Girl group Secret is back with their mini-album "Secret Flavor," released on the 12th of last month. This comeback marks their return to the music scene after a 12-year hiatus since their last release in 2014.

The return was spearheaded by leader Jeon Hyosung, who initiated the project. Secret now embarks on a new chapter as a three-member group, consisting of original members Jeon Hyosung and Zinger, joined by new member Yebin. They have partnered with agency RBW for this new phase.

The "Secret Flavor" album includes eight songs, featuring the title track "ICE CREAM" and "GET RIGHT." Notably, the album also presents new versions of their iconic hit songs, "Madonna" and "Shy Boy," offering a fresh take on their beloved music.

Secret, who debuted in 2009, was a popular second-generation K-pop group known for catchy tunes like "Magic." Their group activities ceased after the 2014 mini-album "SECRET SUMMER," and further halted with the closure of their then-agency TS Entertainment in 2021.
