Introduction

3piece, formerly known as onair and st onair, is a South Korean girl group under SW Entertainment, previously with J-Star Entertainment.

On the 10th of November 2022, former member Kimi posted photos on Instagram, featuring Namkyung, Sohyeon, and Jihye, with hashtags “#ONAIR” and “#commingsoon”, revealing the up-and-coming group to the public. A week later on the 16th, the group was officially announced, with J-Star Entertainment as their agency. The company held a Japanese live tour for the group, “ONAIR Live Tour in Japan Start Up” from November 23 to December 31, 2022, prior to their official debut in Korea.

The group announced via Twitter, on January 19, 2023, that they had moved companies and would be preparing for their debut under SW Entertainment. Following their company switch, it was revealed that they had changed their group name to st onair, while also modifying their usernames across their SNS accounts in the process. However, shortly after, it was reverted back to onair.

On the 7th of August 2023, Hyeum was revealed to be a new member, but on the same day, Jihye was announced to have left the group. Later that month, Hyeum’s presentation post had been deleted alerting fans of her departure. On October 23rd, Viki (known as Yubeen at the time) joined the group, making it four members once again. However, sometime in January 2024, Kimi was removed from SW Entertainment’s website, indicating that she had left the group, and new profile photos depicting the remaining three members were released.

On March 24, 2024, it was revealed through SW Entertainment’s website that the group had been rebranded as 3piece. The name means that the group shines the brightest when three pieces come together, just as three pieces come together to complete a suit. It was announced on July 25th that the members would have new stage names. Yubeen will now be known as Viki, Sohyeon as Soo, and Namkyung as Iya.

On July 25, SW Entertainment announced that 3piece would be releasing their debut single "Summer Feeling" on August 5. On September 20, SW Entertainment announced that 3piece would be releasing their second single "Light Up" on October 4.
