On August 11, DSP Media released an official statement addressing the management change and reassured fans that it would provide full support for both OH MY GIRL‘s group activities and the members’ individual careers.
DSP Media expressed its gratitude to the group’s fandom, Miracle, for their continued support, saying that the company would take responsibility for the group’s overall operations based on its extensive experience in artist management.
The agency acknowledged that fans may have concerns about the sudden change in OH MY GIRL’s management environment. DSP Media emphasized that it would respect and preserve the group’s established musical identity, worldview and history, which have been built together by the members and their fans over the years.
The agency stated that it would prioritize protecting the group’s unique identity while creating a more systematic and stable environment for their future activities.
In particular, DSP Media promised to support not only OH MY GIRL’s full-group promotions, but also individual activities that allow each member to showcase their respective talents and strengths. “We will spare no effort in providing full support so that OH MY GIRL’s full-group activities, as well as individual activities where each member’s diverse abilities can shine, can take place in a more systematic and stable environment.”
The management change comes as part of a broader RBW group reorganization. Previously, RBW announced a restructuring plan aimed at strengthening the specialization of its labels. As part of the reorganization, WM Entertainment will change its name to StrangeLab and pursue new strategic businesses that combine RBW’s intellectual property including music, video and artist IP with IT technology.
As a result, DSP Media, an affiliated company of RBW, will take overall responsibility for OH MY GIRL’s producing, planning, production and management. This means the change is primarily an adjustment to the group’s management structure rather than an announcement of OH MY GIRL leaving the RBW group.
OH MY GIRL currently consists of Hyojung, Mimi, YooA, Seunghee, Yubin and Arin. The group debuted in 2015 and has built a strong following with their distinctive musical style and concepts. Their most recent full-group release is “Weather Diary”, which was released on August 7.
With DSP Media now taking charge of the group’s management, attention is turning to how the new structure will affect OH MY GIRL’s future promotions and the individual activities of its six members.
For now, DSP Media has made clear that its priority is to ensure that OH MY GIRL can continue both as a complete group and as individual artists, while maintaining the identity and legacy they have established with Miracle.
