Playback has been MIA for the longest time, making whatever fans there were of the group worried for their future. However, Coridel Entertainment recently announced that they would be adding Ma Eunjin to the group fresh off her ‘K-Pop Star 6‘ turn, which at the very least means the group’s not dead.
안녕하세요 코리델엔터테인먼트입니다. 당사의 소속 걸그룹인 플레이백의 멤버 충원 관련하여 공식입장을 알려드립니다. 플레이백은 기존 멤버인 예나, 우림, 소윤, 하영에 K팝스타6를 통해 많은 사랑을 (cont) https://t.co/myHo15klX8

Greetings from Coridel Entertainment. Playback, along with members Hayoung, Soyun, Woolim and Yena welcome Ma Eunjin who received much love and support from Kpop Star 6 as the newest and final member of the group. Playback have devoted their lives to the studio and will deliver to fans what they deserve. We are coming~! We love you~! Thank you.
Ma Eunjin, of course, was supposed to debut with Playback to begin with, but after rumors about her being a bully and sasaeng were spread she dropped out. Coridel denied those two charges but seemed to not want to deal with controversy, so they debuted as four. Now that her image has been relatively improved, I guess they decided to go at it again with the original lineup.
Regardless, I’m just glad they’re back … and so is Hayoung.
