Rocket Punch (Korean: 로켓펀치) is a six-member South Korean girl group under Woollim Entertainment. The group consists of members Juri, Yeonhee, Suyun, Yunkyoung, Sohee and Dahyun. The group was announced in July 2019 and debuted on August 7, 2019 with their first extended play Pink Punch.[1][2]

History

Pre-debut

Juri was cast as an AKB48 12th-generation trainee through an audition in 2011. She was introduced to the public through AKB48 Team 4 in March 2012. Her first television appearance in Korea was in the 2018 reality competition show, Produce 48. Suyun and Sohee were introduced to the public as representative trainees of Woollim Entertainment through Produce 48 as well. In March 2019, Juri was confirmed to have signed with Woollim Entertainment to pursue her career in Korea by debuting as a member of the company's new girl group.[3] Two months later, Juri officially graduated from AKB48.[4][5] On July 22, Woollim Entertainment released a motion clip of Rocket Punch's logo and there was speculation that it would be a new girl group. Woollim Entertainment then confirmed it with a concept film released on July 23 which included the six members.[6] Rocket Punch became Woollim Entertainment’s second girl group since Lovelyz, who debuted in 2014.

Rocket Punch's debut EP Pink Punch was released on August 7, 2019, with "Bim Bam Bum" serving as its lead single. A debut showcase was held in Yes24 Live Hall in Seoul, South Korea, following the release of their EP.[7][8] The group held their first performance in Japan at the 2019 Girls Award Autumn/Winter Show.[9]

2020: Red Punch and Blue Punch

The group made their comeback on February 10 with their second EP Red Punch and its lead single "Bouncy".[10][11]

On August 4, the group released their third EP Blue Punch, and its lead single "Juicy".[12][13]
