In the early 2010s, it was announced that a new group would debut under Professional Entertainment. The group of five would go on to first release the digital single “Inception” before the release of their actual album.
On February 20, 2014, the official music video for “I’ll Call Ya” was released. This video’s concept was that of a “girl crush” and would have normally not created a problem.
However, the video’s mixing, camera work, and visuals were found so low-quality that KBS banned it from being aired.
Not only did netizens find the debut music video awkward, but the live stage performances featuring a “surprise guest” were not well-received either.
The group would go on to have one more release and several member changes before quietly disbanding in 2015. Since then, several members have attempted to re-debut.
J-Na, Chany, and Jayoung were part of the short-lived “lesbian concept” group 4L and have since stepped out of the spotlight.
