Members Heehyun and Chaeyeon joined the survival show Produce 101 in 2015 and due to this, they had to temporarily withdraw from the group. Meanwhile, MBK Entertainment added a new member to the group, Eunchae, on March 7, 2016. The company then announced that Heehyun and Chaeyeon will be joining the group for an upcoming comeback in June. The group filmed their new music video in Jeju Island and will be returning without Seunghee, who left to pursue an acting career after her contract expired on April 30. Since April, Chaeyeon has been promoting with I.O.I after ranking 7th on Produce 101 and debuting in the group.
