Synopsis
The members of the group were decided through a competition show (Produce 101) which aired on 2015-2016. The girls are all from different companies signed to the CJ &EM company. 

They debuted with their titled track "Dream Girls". This is a song which may sound mainstream at the first listen but if you give it a couple of listens; you'll love it! The lyrics are very meaningful as well, unlike some other kpop songs nowadays. Give it a shot :)
