Five-member girl group iii returned after a year with “WaiT,” released on August 28, 2026—a hip-hop dance track that pairs strong bass and drums with powerful choreography. 1 In an interview with Edaily, the members put live singing at the center of how they want to present this comeback. 1
Leader Subin said iii sings live on every stage and considers both vocals and performance its strengths. 1 Eungi added that she wants the group to show its identity as singers, describing confidence and composure as part of its appeal. 1
Rehearsing the voice and the movement together
The concrete challenge behind that ambition is keeping vocals stable through the song’s intense movement: Edaily reports that there were days when iii practiced for more than 10 hours toward that goal. 1
For a listener curious about this comeback, that combination gives “WaiT” a useful point of focus: the group is treating singing during powerful choreography as a central part of its preparation. 1 It’s an intriguing ambition to bring to such a physical performance.
A new image, a consistent priority
Subin described a move from the group’s dreamy debut image toward a cooler, more powerful presentation. 1 Taeri said the sudden change initially worried her, but practicing with the other members gradually helped them make the concept their own. 1
The comeback’s secret-agent concept gives the members individual roles: Subin plays the leader, while Taeri is the sniper responsible for decisive moments. 1 That adds a playful character detail to the image change.
Eungi, meanwhile, sees an advantage in iii’s not yet being defined by a single concept and wants the group to handle different concepts well. 1 Read together, those comments suggest a distinction between a flexible image and a consistent performance priority: iii wants room to change its presentation while keeping live singing central to its identity. 1
There’s also a concrete music-show connection: iMBC’s September 9 preview of Show Champion included iii among the announced performers, without specifying the group’s song. 2
The members hope to hold a standalone concert, and Eungi’s ambition extends to becoming a K-pop headliner. 1 She wants the name iii to make people immediately recognize the team—a specific aspiration for a group that also wants the freedom to explore different concepts. 1
