K-pop’s rising stars UNIS are making waves in 2024! On September 3rd, the girl group—comprised of Jin Hyun Joo, Nana, Jelly Dangka, Kotoko, Bang Yoon-ha, Alicia, Oh Yoon-ah, and Im Seo-won—took home the prestigious ‘Rookie Girl Group of the Year’ award at the ‘2024 Brand of the Year Awards’.
This accolade is particularly special as it’s determined by nationwide consumer voting. From July 8 to 21, fans cast their votes, and UNIS emerged as the standout new girl group of the year, cementing their place as a hot new act capturing public interest.
In a heartfelt statement through their agency, F&F Entertainment, UNIS expressed their gratitude: “We are incredibly grateful to receive such a meaningful award just six months after our debut. We will work hard to show even better music and performances in the future.”
UNIS has been making impressive strides since their debut. Their first album, WE UNIS, released in March, achieved the 8th highest first-week sales among debut girl group albums of all time. The group has also made notable appearances on various domestic and international music charts, signaling their strong start.
Their latest single album, CURIOUS, has set new career highs. The album topped iTunes charts in five countries upon release and saw first-week sales surpassing their previous works, highlighting their ongoing growth and popularity.
In addition to their recent win, UNIS has already collected four trophies this year, including the Asia Star Award for Idol Star at the ‘2024 Korea Best Brand Awards – Korean Wave Entertainment Awards’, the Popularity Award for Female Groups and K-Pop World Dream Music Icon Award at the ‘2024 K WORLD DREAM AWARDS’, and now the ‘Rookie Girl Group of the Year’ at the ‘2024 Brand of the Year Awards’.
