MISS A
Miss A (or 미쓰에이 in Korean), was a South Korean girl group formed by JYP Entertainment, that unfortunately, in December 2017, officially disbanded. Originally consisting of four members, with two members from South Korea and two other members from China, Miss A debuted in July 2010 with the single “Bad Girl Good Girl” as a quartet including Fei, Jia, Min, and Suzy.
According to some portal news, originally, the group was supposed to be made up of five trainees who were brought together by JYP Entertainment in 2010. Fei and Jia first appeared in Chinese variety shows performing dance routines and songs as the “Chinese Wonder Girls.” And in March 2010, fifteen-year-old trainee Bae Su-ji (Suzy) joined the group which, then was a trio that became known as Miss A.
The group signed with the Samsung Electronics group in China and released a song used for the commercial titled “Love Again” for the Samsung Beat Festival. Lee Min Young, a solo artist and a long-time trainee in America, also made a cameo appearance in the music video, and joined the group for their South Korean debut in April 2010. But actually, their official debut was in July 2010.
Miss A made their official debut in South Korea as a four-member group with their single “Bad Girl Good Girl.” And Miss A reached the first place on KBS’ Music Bank, becoming the fastest girl group to take the #1 spot on a music show. The group later made their comeback with their second single album titled Step Up on September 26th, the same year.
In May 2011, Miss A released “Love Alone,” a single from their unreleased album A Class, which was used as a promotional song for Yuna Kim’s ice show, and Miss A performed the song at the opening of All That Skate Spring 2011.
On October 8th, 2012, Miss A announced their comeback with their fifth project album titled Independent Women Part III. The five-track mini-album was released on October 15th. But something happened on October 16th. Miss A were involved in a minor car accident. They were taken to a hospital. And then, they began their promotions for its lead single, “I Don’t Need a Man,” on October 18th. “I Don’t Need a Man” was also included on Miss A’s next album, Hush, that was released in October 2013.
In May 2016, Jia left the group; according to management, the other members were focusing on solo activities at the time. In November 2017, it was reported that Min had also departed from the group as her contract with JYP Entertainment had come to an end.

2NE1
2NE1 was a South Korean girl group composed of Bom, CL, Dara, and Minzy, formed by YG Entertainment in 2009. At the peak of their career and prior to their split, 2NE1 was considered one of the most successful and popular girl groups in South Korea.
Having sold 66.5 million records, they are one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. Billboard magazine ranked 2NE1 as one of the best K-Pop girl groups of the past decade while The New York Times named 2NE1’s performance at the Prudential Center in New Jersey as one of the “Best Concerts of 2012,” according to some portal news.
2NE1 was first mentioned by South Korean press in late 2004. And then, in 2009, YG Entertainment formally announced them and told the press and audience that 2NE1 would consist of four members and debut sometime in May of that year.
2NE1’s first EP, 2NE1 that released in 2009, was preceded by two singles. The first one, “Lollipop,” was recorded with labelmate Big Bang and released on March 27th, 2009 to promote the LG Cyon phone. But “Lollipop” was not promoted due to its product advertisement affiliation, which caused issues with the network chart eligibility.
The second single, “Fire,” written and produced by 1TYM’s Teddy Park, was released that May and contained elements of hip-hop and reggae. “Fire” has two versions of the video, the “space” version and the other one is the “street” version. And within the first 24 hours of release, the videos each received over one million views.
On March 14th, 2013, 2NE1 released the English-language single “Take the World On,” which was a collaboration with American singer will.i.am. A second collaboration with will.i.am brought forth “Gettin’ Dumb.” The group received worldwide recognition at the end of 2014, as their album Crush made it to Fuse TV’s 40 Best Albums of 2014 and ranked first in Billboard magazine’s list of Best K-Pop Album of 2014, as well as eleventh for its year-end World Album chart.
Unfortunately, in 2016, YG Entertainment announced the disbandment of the group. CL and Dara remained signed as solo artists, while Bom was released from her contract. A last single, “Goodbye,” was released in January 2017 as a farewell to their fans, inspired by a letter CL initially wrote to Minzy. The song topped the Billboard World Digital Songs chart.

Secret released their second mini-album titled Madonna on August 12th, 2010. The music video for the title track of the same name was released on August 11th, 2010. Kang Ji-won and Kim Ki-bum, the composers who wrote “Madonna,” highlighted that the inspiration behind the song was about living with confidence by becoming an icon in this generation, like the American singer Madonna.
On the night of December 11th, 2012, Secret was involved in a car accident. Hyoseong, Jieun, and Sunhwa received only a few scratches and knee pain, but Hana suffered broken ribs and a bruised lung and therefore halted from Secret’s activities in order to recover.

Sunhwa’s contract with TS Entertainment was terminated on October 13th. Then, on February 28th, 2018, it was reported that Hyoseong and Jieun were in legal disputes with TS Entertainment.
