How are the EXID girls now?

Written by U1

EXID is a South Korean girl group that debuted in February 2012, with the single “Whoz That Girl”. They are known for their hits such as “Up & Down”, “DDD”, and more.

Around 2019 and 2020, the members of EXID left Banana Culture Entertainment. On their 10th year anniversary, EXID has assured LEGGOs that they are here to stay and released a commemorative album called “X”.

Currently, EXID as a group is on hiatus. However, the members are active and working on their solo projects. Let’s check out what the girls are currently doing!

This year, Solji debuted in the South Korean production of Six the Musical, where she plays Katherine Howard. Recently, she also released a single as part of the original soundtrack for the webtoon “Nine Us” called “Miracle”.

There is no doubt that Solji has powerful vocals and is knowledgeable on the subject of vocals. She was actually a vocal trainer for EXID before becoming a part of the group. In 2021, it was reported that Solji was a professor of practical music and vocals at Yongin University of Arts and Science. Early this year, she became a vocal coach for Boys Planet.
