In October, Tahiti unveiled teaser videos and images of their upcoming single "Hasta Luego", which revealed that Ye Eun, Keezy, and EJ were no longer with the group. The three members were replaced with Jinhee, Miso, and Ari, the latter of which had left the group prior to their debut. Ye Eun and Keezy redebuted in 2015 as the R&B duo "Verry", under the names Sina and Soma, respectively. Keezy has also released a solo album entitled "Somablu".
