Secret returns after 12 years with 'Secret Flavor' mini album — Jeon Hyo-sung tears up reading fan comments

Secret is back. Twelve years after their last group activity, the trio released the special mini album Secret Flavor on June 18. The comeback brought a lineup shift: original members Song Ji-eun and Han Sun-hwa have left, with Ye-bin joining alongside Jeon Hyo-sung and Zinger.

On July 1, Jeon Hyo-sung posted a video titled "Comments that made Jeon Hyo-sung cry" to her channel 전, 효성입니다. She read through fan responses to the album. Singers check comments the moment an album drops—what she found moved her to tears. One fan wrote: "I've been waiting for just today for days. I'm listening to it repeatedly."

Hyo-sung admitted the lead-up was rough. "I was very worried before the comeback," she said. But then: "Many people supported and waited for us, so my heart feels all warm and fuzzy." Twelve years is a long time to hold your breath.

The group's next scheduled appearance is July 17 at the 2026 Yeosu World Island Expo D-50 Boom-up YEOSU with MyK FESTA.
