About Fromis_9
What is an Idol School?
The idol school was a survival audition program broadcast on Mnet, and out of 41 participants, 9 members ranked 1st to 9th were selected to form Fromis_9.
Girls who want to be idols become students at an idol school, complete the entire curriculum for 11 weeks, and aim to pass the graduation exam. The best student who passed the graduation exam will be selected as the debut member of the girl group. How exciting it could be, right?
A school teacher appears because of the school setting. Super Junior’s Heechul, who has changed his homeroom teacher to host, and actor Lee Seung Jae, who is the principal, are appearing.
Origin of the Group Name
The origin of the group name Fromis_9 is that Fromis stands for “from idol school” and has nine members, so “9” was added at the end.
In other words, “Fromis” means “promise” to become the best girl group!
Fromis_9 Fans Club Name
fromis_9’s fan club name is “flover” which is pronounced as “Prober”.
It is a coined word that combines the initial letter “f” of Fromis_9 and the song “Clover” which conveys gratitude to fans, and has the meaning of “a promise to spend happy moments together between fromis_9 and fans”.

Jisun was called Fromis_9’s mother because she is homely and good at cooking. In addition, she knows a lot of delicious restaurants because she often does research about local gourmet information. It seems that she is also a big eater and has won a game with a gluttonous manager!
Although she has a homely side, she is not good at waking up in the morning, so the alarm goes off every 5 minutes for 1 hour before she wakes up. Also, she seems to have never had a dream since she was little, so she is envious of Saerom who dreams a lot among the members!

In addition to being a sub-vocalist and lead dancer, Nagyung is in charge of Fromis_9’s visuals and charm! Fans say that she looks like TWICE’s Tzuyu, so much so that she even has the nickname “Korean Tzuyu”.
She is full of charm and is called “the cutest member of Fromis_9” by the members!
Also, she can speak Chinese because she went to study abroad in China when she was in her first year of junior high school!
She loves games so much that when she was a trainee, she shortened the time she would go home from one hour to 40 minutes in order to play as many games as possible. She likes “Overwatch” and reveals that she is a gamer who plays for 8 hours a day!

Position | Sub Vocal |
The youngest member (maknae) of fromis_9 was 15 years old when Jiheon debuted. She has been doing entertainment activities since she was little, and has been active since her childhood, such as modeling for advertisements and appearing in Korean textbooks.
Jiheon dislikes exercising, so she pretends to be sick and is confident that she will be number one. In fact, Jiheon is so bad at exercising that she avoids exercising because she is preparing for exams, is late for school, and has a heavy stomach!
However, when she was in junior high school, she was the class president, and her grades were so good that she was ranked 1st in her class and 2nd in her grade!
Gyuri – Former Member
Name | Jang Gyuri( 장규리 ) |
Date of Birth | December 27, 1997 |
Birthplace | Shuise-dong, Eunpyeong-gu, Saul Special City, South Korea |
Height | 168㎝ |
Blood Type | B |
Personal Instagram | Gyuri Jang (@gyurious_j) |
Position | Lead Vocal |
Ms. Gyuri passed the exam to become a member of Fromis_9 without any vocal or dance training until she appeared on “Idol School”.
Perhaps because her mother is a music teacher, her singing ability is high and she got high grades in vocal evaluation!
I’d like you to listen to Gyuri’s part on the vocal line of Fromis_9, who is in charge of the lead vocals, but please also take a look at Gyuri’s charming smile during her performance!
She is afraid of ghosts and she’s really not good at handling her fears, but her favorite movie is a horror movie!
It seems that once she was so surprised by a horror movie that she poured popcorn on the person in front of her. Of course, she went to apologize after that, but it seems that her reaction gets bigger when she sees scary things.
