History
edit2020-2022: Bullying controversy, Debut with Flamingo and disbandment
editPrior to debuting in Botopass, Cui Xiang, Seoyoon and Jiwon were members of WKS ENE's previous girl group ILuv.[1] The group was originally scheduled to debut in early August, however it was postponed due to a former ILuv member, Minah, accusing fellow members of bullying her.[1] As a result of this, people began to demand that the three ILuv members be removed from the line-up.[1] The group debuted on August 26, with the single album, Flamingo, and the full original line-up.[2]
In September 2021, Mihee was confirmed to be a participant in the MBC survival show My Teenage Girl and temporarily went on hiatus from the group.
On August 25, 2022, the group officially disbanded, 2 years after their official debut.
