Choi Ha Na was the lead dancer for their new Korean Comeback "I GOT A BOY", being praised for her hip hop dancing experience. She has gain much more popularity with her dancing and notably her hair after cutting it. She and Vega β are currently working on their first Japanese album.
After Vega β disbanded, she decided to go back to a normal life and to focus on her studies as she decided to go to University after high school.
On November 4, it was announced by Icchan that Seo Miyoung, alongside Choi Hana and SunSaeSu, will re-debut and revive the disbanded DreamS Korean Pop Group Vega β. Hana blogged about the revival shortly after Icchan announced the news;
Dear fans of Vega β,
I'm back! I know you all haven't heard from me since July 2013, when Vega β disbanded, but I've decided to come back to the entertainment industry, and have decided to balance both school and work.
With this confidence and determination, I'm absolutely up and ready to come back to DreamS as a revived and returning member of Vega β.
I will admit, there were a lot of days I wish I didn't graduate from DreamS. This feeling grew so much that I decided to come back to DreamS when the given opportunity came.
To be honest, I got the call from Icchan after Mimi-unnie contacted them to return. I am so glad for that opportunity, and I was really relieved that unnie was thinking the same thing and was feeling the same thing I was feeling.
I am so ready to come back, but I have to wait until January 2014. It seems so far, yet so close. You may be thinking, "How can you get ready so quickly like that?".
It's because we're Vega β that we can!
I wasn't surprised when Tsunku announced that there will be new members. Me and Mimi are a bit rusty, having been not in the scene for a while, and so we need juniors to help bring the hype back!
Other than all of this, I am absolutely glad and hope that you will continue to support Vega β as if the whole disbandment never happened. Vega β will always love you guys! I will always love you guys!
Thank you for your understanding! I look forward to seeing you guys again!
