning, requires immediate medical attention and inpatient treatment to ensure a full recovery and prevent permanent damage.

- Treatment Status: Gong Myung is currently receiving inpatient care to stabilize his condition.
- Return Timeline: Saram Entertainment has expressed optimism, stating that they expect the actor to return to the set within the first week of January 2026.
The decision to pause filming was made collectively by the production team and the agency to prioritize Gong Myung’s long-term health, ensuring he can return to the role of Noh Ki Joon with full energy and focus.
About the Drama: “Secret Audit”
“Secret Audit” is a refreshing romantic comedy that has already garnered significant attention for its stellar casting and unique workplace setting. The drama revolves around:
- Joo In Ah (played by Shin Hye Sun): A charismatic and formidable head of an audit office who leads her team with an iron fist but harbors a major, life-changing secret.
- Noh Ki Joon (played by Gong Myung): The former “ace” of the audit team who finds himself unexpectedly demoted. His character is tasked with handling internal scandal investigations, leading to comedic and romantic friction with his boss, Joo In Ah.
The chemistry between Gong Myung and Shin Hye Sun is one of the most anticipated elements of the series, which is scheduled to premiere later in 2026.
Despite the brief production delay, the team is confident that the broadcast schedule will not be significantly impacted.
Rising Star Status
Gong Myung’s health scare comes at a time when his career is on a steep upward trajectory.
Following his successful military discharge and his standout performance in the film Extreme Job and dramas like Lovers of the Red Sky, he has become one of the industry’s most sought-after leading men.
His fans have flooded social media with well-wishes, using hashtags to support his recovery.
The Production Team’s Support
The “Secret Audit” production team has been vocal about their support for Gong Myung, emphasizing that “an actor’s health is the top priority.”
They have reportedly adjusted the shooting schedule to focus on scenes involving other cast members, including Shin Hye Sun and the supporting audit team, to minimize downtime while Gong Myung undergoes treatment.
As 2026 begins, the focus remains on Gong Myung’s successful recovery.
Sudden hearing loss can be a frightening diagnosis, but with early intervention and rest, most patients make a full return to their daily activities.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the news of his return to the set, hopeful that his 2026 will be defined by professional success rather than health challenges. Saram Entertainment has promised to provide further updates as the situation progresses.
For now, the “Secret Audit” ace is taking a well-deserved break to ensure he can continue to shine on screen for years to come. Get well soon, Gong Myung!
