HINAPIA (an acronym derived from Hi New Amazing Utopia; presented in all caps) was a South Korean female idol group established by OSR Entertainment. The ensemble was composed of five members: Minkyeung, Yaebin, Gyeongwon, Eunwoo, and Bada. They made their official debut on November 3, 2019, with the single album New Start and officially disbanded on August 21, 2020.
Pre-debut
Minkyeung, Yaebin, Gyeongwon, and Eunwoo initially entered the music scene as part of the girl group Pristin, managed by Pledis Entertainment, debuting on March 21, 2017, with the EP Hi! Pristin. Following their second EP Schxxl Out and the subgroup Pristin V—which included Minkyeung, Yaebin, and Eunwoo—Pristin officially disbanded on May 24, 2019. Subsequently, on October 21, 2019, these four artists re-debuted under AlSeulBit Entertainment (later renamed OSR Entertainment), joined by a new member, Bada. The group's name Hinapia was unveiled on October 24 as a shortened form of "Hi New Amazing Utopia."
2019: Debut with New Start
Prior to the official launch, Hinapia showcased their debut track "Drip" on the music show Show Champion on October 30, 2019. The single was officially released on November 3 as the title song of their single album New Start. The following day featured their showcase event titled Pursuit of a New Utopia. "Drip" reached number 18 on the World Digital Songs Sales chart dated November 16, 2019, positioning Hinapia as the eleventh South Korean girl group to appear on this chart with a debut single. The group also received a nomination for Best Super Rookie at the 2019 K-Champ Awards.
2020: Planned comeback and disbandment
On February 2, 2020, Hinapia announced intentions to release their second album within the year, promising "a more mature image." Nevertheless, OSR Entertainment declared on August 21 that the group would disband and all members' contracts were terminated.
