In January 2012, DSP Media announced that they would be debuting a new sister group to Kara and Rainbow. Temporarily nicknamed as the DSP Girls, the group revealed plans to debut simultaneously in both Korea and Japan through an anime titled Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future, with characters based on the members of PURETTY themselves.

On 17 January 2014, DSP Media announced that the group had been disbanded with the possibility of its members debuting into other groups in the future.
