The group is jointly managed by Wake One Entertainment and Swing Entertainment and was formed from the final lineup of the Mnet idol reality competition show “Girls Planet 999,” which brought 99 contestants to vie for a spot in the group. K-pop veteran idols Sunmi and Girls Generation’s Tiffany Young served as mentors.

They officially debuted last January with their mini-album “First Impact,” led by the title track music video “WA DA DA.”
