Miss A

Miss A (Korean: 미스에이) (stylized as miss A) is a South Korean girl group created by JYP Entertainment through their sub-label AQ Entertainment.

History

Members Fei and Jia were selected in 2007 (Fei was scouted on her way to dance school, while Jia's school held auditions). Min auditioned when she was in the 6th grade, and traveled to the U.S for 6 years for training but came back in 2008 to continue activities in Korea. During her time in New York, she studied at the Repertory Company High School in Manhattan.[1] She is known to be a trainee who has been training for a long time along with Wonder Girls' Sunye (Sun) and 2AM's Jo Kwon. Members Fei and Jia appeared in 2PM's "My Color" music video. Suzy Bae was also a model.

2010: Debut "Bad Girl Good Girl" and "Step Up"

Miss A made their official debut in early July 2010. Originally, Miss A was announced as a trio consisting of Fei, Jia and Suzy in June 2010. Prior to this, they were widely known to fans unofficially as JYP Sisters. They were a 5-member group in training in 2009, but had gone through several changes, most notably the exit of Hye Lim who joined the Wonder Girls, while two other girls had left. Min had then joined after this, and a name change was issued.

Solo activities

Suzy starred in "Dream High" as the main character Go Hye Mi with 2PM's Taecyeon, 2PM's Wooyoung, IU (singer), T-ara's Eunjung and actor Kim Soo Hyun. Miss A member, Min, is currently a fixed student on KBS's variety show Oh! My School, also known as 100 Points Out of 100.
