HRS, a project unit consisting of Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Sooyoung, is set to release its first digital single, ‘Skibidi,’ today, August 31, at 6 p.m. The single contains two tracks: the title track ‘Skibidi’ and the B-side ‘Lowkey In Love.’
Key Changes
HRS is a project unit featuring Girls’ Generation members Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Sooyoung. The key point of this announcement is that it is a separate project formed by the three members, rather than a full-group Girls’ Generation activity.
The title track ‘Skibidi’ begins with house music and transitions into hip-hop. It has been introduced as a song carrying the message, “Let’s make a new path of our own.”
Current Status
Before the music release, HRS performed ‘Skibidi’ and ‘Lowkey In Love’ for the first time at the 2026 Caschool Festival, held at Seoul Land in Gwacheon on August 22. The currently confirmed activity timeline therefore consists of the preview performances and the scheduled release of the first digital single.
The first single is scheduled to be released at 6 p.m. on August 31, 2026.
The project began through content on Hyoyeon’s personal YouTube channel, ‘Hyoyeon’s Level Up.’ The background behind HRS’s formation can be confirmed through that official content.
Impact
With this announcement, Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Sooyoung are beginning activities for their first digital single as a three-member project unit named HRS. However, no additional broadcast or performance schedules, or activity period, have been confirmed, so it is difficult to interpret this as evidence of a long-term activity plan.
Next Checkpoint
The next checkpoint will be after the music is released at 6 p.m. on August 31. Whether the release has been completed and the final platform URL should be verified separately after the scheduled release time. As of the time of verification, the URL for an individual ‘Skibidi’ performance video on an official SMTOWN channel had also not been confirmed.
