The seven-member girl group debuted on March 19, 2015 with five members Seunghee, Yujin, Seungyeon, Sorn, and Yeeun, and later added Eunbin and Elkie in February 2016. Despite reaching global success with popular songs, like “Devil,” “Hobgoblin,” and “Me,” CLC stalled promotions in 2020, while several members started doing their own things. In February 2021, Elkie left the group after a contract dispute. Soon after, Sorn, Seungyeon, and Yeeun left Cube, while Yujin debuted with Kep1er in January 2022.
NU'EST debuted on March 15, 2012 with a line-up of five members: JR, Aron, Baekho, Minhyun and Ren.

APRIL debuted on August 24, 2015, with a line-up of six members: Somin, Chaewon, Hyunjoo, Naeun, Yena, and Jinsol. During the group's active years, they had a change in line-up following Somin and Hyunjoo's departures. They were replaced with Chaekyung and Rachel. In 2021, the group faced backlash as Hyunjoo and her family claimed she was bullied by the other members. DSP Media announced on January 28, 2022 that APRIL decided to disband after much discussion and deliberation.
