A Refreshing New Single Sampling Vivaldi’s ‘Spring’

The grand comeback project is led by a bright, high-energy title track titled “Ice Cream.” Production insiders described the new song as a melodic, medium-tempo pop dance anthem that uniquely samples Vivaldi’s classic masterpiece, “Spring.” The track layers crisp, refreshing orchestral string sounds over a driving modern pop beat, using creative lyrics that tell a whimsical, innocent story about wishing that sweet ice cream would never melt away under the summer heat.

The title track will drop alongside a cinematic music video that features a fairytale-like storyline where imagination and real-world moments beautifully cross paths. Beyond the new promotional single, the Secret Flavor mini-album is packed with a total of eight tracks designed to satisfy long-time listeners. The tracklist includes another brand-new B-side titled “GET RIGHT,” as well as highly anticipated modern 2026 Remixed Versions of Secret’s most iconic multi-platinum career hits, including “Madonna,” “Shy Boy,” “Love is Move,” and “YooHoo.”

A New 3-Member Lineup and Shifting Eras

Secret originally made their grand music industry debut back in 2009 under TS Entertainment, quickly rising to the absolute apex of the industry by delivering a continuous string of incredibly addictive, retro-inspired dance hits and sweet concepts. However, the group has not released a single new collective music project since the successful launch of their fifth mini-album, SECRET SUMMER, all the way back in August of 2014.

While the group never officially declared a permanent disbandment, their group promotions came to a sudden, forced stop due to the permanent closure and bankruptcy of their former agency, TS Entertainment, in 2021. The long-awaited 2026 comeback marks a brand-new era for the group as they reorganize their official member lineup:

  • The Veteran Leaders: Original members Jun Hyo-seong and Jung Ha-na serve as the primary core anchors for the group’s historic revival.
  • The New Addition: The group has officially recruited a talented new member named Yebin to fill out their vocal and performance lines.
  • The Departures: Former core vocalists Song Ji-eun and Han Sun-hwa are completely sitting out this project, as Han Sun-hwa previously left the lineup in 2015 to pursue a full-time acting career.

Reorganized as a dynamic three-member squad, Secret plans to utilize their grand summer return to connect deeply with both nostalgic older K-pop listeners and a brand-new generation of global music fans. With their rich history of explosive stage charisma and signature retro vocals, Secret’s surprising 2026 return is set to be one of the most exciting second-generation reunions of the modern music era.
