In late 2018, it was confirmed that the company had signed former Wonder Girls member, Sunye following her 5 year hiatus.[7]
In 2019, the company revealed plans to debut a new six member boy group known as Tripleme, revealing each member officially as well as promoting the group on their YouTube channel.[8] However, the group ceased activity after November 2020, without officially debuting.
In spring of 2022, Polaris's website officially shut down, following the departure of all musical artists within the company.[9][10] It is currently unknown if the company is still active.
^Member EunB died when the group's vehicle was in a traffic collision on September 3, 2014, while RiSe died of her injuries on September 7. The remaining group members left the label on February 17, 2020.
