Overview

Drama (stylized as DRAMA) is the third extended play by the South Korean girl group Nine Muses. It was released on January 23, 2015, by Star Empire Entertainment, and distributed by KT Music. The title track "Drama" was also released on the same day as its only single. The album marks the first to include members Keumjo and Sojin, who joined the group after Lee Sem, Eunji and Sera's departure. In order to promote the album, the group performed on various Korean music shows. Background On January 29, 2014, it was announced by Star Empire Entertainment that members Lee Sem and Eunji had left the group. A few months later, on June 23, it was also revealed that member Sera's contract expired and she decided to no longer be a part of the company, also leaving the group. However, Star Empire confirm that a comeback from the remaining girls was expected to happen on August, including a new member, yet to be revealed. The anticipated comeback didn't happen. Instead, on August, a new project from the company was announced, including Nine Muses' Kyungri, ZE:A's Kevin, and the trainee Sojin. They debuted as the trio Nasty Nasty on September 3. Release After the promotions for the trio ended, a teaser image for a Nine Muses comeback came out on January 8, 2015, also announcing the album to be released on January 23. On January 11, another teaser was unveiled, confirming another line-up change to the group, as two new members appeared along the other girls showing only their backs. The day after, on January 12, the new members were revealed to be Keumjo, and Sojin, who debuted alongside Kyungri and labelmate Kevin as Nasty Nasty on the previous year. In order to introduce the new members, two teasers were released, one for Sojin dancing to Beyoncé's "Ego", and the other for Keumjo singing a short a capella cover of "Killing Me Softly with His Song".
