Triple H () was a South Korean music ensemble established by Cube Entertainment, consisting of Hyuna alongside Pentagon members Hui and E'Dawn. The group produced two extended play records: 199X (2017) and Retro Futurism (2018). Following a public announcement regarding their relationship, Cube confirmed the departures of Hyuna and E'Dawn from the agency.
2017: Launch with 199X
In March 2017, Cube Entertainment revealed plans for Hyuna’s debut in a project group scheduled for May. On April 4, it was disclosed that Pentagon's Hui and E'Dawn would join Hyuna to form Triple H, which would also be featured in a reality program titled Triple H Fun Agency.
Triple H’s first EP, 199X, was released on May 1, featuring the lead track "365 Fresh" accompanied by a music video. The EP reached number 4 on the Gaon Album Chart and climbed to number 10 on the Billboard World Albums Chart. The "365 Fresh" music video attracted criticism due to its portrayal of themes such as sex, suicide, and crime.
2018: Retro Futurism release and member exits
Cube Entertainment announced Triple H’s return in June 2018, with a comeback set for July. Their sophomore EP, Retro Futurism, was released on July 18, led by the single "Retro Future," which attained the number 8 spot on the Gaon Album Chart.
On August 2, Hyuna publicly revealed her romantic relationship with E'Dawn that had begun in May 2016. Subsequently, on September 13, Cube stated it had terminated contracts with both artists due to a breach of trust, although negotiations persisted. By October 5, Hyuna and E'Dawn confirmed their decision to leave the company. Cube officially announced Hyuna’s departure on October 15 and followed with E'Dawn’s exit confirmation on November 14.
