HINAPIA's Debut and Disbandment

HINAPIA debuted on November 3, 2019, with the single "DRIP." Before their debut, the group gained attention for being comprised of four former PRISTIN members and one new member. Minkyeung, Yaebin, Gyeongwon and Eunwoo signed with OSR Entertainment following PRISTIN's disbandment and recruited a new member named Bada.

On February 2, 2020, it was reported that HINAPIA was planning to make their comeback in early 2020, with the company stating they will take on a "more mature look." However, in August 2021, OSR Entertainment announced that the group would be disbanded and that the members had their contracts terminated. The reason given was due to financial constraits brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The group disbanded on August 21, 2020, after only ten months as a group.

Where are the HINAPIA Members Now?

Minkyeung was the group's leader, lead vocalist, lead dancer and visual. Minkyeung did not attempt to re-debut as an idol once more following the disbandment. She has since shifted into modeling, promoting under her birth name, Kim Min Kyeung. She has worked with brands such as The Izzat New York, MARHENJ, MLB Korea and Born Champs.

Kim Min Kyeung has her messages open on Instagram to connect with her for a project.

Gyeongwon was the group's lead rapper and vocalist. Following HINAPIA's disbandment, Gyeongwon did not pursue a career as an idol again. Instead, like Minkyeung, she pursued a career in modeling. She now promotes under her birth name, Kang Gyeong Won. Gyeonwon has modeled for brands such as ULKIN, HOLYNUMBER7, Born Champs and Kappa.

Gyeonwon walked the runway of Seoul Fashion Week as a model for Seoul Fashion Week.

Eunwoo was HINAPIA's main vocalist and face of the group. Following the group's disbandment, Eunwoo has not pursued a career as an idol. Instead, she has remained under the limelight and is enjoying her life as an online influencer. In August 2021, the former idol released a photo album with Feelstage web pictorial. In addition, she often does sponsored posts on Instagram.

Yaebin was the group's main rapper, lead dancer and vocalist. Following HINAPIA's disbandment, she has not pursued a career as an idol. Instead, like Minkyeung and Eunwoo, she has focused on modeling, promoting under her birth name Kang Yae Bin. She has modeled for brands such as SYSTEM STUDIOS, Flowoom and NERDY. She also does sponsored posts on Instagram.

Bada was the group's main dancer, vocalist, rapper and maknae. Following HINAPIA's disbandment, she did not pursue a career as an idol. As a result, she has stayed relatively out of the limelight.
