In February 2018,
Yua Mikami announced that she would debut in South Korea with a new girl group with Miko Matsuda and Moko Sakura. Prior to this, all three girls had worked as idol singers in Japan, with Mikami as a member of
SKE48, Matsuda as a member of
NMB48, and Sakura as a member of
Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome (a sub-unit of Akihabara Backstage Pass). The group was funded by Mikami herself as a passion project. Their debut was met with controversy by South Korean media outlets due to the members being
adult film actresses. In June 2019, Nako Miyase, Ruka Tajima and Sara Izumi joined the group. In December 2020, Nako Miyase left the group. On January 16, 2021, Nako Miyase announced on Twitter that the group had disbanded, but corrected her statement a few days later. Since then, Honey Popcorn is on an indefinite hiatus. ==Discography==
