honeyshoppe  is  a  brand  project  of  sanrio  ,  in  collaboration  with  honeylemon. it was announced in april of 2023 with the release of a twelve–part series on the girl group's youtube channel , documenting the process in which the brand was created , starting out as sketches by the members and then being further developed by a professional team of artists , marketing specialists , and toy manufacturers. to celebrate the official launch , a pop–up shop was held in seoul on april 30 , where the honeylemon members appeared and held a no–contact meet & greet.

since being launched , honeyshoppe have released various contents , from plushies and apparel to an animated web–series and recreations of honeylemon's music videos. they've also collaborated with numerous other trending brands , releasing honeyshoppe–themed makeup and skincare products , school and office supplies , and even ramen. most recently , the mobile game hello kitty island adventure was updated to include the honeyshoppe characters.

released in january of 2021 , the matnabong ver. 1 was an instant hit among fans. many thought it to be simple but pretty , and that it captured the essence of the group very well. it features a heart–shaped lemon , encased by a clear , pink plastic dome , as well as a white base and handle with a single pink button. when connected to the matnabong mobile app , it can glow a number of different colors , but its default is yellow. paired with the pink of the dome , at honeylemon's concerts , it creates the group's signature strawberry lemonade ocean.

യ  ♡  ( 🧁 )  ꙳  𐙚 honeylemon's sound is bubblegum pop perfection. with a production style characterized by addictive , idiosyncratic beats , catchy hooks , and standout middle eights , the group is known for their bright , cheerful concepts. ib : @bluwavez !! tw : bullying

debuting on may 17 , 2020 , honeylemon came in swinging with the digital single "asap". it was an almost immediate hit , debuting at #39 on the circle digital chart and steadily climbing its way to the top. the song got one win , on the last day the girls were promoting it on music shows.

their first comeback , "stereotype" , was even more of a commercial success. it sold twice as much , and earned them four music show wins. it also charted highly , peaking at #4 on circle.

being one of the most successful rookie acts , they took home the award for best new artist at the mnet asian music awards that year.

they started the next year off strong as well , releasing a three–track single album titled "russian roulette" on april 18 , 2021 , but were forced to promote the title track "loveshot" as five , as ej was on an indefinite hiatus after being swept up in a bullying controversy. although it was eventually proven to be false , the incident still impacted the performance of the album , and they ended up only winning two music show trophies for the era.

"mix n' match" was for the arts , not the charts. released on july 10 , 2021 , its title track of the same name was a mixed bag among fans , with some thinking it to be terrible while others called it "fun". nevertheless , the era is beloved , as ej finally returned to group promotions and seemed to glow on stage. the song also had a bit of a redemption era in 2022 , after being used in commercials worldwide when honeylemon became ambassadors for nike.

"not sorry" , released on october 11 , 2021 , shook the table. coming straight from their label senior , nabillera's , scrap box , honeylemon made the song their own , and it's now considered to be one of their best. a small but loud subsection of fans have spent years begging for them to return to this concept , although it is very unlikely it ever will. it got three music show wins.

finally , honeylemon finished off the year with their very first japanese release , becoming the fastest and one of the most well–received seventh heaven artists to debut in japan. their single album "winter wonderland" was released on december 13 , 2021 , in collaboration with the candy land board game and is impressively one of the best–selling projects by a k–pop artist in japan. it's title track "candy pop" charted on the oricon chart for over a year , and peaked at #1.

bonus : they performed a track called "sour grapes" during the seventh heaven family concert on december 28 , 2021. despite fans' begging , it still isn't available on streaming platforms.

honeylemon kicked off 2022 with yet another bang , releasing their first mini–album , "o–m–g" , on february 22. the title track "omg" , was popular on tiktok , especially with the girls' fancams going viral for their outfits , as they had gotten a new stylist. although they'd always had a sizeable international fanbase , the virality of this era brought them to a new level , putting them on the radars of people who'd never bothered with k–pop before. omg achieved eight music show wins.

honeylemon made their first japanese comeback with the single "wake me up" on april 9 , 2022. while not quite as successful as their debut , it still performed well , peaking at #4. the choreography went viral online , becoming popular to cover on tiktok and variety shows.

they stole the summer with the release of the single "ice cream" , featuring lablemate ara of nabillera on august 16 , 2022. the hype around this release was insane , with several big names being thrown around as fans guessed who the secret feature could be , only to be gagged by ara's reveal. after two years of incessant back–and–forth between their respective fanbases , it was truly a shocker. many were overjoyed to see ara on stage with a group again , since nabillera disbanded in 2017 , and the song did extremely well , achieving several perfect and real–time all–kills , and winning ten music show awards.

"dubble bubble" came and went. their second mini–album was released on november 3 , 2022. despite performing well enough , it just wasn't very memorable.

they released their japanese mini–album , "poppy" , on january 11 , 2023 , which was really just the one new track with the japanese versions of their previous title tracks. it peaked at #2 on oricon and actually performed quite well in korea , too , leading them to release a korean version months later.

in preparation for their first full length album , honeylemon dropped a pre–release single , titled "new me" , on may 6 , 2023. although the song was criticized by some for being "boring" , the era was anything but , coming just weeks after nabillera's naomi directly shaded honeylemon , essentially calling them knock–offs and ara a sellout in an interview for a high–profile magazine. joori's response during her acceptance stage for new me's first win , classily calling naomi out for being bitter , triggered weeks worth of online discourse.

honeylemon's first full–length album , "intencity" , was released on july 17 , 2023. the album and its title track "i like it" , both performed extremely well , as expected , and were nominated for album and song of the year at several award shows. this era was truly iconic , with the expert rollout. i like it received twelve music show wins in total. a repackage of the album titled "love u back" was released on september 18 , 2023.

lastly , honeylemon have announced their plans for a japan comeback , called "doughnut" , to be released on december 4 , 2023.
