Career
The teenager eye-catchy rookie girl group, Weeekly, started their journey in 2018. At that year, the agency, FAVE Entertainment, made an announcement about their plan to form a new girl band.
Their announcement contained the group’s name and the group’s line-up. At the previous time, the group had the name FAVEGIRLS which consisted Lee Soojin, Monday, Park Haelin, Shin Jiyoon, Park Soeun, Kim Gaeun, and Lee Jaehee.
But the name then changed into PlayM girls because there’s a merger between FAVE Entertainment and Play A Entertainment into Play M Entertainment on April 1, 2019.
In July 2019, Park Haelin left PlayM because she wanted to focus on his studies. Meanwhile, in August, 2019, Kim Gaeun also left both the agency and group. In October 2019, trainees Jihan and Zoa had officially joined the pre-debut lineup.
One year later on May 8, 2020 there was an announcement from Play M Entertainment about the debut of PlayM Girls. The group would debut with the name Weeekly.
Weeekly then made their first debut on June 30, 2020 by releasing their first EP called We Are.
The EP has the lead track called Tag Me (@Me) and successfully reached 10M views in just one week.
Because of their success, they got the Female Rookie of the Year Award by Korean Consumer Forum on September 28, 2020.
The group then started to release the group’s 2nd extended play. This EP has a name We Can and was released on October 13, 2020.
