Unicorn (Hangul: 유니콘) is a four-member K-pop girl group produced by veteran R&B singer Kim Jo-han under Show Brothers Entertainment. According to Kim, “the name refers to the group’s goal to heal people with music, just like a unicorn’s horn is said to have the power of therapy.” The band debuted on September 3, 2015.

Pre-debut
In 2013, Rumi debuted as a member of the girl group Purplay under the name Seolha. After releasing a teaser for their debut song, “Love and Remember”, the band was quickly accused of plagiarizing their choreography from a performance by America's Best Dance Crew winner I.aM.mE, even drawing accusations directly from I.aM.mE members. The group’s agency, Purplei Entertainment, ultimately admitted to lifting the choreography and reached an agreement to credit I.aM.mE in the video description.
2015: Debut with Once Upon a Time
Unicorn was first revealed to the public in August 2015 through Naver TV Cast’s web miniseries I Am a Girl Group, a five-episode sitcom that “revolves around various topics concerning K-pop idols, such as dating and dieting.” On September 3, the group released their debut EP titled Unicorn 'Once Upon a Time'. A music video for the album’s title track, "Huk", was released on the same day.
2016: Winnie's departure, new agency and 'Blink Blink'
Somewhere in 2016, Winnie left the group because of health issues. After Winnie's departure, Unicorn moved to another agency 'Cartoon Blue Company'.
On July 26, 2016, they released a teaser for their comeback single entitled "Blink Blink". A day later, they released its full music video and their second mini album, Unicorn Plus / The Brand New Label.
