K-pop girl group tripleS is continuing their upward trajectory by releasing a remake of KARA's iconic hit song, 'Pretty Girl,' scheduled for August 8.

The group, managed by The Muse Entertainment, has been gaining momentum following the unexpected chart success of their previous release, 'Love Attack.' The song has been performing well, with tripleS recently achieving significant public recognition.

Additionally, they have ventured into advertising, appearing as models for brands like CU convenience stores, demonstrating their growing influence and versatility.
