A Cool New Summer Song Inspired by Classical Music

According to WikiPickyMedia's report, The grand comeback project features a bright, high-energy title track called "Ice Cream." Music producers describe the new song as a catchy, medium-tempo pop dance track that uniquely uses a sample from Vivaldi’s famous classical masterpiece, "Spring." The track blends crisp, refreshing violin sounds with a modern pop beat. It uses sweet lyrics that tell a playful story about wishing that real ice cream would never melt away under the hot summer sun.

The title track will be released alongside a beautiful music video that looks like a fairytale, where imagination and real-world moments cross paths. Beyond the new single, the Secret Flavor album is packed with a total of eight songs designed to make long-time fans happy. The tracklist includes a brand-new side track titled "GET RIGHT," as well as highly anticipated modern 2026 Versions of Secret's biggest past hits, including "Madonna," "Shy Boy," "Love is Move," and "YooHoo."

A Brand New 3-Member Lineup for a New Era

Secret originally debuted back in 2009 and quickly became one of the top groups in the K-pop industry by releasing a long string of highly addictive, retro-style dance hits. However, the group has not released any new music together since their album SECRET SUMMER came out all the way back in August of 2014.

While the group never officially broke up, their activities came to a sudden stop when their former management agency closed down in 2021. This long-awaited 2026 comeback marks a fresh start for the group as they return with a brand-new member lineup:

The Original Members: Core members Jun Hyo-seong and Jung Ha-na are back to lead the group's historic return.

The New Addition: The group has officially welcomed a talented new member named Yebin to help out with vocals and dancing.

The Missing Members: Past members Song Ji-eun and Han Sun-hwa are not participating in this project. Han Sun-hwa previously left the group in 2015 to focus completely on her acting career.

Now working together as a dynamic three-member team, Secret plans to use their grand summer return to connect with both older fans who miss their music and a brand-new generation of global listeners. With their famous stage presence and great vocals, Secret’s surprising return is set to be one of the most exciting K-pop reunions of the year.
