Kep1er’s Yeseo & Mashiro (plus Abe Nagomi & Saito Serina) will join LIMELIGHT, who are now MADEIN

As reported during Kep1er’s contract renewal talks, members Yeseo and Mashiro will be heading back to their company 143 Entertainment to join group LIMELIGHT … except it’ll no longer be LIMELIGHT with their addition, and will instead be called MADEIN.

The pair will be joining up with existing members Gaeun, MiU, and Suhye, and apparently Abe Nagomi and Saito Serina from Produce 101 Japan The Girls that concluded at the end of last year. Or at least the Instagram account mentioned them, so it seems confirmed.

From Limelight's latest story on IG, they rebranded their name to Madein! (메이딘)

And yes it's 100% confirmed, Mashiro and Yeseo and 2 Japanese trainees, Saito Serina and Abe Nagomi will be joining Madein along with MiU, Suhye and Gaeun!#MADEIN #Limelight #Mashiro #Yeseo pic.twitter.com/iOraN6dPjw

Not sure why they needed to change the name (discoverability?), but LIMELIGHT themselves have always been promising despite three members seeming a bit sparse, so this is certainly intriguing.
